Ether One is a first person adventure that deals with the fragility of the
human mind. There are two paths in the world you can choose from. At its core is a story
exploration path free from puzzles where you can unfold the story at your own pace.
There is also a deeper, more adventurous path in which you can complete complex puzzles
to restore life changing events of the patients history in order to help the validation
of their life. The choice is left to you. Welcome to Pinwheel. The aim of the parallel
paths was to make Ether One accessible to a range of skilled players. The hope was that
people would be able to enjoy playing the game and solving puzzles with parents or
friends, as well as immersed in the game on your own with the lights off. From a young
age we enjoyed the first person puzzle games that required you to write cryptic notes on
spare pieces of paper to unravel mysteries. Ether One aims to bring back pen and paper
puzzle solving, whilst still being accessible and optional for people not wanting to get
stuck and frustrated on the harder puzzles.
