Project: Ether

Stop Time. Be a Witch. Save the World.

Project: Ether is a 30-minute vertical slice student project featuring approachable stealth mechanics, diverse story, and unique visuals.

You play as Zhay, agent codename Spirit, who came back from their previous mission with a mysterious soul imbued in their prosthesis only known as The Kid. Explore the mysterious UAD research labs and beyond with the power to enter the Ether dimension with the help of your COVEN witches, Haumea and Bari. Will Spirit find out the mysteries of COVEN and UAD? Can they save the world against the nefarious General Bryant and his unstoppable Guard Bots?
