Aethernet is an interactive storytelling experience set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity must rebuild the internet. Players act as 'exorcists,' tasked by a corporate HQ to clear out non-person presences lingering online. Through subtle, and dynamic conversations with spectral accounts. From ocean-dwelling beings to nostalgic chatbots, the game explores questions of humanity, connection, and moral consequence.  Your choices shapes your role in this fragmented, haunting digital rebirth.

Did you make this in Twine?  I'd love to know how you did things like the different windows!

Hiya! I did make this in Twine! I can’t track down the original file sadly, but I remember using CSS to make different window templates and then ‘tagging’ each scene so that they used the CSS I wanted! Hope this helps!
