AE Labs is the experimental division of SKOT.LIVE, where concepts evolve into playable signals decoded from the AEthan network. It’s a space where creativity meets code — where we test new mechanics, soundscapes, and stories before they reach the wider world. Every prototype is treated like a transmission: strange, imperfect, and full of potential. AE Labs thrives on curiosity, exploring what games can mean emotionally, technically, and thematically. This is where the data fragments turn into experience — and where you’re invited to help us decode what comes next.
Risk first, payment maybe... A sandbox of exploration and survival set in the cold reaches of space. Players chart unknown star systems, manage limited resources, and try to keep flying. The focus is freedom — building your own story across the stars with every decision. Beneath the surface, faint signals whisper about civilizations long gone. It’s an open-ended experiment in discovery, designed to make every journey feel like a story only you could find.
A narrative-driven experience about uncovering strange frequencies that cross between dimensions. Players become operators tuning into distorted transmissions, decoding what remains of forgotten worlds. Each signal tells fragments of a greater mystery that connects to the Rift Signal universe. Signal Seekers is about patience, precision, and curiosity — the thrill of finding meaning in static. It’s less about winning and more about understanding what the signal is trying to say.
An experiment in perception, Ganzfeld explores what happens when your senses are deprived and your thoughts fill the gaps. You are placed in a simulated isolation chamber with minimal input — no enemies, no objectives, only the shifting hum of your own mind. Over time, the game begins to change, mirroring your focus and attention. It’s a quiet exploration of what happens when the line between the player and the simulation starts to blur. AE Labs calls it a “study in awareness.”
A meditative idle survival experience built for calm and introspection. The player tends a small camp in an endless wilderness — a test of patience, persistence, and finding peace in stillness. It explores what happens when your character camps out for the night, when the world keeps moving even as you rest. Each dawn brings subtle changes: new sounds, shifting weather, and the quiet rhythm of survival. Designed to be more than a game — it’s a slow signal, a moment to breathe inside the AE Labs universe.
AE Labs is where fragments from the AEthan Skot network are collected and turned into experiments. Each project is a piece of the greater signal — a test of emotion, narrative, and sound working in harmony. The lab’s purpose isn’t just to create games, but to study how players interpret the unknown. Every new prototype helps us understand how imagination reacts to interference. Here, the boundary between play and discovery is intentionally blurred.
Our current development focuses on refining the balance between atmosphere and interaction. Early prototypes from AE Labs have begun testing signal systems, dynamic sound layers, and environmental storytelling. The next phase will integrate community feedback, letting players become active participants in the decoding process. Updates will be released as transmissions — logs of progress, breakthroughs, and lessons. In AE Labs, every experiment tells part of the story.
