What you'll do

Idle the Wilds. Crawl the Abyss.

Aetherbound is an incremental RPG in a browser tab. The Wilds run while you're away. The Abyss is a crawl you play.

Bind a Founder

Create your lineage. Choose a race and class. Begin your journey into the Wilds.

Gather Aether

Aether trickles in from the Wilds while the tab is open. Click to jumpstart it. Buy upgrades until you don't have to.

Forge Your Gear

The Smithy turns materials into weapons, armor, and trinkets. Stats scale with what you feed it.

Crawl the Abyss

Floors, relics, fights you take. Fall and crawl out in this life, or True Death and name who walks next.

Ascend

Earn it. Permanent upgrades on the chart, and one worn heirloom if you keep it. True Death is the other door.

Rank

A leaderboard for Renown, depth, and personal bests.

Questions

FAQ

Yes. The full game is free. Supporter packs are optional cosmetics—badges and banners for your profile. They change how you look, not how you play.
Yes. Ember, Storm, and Astral banners, pack art, and badges are Whobrey Studios work. Anyone who bought while the old placeholders were live still has those banners as OG options. Details on the FAQ page.
Nope. Jump in as a guest. Sign in with Google or Apple to sync across devices and use the leaderboard.
The Wilds idle. Aether comes in while the tab or app is open, and a capped catch-up applies when you return. The Abyss is a crawl you play. Auto-Strike only on floors you've already cleared — not new floors, not bosses.
Random floors, relics, fights. Fall and crawl out in this life, or True Death and the next of the line. Ascend is earned — the chart, maybe one worn piece.
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play — same game as the web, same save if you sign in. They are not listed yet. Play in the browser now, or Add to Home Screen if you prefer the PWA. Android closed testers apply on Discord.
