› The Ethereal Tree

what is The Ethereal Tree?

An idle game focused on grinding Ether, unlocking layers, and upgrading over time.

Collect Ether and access multiple layers while purchasing upgrades to enhance your progress. The game is a prototype created recently with ongoing development.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Prototype corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
