“The world of Ether One is a superbly detailed and well thought-out place.”
4/5 – Joystiq
“Ether One might well represent the apex of its particular subgenre. It engages the player at every level they might want to engage it, and rewards them handsomely for plunging into its depths.”
4.5/5 – Hardcore Gamer
"When Ether One has you stumped, you’re missing the obvious. For an adventure puzzle game that’s the Holy Grail."
82/100 - PC Gamer
"Ether One made me feel something very real in a time of immense difficulty in my life. For that, I thank it."
- Kotaku
"It's very Dickensian"
- Killscreen
"Those who don’t bother will miss a significant portion of the experience. Thus, even though the developers let you choose either one, I only recommend Ether One!"
4.5/5 - Game Revolution
"Ether One is an exceptional example of what can be done with simple game design. It has a quality not commonly seen in smaller indie titles, and the courage to do things a little differently."
8/10 - Games TM
"BioShock may have laid the groundwork for experimental adventures such as this, but Ether One has raised the bar for the genre, and for VR experiences within."
5/5 - VR Focus
"There are games that are so powerfully crafted, that the emotional response –by the time the game ends– is overwhelming. Then, all you can do is ponder everything that happened. You just sit there. You’re sad. Upset. Satisfied."
9/10 - GameLuster
"Don’t be surprised if you find yourself writing emails to people you’ve lost touch with afterward. This is one of those stories that makes you care all the more about the things you have in the real world."
- The Mary Sue

James Burton

Technical Artist

My name is James Burton. I'm an environment artist living in the UK. I was born and raised in Madrid but decided to pursue a career in games design which is why I moved to the UK. I Recently graduated from UCLan where I did a BA (Hons) Games Design course and earned a First Class Degree. Having the chance to create worlds that are immersive and explore the capabilities of the games media through art and design has been amazing.

After graduation, I joined White Paper Games as an Environment Artist/Tech Artist and began work on our first title, Ether. So far it has been an incredible experience. Being able to create our own game has been really exciting and working with a team that is passionate, talented and open minded is truly inspiring. I'm excited to see what the future holds for our small studio.
