'AER' (ALL) Playable At PAX East - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 21, 2016 @ 5:39 p.m. PDT

AER is a mystic 3rd-person exploration adventure that puts players in the shoes of Auk, a pilgrim girl, to explore an unbelievable open world beneath her feet and wings.

The gods of old are forgotten, lost in the events that shattered the world, leaving only fragments of islands in the sky. On the journey, the player will encounter situations that have not been experienced in generations, and every step leads closer towards the end of the world.

In a genre mix between action adventure and flight exploration, players will join Auk on her pilgrimage. The surreal style of AER will be accompanied by reduced but colorful low poly graphics that underline the quiet tone of the game in a fitting way.

Wings? Yes, indeed! Auk has a rare gift: She can turn into a bird and is one of the few people who can reach even the most remote places in her homeland of flying islands, in search for the “Memories of the Past”. On her journey she encounters other shape shifters, visits the ruins of the old gods and has to face dark creatures to revive the world of AER from menacing shadows.    

AER is developed with a focus on strong aesthetics and free exploration gameplay, with all systems building towards that goal: The player is free to explore the world, complete objectives and progress in the order he wants to. All with a seamless, free flight mechanics, and with something new around almost every corner.


Get airborne during this year's PAX East as Daedalic Entertainment and Forgotten Key bring a hands-on demo of their atmospheric adventure game AER. Transform into a bird and fly to explore and experience a world of floating islands.
