La Terza Torre (The Third Tower): key art and an in-game screenshot
01What we do
A good game needs a story worth following, play that feels fair and fun, and technology nobody notices. We work on all three together, from the first draft to the last patch.
DialoguePlots that hold together, characters with a voice of their own and dialogue with good comic timing. We also direct the cutscenes and the voice acting.
Verb wheelPuzzles that are tricky but fair, controls you learn in a minute, a pace that keeps you playing and a tone that makes you smile.
The engine and the code that run the game in the browser and on the phone, with the content kept apart from the engine so the story can grow.
Every part of a game is in the hands of people who do that job, side by side from day one.
02Our latest title
Ethere presents La Terza Torre (The Third Tower), a point-and-click graphic adventure with clever puzzles and plenty of comedy, in the tradition of the great classic adventures. The story travels between San Marino, the Romagna Riviera and Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda.
No spoilers, just a few of the people you will meet. Each one is voiced, and nobody tells you everything at first.

Six stages, each ending with something you can read, see or play. Ideas change along the way, and the plan is there to make change easy.
Who, where and why. The plot is written act by act and sketched as a storyboard before anything is built.
Every puzzle on one map: what you need, where you find it and what it unlocks, so nobody gets stuck for the wrong reason.
Rough drawings, real gameplay. If it is not fun with sketches, it will not be fun later.
Painted backgrounds, characters, music, voices and cutscenes arrive scene by scene.
People who have never seen the game play it. We watch where they laugh and where they get stuck.
The game goes live, and we keep polishing, fixing and adding.
