Developer Seismic Squirrel has posted the launch trailer for Aether & Iron. Inspired by detective comics and sporting an art deco aesthetic, the narrative-driven role-playing game has launched for Windows and MacOS operating systems. A playable demo is available, via Steam.

Aether & Iron 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. Original music is by Christopher Tin and Alex Williamson, featuring FAMES Skopje Studio Orchestra.


The music team previously collaborated on Mohawk Games' turn-based strategy title Old World, contributing music composition, production and arrangements. Dev Diary 2, titled 'How We Scored Aether & Iron with a Real Orchestra' is streaming on the developer's YouTube channel.

The soaring, jazz-infused orchestral soundtrack is hosted on Steam, comprised of 21 music tracks, available in high-quality FLAC format lossless audio. Music from the independently developed title is streaming on Spotify.


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.

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?
