About the Game

Etheria is an Ethereal Hero RPG

When a devastating global freeze threatens to extinguish human civilization, humanity transfers their consciousness into "Etheria," a virtual world, to preserve their legacy.

Within Etheria, humans coexist with beings known as the Animus, who wield mysterious Anima Powers. Their peaceful coexistence shatters when the "Genesis Virus" emerges, corrupting the Animus and driving them berserk, endangering humanity's survival. In response, the Hyperlinker Union forms to combat this threat.

Take on the role of a Hyperlinker and begin your adventure in Etheria.
