“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."

Pete Bottomley

Technical Game Designer / Co-founder

Pete Bottomley was a late comer to the game industry only getting a PS1 at the age of 10. Doom was what changed it all but he never considered himself a hardcore gamer. He received a 1st class honours degree in BA Games Design and then went on to receive a Distinction in MA Games Design. In between courses he worked at TT: Fusion on LEGO: Rockband as Camera Support and in the beginning stages of LEGO: TCW's as a level designer.

Pete currently lives in Bolton and is motivated by his partner and family for their full support in this strange transition into the real world. Along with movies, coffee and sports, he tries to find time to play some video games.
