AETHERIS takes place in a strange, surreal world where the apocalypse begins. The entire game map is represented by the Desert a colossal wasteland across which Vazard villages are scattered. These are primitive creatures similar to anthropomorphic dinosaurs. They are surrounded by numerous predators and monsters, so they rarely leave their settlements. A measured, albeit dangerous life is interrupted by ominous mystical events. In the north, terrible creatures in masks have appeared, spreading terror in their path. And in the south an even more terrible dark force has awakened. To save their people, some Vazards dared to travel across the wasteland. The game character is one of them.
