About the Game

Monster Taming meets Roguelite.

The monsters defied the virtues of this world and are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. Players become the Aethermancer and fight their way through the procedurally generated Fractured Ruins alongside these mythical creatures.

The game lets players build a team of mythical creatures, experiment with deep skill choices and get a sense of discovery and satisfaction after creating a build that feels so good that it feels broken. They plan their moves in challenging turn-based battles while utilizing the four elements of Aether until they lose all of their monsters… and try again!

As an Aethermancer, players can establish a soulbond with monsters and rebirth them. They will change in the process, but will grow stronger from their previous lives. The semi-random skill pool offers different skills on each level up and reacts to previous level up choices and other monsters in the team, enabling the player to build powerful teams, adding to endless replayability.

About the Developer

moi rai is an indie game developer studio from Germany led by Denis Sinner, a veteran game developer having worked on the Might and Magic and Tropico franchises.

Born out of a free-time project, moi rai successfully released its first game Monster Sanctuary on December 8th 2020. Since then the studio has grown into a small, international and passionate team that is working together remotely from all over the world.

Monster Sanctuary has received multiple post-launch free updates and a highly anticipated free DLC, before the team moved on to their new project - Aethermancer.
