About Labyrinth of Aetheria
Labyrinth of Aetheria is a retro‑style RPG that emulates 1980s‑1990s 3D dungeon crawlers such as Wizardry and Might & Magic. It mixes tense, turn‑based battles with an auto‑mapping system that records explored corridors for modern convenience.
The adventure begins in the frontier town of Aetheria, where rumors of a hidden Holy Grail draw many explorers. Players must use town services, choose classes, and collect equipment while navigating the labyrinth beneath the town.
01 / THE GUIDE
Town Facilities
Aetheria’s hub offers several services that prepare adventurers for dungeon runs. Shops handle item trading, the magic guild provides spell learning, and the thief guild sells secret tools, giving players multiple avenues to acquire gear and abilities.
Quests are obtained from the adventurer’s guild, while clues for deeper exploration appear in the tavern. These locations together create a pre‑dungeon routine that can be customized to suit each party’s needs.
- Visit each facility before a long expedition to ensure you have the best available gear and spells.
- Cross‑reference shop prices with the appraiser’s valuations to avoid overpaying for items.

Class System
Players may select from basic classes—fighter, thief, priest, mage—and advanced options such as paladin, samurai, ninja, and sage. Each class grants a distinct set of skills that shape combat tactics and party roles.
Changing classes allows adventurers to combine different skill sets, enabling unique character builds that can be tailored to specific dungeon challenges or personal strategy preferences.
- Start with a basic class to learn core mechanics before experimenting with advanced options.
- Pair classes whose skills complement each other, such as a healer with a high‑damage melee.

Item Encyclopedia
Items discovered in the labyrinth can be appraised by party members or the town’s appraiser and then recorded in an item encyclopedia. This creates a persistent catalog of loot across play sessions.
The encyclopedia serves as a reference for identifying rare equipment and tracking collection progress, helping players decide which items to seek or trade in future runs.
- Appraise newly found items promptly to keep the encyclopedia up to date.
- Review the encyclopedia before each run to spot missing equipment categories.

Custom Portraits
The game includes a custom portrait system that lets players replace default adventurer images with personal pictures. This visual customization personalizes the party’s appearance for a more immersive experience.
Using personal images can make the party feel more individualized, especially during long dungeon crawls where visual cues help keep track of each character’s status.
- Prepare portrait files at a suitable resolution before importing to avoid scaling issues.
- Assign distinct images to each class to quickly differentiate party members.
