Read full description

Aetherfold 4D: The Lost Weave is a fantasy puzzle adventure built around four spatial dimensions. A wall can hide a path in a direction you cannot yet see. Rotate your three-dimensional slice through a four-dimensional world, reveal new connections, and learn to travel along a fourth spatial axis. Explore eight seasonal fantasy realms and 136 chambers, from blossom gardens and ancient ruins to frozen sanctuaries. Restore 384 rites, collect memories, and follow a journey through the Lost Weave. • Rotate through XW and ZW planes to uncover paths and solve spatial puzzles. • Unlock translation along the fourth dimension as your journey develops. • Experiment with all six rotation planes in the Observatory. • Walk, jump, interact, and explore with on-screen controls designed for iPhone and iPad. • Revisit unlocked chambers through the realm map and consult your journal and in-game help. • Play offline with progress saved on your device. The first realm (17 chambers) is free to play, with no ads or accounts. Continue with a realm pass, The Complete Weave (all realms, one purchase), or the optional Weaver’s Circle subscription: every realm and unlimited Threads of Light while subscribed, billed monthly or yearly and renewing automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings. Threads of Light can also be bought in packs; each one restores a chamber. Designed for landscape play.
