AETHER CROWN is a fantasy visual novel with simulation and turn-based RPG elements.
You play as Carl, a young boy who dreams of becoming an adventurer. After traveling to the royal capital, Carl joins Dandelion, a legendary guild he has always admired. But the guild, the city, and the life of an adventurer are very different from what he imagined.
As the player, you guide Carl through his new life in the royal capital. Manage his schedule, take on guild requests, build relationships, improve his abilities, and make choices that affect how the story unfolds.
AETHER CROWN is primarily a story-driven visual novel, but it also includes simulation and RPG systems. You decide how Carl spends his time. Depending on your schedule and choices, Carl may train, accept guild work, meet other characters, trigger story events, face dangerous incidents, or become involved in romance and personal conflicts.
Your decisions can influence the direction of the story, Carl’s relationships, his reputation, and the events that become available. Some choices may lead Carl closer to his dream, while others may put him in danger or bring his journey to an early end.
Carl can grow through RPG-style progression. The game includes character stats, equipment, gold, reputation, personal traits, and turn-based battles. Managing Carl’s schedule and resources is important. You must decide when to train, when to work, when to build relationships, and when to prepare for danger.
Carl will meet guild members, rivals, friends, and potential romantic partners throughout his journey. Affection and relationships can affect character events and story progression.
