About the Game

Discover ÆTHER RUSH – The first game in the AFTERLIFE franchise

ÆTHER RUSH is a semi-open exploration-adventure game with delivery mechanics, set in the AFTERLIFE universe. You play as an independent courier in Lumina, a vertical cyberpunk city where ASTRAEN and DOVAREN clash for control of Æther. As a direct prequel to AFTERLIFE, this game is a key technical and narrative pillar of the universe.

As a mercenary courier, you must navigate the suspended heights of Lumina—floating platforms, aerial docks, and crowded corridors. Every Æther delivery is a challenge: prepare your vehicle, optimize routes, dodge surveillance drones, and manage an unstable resource. Your alliances shape your reputation and opportunities: work for ASTRAEN, side with the DOVAREN, or remain neutral to thrive in the chaos.

  • Plan routes and customize modules to complete missions.

  • Gain reputation and rewards with ASTRAEN or DOVAREN.

  • Explore platforms, aerial corridors, and corrupted zones of Lumina.

  • Upgrade engines, armor, and tools to deliver faster and farther.
