Aetheric Tides

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Aetheric Tides is a single-player deckbuilding roguelike set in a fading arcane world. Travel between procedural regions, fight intelligent monsters, and watch your deck slowly become a mirror of the choices you make.

📢 v1.01 update— Endless mode, alchemy stress‑tests, and some new toys

Hey folks, quick update on the build — v1.01 is live 

🌀 Endless Mode

You can now pick Endless right from the main screen. One life, biomes loop forever, enemy essence scales with stage. This isn’t meant to be a “survive forever” thing — it’s basically a sandbox for testing the alchemy system.

⚗️ Why Endless matters

Alchemy now works with no limits in Endless. Three cards in → one stronger card out. And yes, if you keep doing it, your character becomes hilariously overpowered. That’s intentional — I need to see where the system breaks, which combos explode, and which ones fall flat.

So if you’re the kind of person who sees a crafting button and thinks “what if I press it 27 more times,” this is your moment.

🏘️ Village every 4 stages

• Shop with 3 cards
• Druid shrine where you can sacrifice HP / essence / a card → get a guaranteed rare

🌊 Hall of Tides

Local leaderboard under the Start button. Top 50 runs, sorted by stage. Good for spotting which builds are actually climbing and which ones die early.

💾 Save migration

Old saves auto‑migrate (defaulting to classic mode).

📦 Bonus

There’s a single offline HTML build in the archive — double‑click and it just runs.
