Aether isn’t really a traditional Slackerjack. Then again, we’re not even sure if it qualifies as a real game. But it sure is pretty to look at. Let us explain…
Aether is the story of a lost little boy who finds a big round monster, and together they decide to explore space by catching onto clouds with their tongues and sort of swinging around until they land on other planets, where they have to solve all sorts of weirdly oblique puzzles. Play Aether as a game and you’ll probably end up blowing your brains out – but treat it as a comfy way to let your brain unclench and it’s actually not that bad.
