Experimental fictional world
Etheraio is a playable browser prototype with driving, sports practice, life activities and a fictional vault mission. It is not a finished GTA-scale or photorealistic AAA production. Earth/planet addressing and an Unreal Engine source foundation do not mean every planet or Earth location is fully built. Availability and graphical performance depend on hardware and browser capabilities.
Game credits, fictional offences and experiment scores do not represent money, real licences or real-world permissions. No wagering, paid loot-box system or cash prizes are included. Fictional heists must remain entertainment without real robbery instructions. The release contains crime-themed content and is intended for adult prototype participation; no independent age rating or implemented age-verification system is claimed.
Characters, portraits and media
Custom characters require no scan. An optional image or local video frame can texture a portrait; this is not a validated 3D face scan or identity check. Use your own likeness, or obtain lawful permission from anyone depicted and the media rights holder. Do not impersonate others, use intimate material or submit a child's image. The current game keeps media in the local page session, does not upload it, train on it or include it in the Save game record. Replace/remove it or close the page to stop use. No biometric recognition is performed.
Any future cloud avatar generation, public sharing, persistent media storage or biometric identification needs a separate clear opt-in, retention rules and rights assessment before use. No perpetual commercial licence to your likeness is created by these draft terms.
Resources and contributions
Rendering starts when Enter Etheraio is selected. The game pauses when hidden, with manual pause controls and quality choices. Rendering is distinct from Node contribution; playing does not turn on mining. Nodes can publish reproducible bounded world recipes after eligible reviewed medicine and other science tasks. A game experiment alone does not earn rewards or establish a scientific discovery. Read Node terms and research terms.
Saves and licences
Local game saves and offline files are optional; browser cleanup can remove them. You control whether to save. No cloud backup or cross-device transfer is promised. Source downloads are governed by their included open-source and dependency licences. Third-party names or publicly sourced vehicle/physics data do not imply brand endorsement, rights to copy a vehicle's protected design or official game licensing. Original game models and simulations must retain the relevant attribution and limitations.
