Scheduled for release on March 31st, the narrative-driven role-playing game for Windows and MacOS operating systems invites players to take on the role of a smuggler in an alternate reality vision of 1930's New York, transformed by anti-gravitational “aether” technology.
Music for the game is by Christopher Tin and Alex Williamson. The music team previously collaborated on Mohawk Games' turn-based strategy title Old World, contributing music composition, production and arrangements. The composer reveal trailer is streaming on the developer's YouTube channel, featuring FAMES Skopje Studio Orchestra.
From the Steam product page:
With a writing team that includes credits on Far Cry, Mass Effect, and Sovereign Syndicate, Aether & Iron brings to life an alternate timeline in which anti-gravitational aether technology has reshaped the city skyline and deepened social divides.Seismic Squirrel - Aether & Iron
Thoroughly researched and inspired by real-life counterparts from 1930s New York City, explore its backstreets, dive into its seedy underbelly, marvel at stunning architecture, and peel back the city's many layers of power and greed. Your choices shape not just your path, but the city's fate as well. Will you rise as a savior, withdraw as a renegade, or evolve into a symbol of resilience in a world of authoritarian barons and high-stakes strategy?
We're thrilled to announce we're working with some of the most iconic names in game scores—Christopher Tin and Alex Williamson are composing the soundtrack for Aether & Iron! Watch our Composer Reveal trailer:https://t.co/UuDcZYtKvN#aetherandiron #christophertin #alexwilliamson
