Where families craft, quest, & discover the biblical story together
Narnia for a Digital Generation
Welcome to Aethasia!
The world of Aethasia is a mysterious steampunk land, once ruled by a benevolent Great Engineer, but now ruled by the evil emperor Lucky and his army of mechanical automatons.
As a player in this world, your child is part of a Resistance seeking to restore the land and return the Great engineer to the throne.
Our dream is to give everyone from preteens to families a chance to experience the Bible and the hope of Jesus with their families through the engaging medium of computer games. Discover what makes The Aetherlight one of the most engaging and entertaining Christian desktop and tablet games for families by creating a free account for yourself!

YouVersion Studies
Want to study these stories as a family? We've partnered with YouVersion to create a family reading plan that follows all of the quests in Season One. With a track for parents and a separate track for children, this will engage you both in the Bible stories and help unpack some of the deeper themes within these stories.
Companion Bible
We're deeply interested in encouraging curiosity in the Bible. So we partnered with Tyndale House Publishers to create an Aetherlight themed Bible. Full of game art, extra information on characters and locations, and lots more Aethasian lore, this is a great way to encourage players to dive deeper into the stories from which the Aethasian narrative is based.
Companion Engines
Did you know you can explore deeper Biblical connections between the world and story of Aethasia and that of the Bible? Try our companion Engines today to uncover the story behind the story! Available for free on iPad, Android, and desktop devices.
