The Great Cloud: Aether Refiner

A match-and-refine puzzle game from The Great Cloud — set in its world, built on its crafting, and growing into the mobile companion to the MMORPG. Match three, and watch raw ore refine into something worth keeping.

Aether Refiner is part of The Great Cloud. It is a puzzle game you can play anywhere, built on the MMORPG's own crafting: the five chains its world runs on — metallurgy, forestry, alchemy, arcana and textiles — become the pieces on your board, and the creatures that trouble the Cloud turn up to get in your way.

It is also becoming the mobile companion to The Great Cloud MMORPG: a way to carry a piece of the world with you between sessions and, in time, to earn cosmetic things in the puzzle that show up in the world. The first release is the puzzle, complete in itself. The companion side arrives in later versions, and what it will and will not do is set out below.
