Play the Aether & Iron Demo – Available Now on Steam Next Fest

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to share that Aether & Iron is part of Steam Next Fest, and our free playable demo is now live!

This is the first time players outside our dev team have had hands-on access to the game, and we couldn’t be more excited to invite you into our retro-futuristic version of New York City.

In the demo, you'll take on the role of Gia Randazzo, a smuggler-for-hire navigating a world of floating islands, corrupt factions, and tangled loyalties. You will:

• Meet key characters like Nellie, Cress, and Needles

• Explore The Hole, your gritty home base and repair shop

• Recruit allies and customize your ride

• Engage in turn-based vehicle combat

• Bluff, bribe, or outmaneuver your way through tough decisions and dice rolls

Whether you're here for the story, the strategy, or the aether-powered weapons, we hope you enjoy the taste of what’s to come!
