Aetherian's Shard

In this single-player, first-person shooter roguelike Aetherian's Shard, you step into the robes of a wizard learning the ropes. Your journey through the demo will lead you to discover various magical staffs, each with their own spells and upgrades. Use your spells to combat the goblins and shard golems that block your path. The ultimate test awaits when you face Zog of the Crag, a goblin shaman driven by the power of Aetherian's Shard itself.                                                                                                                                                                              

From the Developer:

The Aetherian's Shard is a true passion project, under development since January 2025 by BitStorm Studio LLC. This small Arizona-based studio currently consists of a dedicated solo developer. Despite having little to no prior experience in game design, coding, or modeling, significant progress has been made in a relatively short time, something I'm incredibly proud of.

I hope you enjoy playing the demo. I am dedicated to seeing this project through to the end, and your feedback and criticism are invaluable in helping me grow and improve the game. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts!

Thank You!
