This is such an amazing experimental piece of narrative. Truly eerie. I wrote a little blurb about it for an article: https://www.dailycal.org/arts/video-games/small-studios-big-scares-free-indie-ho... Thanks so much for developing this incredible piece of art!
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to write amazing articles for us indie devs. I'm glad you like Aether Diving. I've decided to push the weirdness further for upcoming games !
i liked this a lot, wish it were longer though..
i am chinese.that the game has some confusing words to me.QAQ
it's Discover My Body but with magic and tits
nice tits- i mean nice game
Honestly this game is soooo unique and fun... hope to see more from Raph!
perfect game!!! liked it a lot! hope to see similar soon
What am I supposed to do? :/
I'm trying to use the knife on the pink symbols, but nothing's happening. What are the controls?
try clicking the man with the cursor, he will tell you everything lol
i really enjoyed this!! i think the MS-DOS trappings (so to speak) were really really well done, and even the parts that were inconvenient felt purposeful in building that feel.
wtf is this
i... am very confused
Great !!!!
Cool game. Was hoping it would go on longer.
I couldn't tell how the wand worked after it switched to constellations.
Thank you. I have seen that throw a lot of people off, 'might fix it in an update some day.
Weird Trauma Center clone...
Thank you for the feedback and walkthrough !
Y'all know I'm 'bouta go diving up in that aether YA-KNOW-WATAM-SAYIN!?
That made me cringe really hard.
Good. Good.
Thank you for the great gameplay video ! Very quirky/entertaining.
I tried to heal the lady, but it will not work since that baby boss will hurt too fast in last 2 hearts. no matter how I try so hard...
BTW, I come to promote my indie game too~
Show post...
Im 14 and I saw this game. I wanna see B00BYS
would reccomend having a fast way to switch between tools
Certain its intentional that you do not.
Awesome aesthetic and challanging gameplay. The syringe isn't sufficietly explained (you need to adjust how much you inject), but apart from that, I really like how the game makes you learn on the fly.
A simmilar longer game with a different aesthetic is "mind scaners"
Thanks for the feedback, indeed the syringe could've used a better explanation. I might update/fix this later on.
im 13, this wasn't an adult game. This game was weird, the leeches and flies are too fast, ElLimitador is right, the hitboxes are too small.
im 11 and i played whole game xD should be 18+
the game has a nudity and violence warning
what did you expect
idk lmao i knew it is i played it for fun my watchers on itch wanted me to xD
it literally had a warning for nudity and violence bro
i know that's reason peapole on my twitch wanted me to play it xD
Nice game, but the enemy hitboxes are way too small. Also, I would like longer procedures, like in the trauma team franchise or other "doctor" games.
I'm not sure what I played, but I liked Picasso. Good game, surprising in all aspects. Great job :D
Gracias por el video! Me encanta que llegue a la comunidad espanola tambien.
Alright so, this game is great. I really like the art style and theming. This game is straight up too hard lmao. I really like the game and what it's going for, but I would personally adjust the rates that these different values lower over time. I like how frantic it is, but dislike how perfectly I must play. I'm unable to finish it now despite how close I get and I don't think I will be spending more time with it. Mostly, it's because of how much I need to mash the mouse. Very much doesn't lend itself to multiple attempts
I enjoyed my time with it tho and I eagerly await your next game!
it only took me two tries just get good
How nostalgic! You've really nailed the MS-DOS look. A bit hard to play at first but I count that as part of the experience.
nice game, didnt get the 'message' if there is one, but cool art
men see boobs, men click, men happy
Bruh So true
Man mother watch what man doing, mother slaps man, man get sad again
I'm completely stuck on what to do with the impurities, the wand tool reveals some symbols, and then what
Click the guys portrait with the cursor until he's done talking and the chi starts draining then use the wand on different parts of the bodies, you'll see the zodiac signs and 6ou don't do anything with those, you'll see little like blue fuzzy circle guys, click those with the knife
ah, so he wasnt done talking, thanks :)
downloaded for my steamdeck, killed the foetus and game crashed twice, the crash looked like part of the game but I guess not?
I'm pretty sure it is part of the game, since it happened to me too.
is that the end of the game? I've never gotten past that
i liked this a lot, wish it were longer though..
still it was really good!
Interesting, Good little game. This is a great inspiration for a H game.
during installation screen I hear a standard kick from fl studio)
It's true I had unclean thoughts once and they did this to me :(
Great game! I left feeling Different
I have truly awakened the CHI in my body.
that was surely interesting, i loved it
Fucking wicked game. Thanks for your creation. Awesome concept and unique gameplay loop
discover my body?
this game so weird
pretty sure there's some lore hidden in this gam
