Description

AETHER // Neon Promises turns your smartphone into the center of a relationship mystery, where a seemingly ordinary message can change everything. Created by Wesker2727, this choice-driven romance visual novel follows a young man and his girlfriend, Simona, after a mysterious app called AETHER installs itself on his phone. Its suggestions soon steer everyday conversations toward secrets, temptation, and difficult decisions.

Told entirely through a simulated smartphone, this HTML-based, text-based game combines branching dialogue with 2DCG and AI CG artwork. As the male protagonist, you choose how to respond to messages, navigate group conversations, and react to hidden photographs. Your replies shape trust and secrecy across a growing cast of adult characters, while cheating themes and slow-building netorare tension complicate the romance.

Version 0.8.2 Alpha covers Chapters 1–4, featuring deeper relationships, expanded group chats, and the early stages of the VEILROOM creator app storyline. Short branching epilogues offer glimpses of where your decisions may lead, keeping the relationship drama closely tied to AETHER’s unfolding mystery. This unfinished build focuses on adult themes and emotional tension rather than explicit sexual acts, which are not included in this version.

Available in English for Windows, Linux, and Mac, AETHER // Neon Promises offers an intimate, message-driven story about how much influence you’re willing to give an unknown app. Download and play version 0.8.2 Alpha to discover what’s waiting behind the next notification.
