Guardians of Aether is a narrative-driven semi-linear MMORPG. The game has a semi-linear structure whereby gameplay and story are divided into chapters to ensure there is sustained and high-quality pacing. The term semi-linear in regard to the game relates to the critical path narrative wherein players are given a level of flexibility in the order of quests they complete each chapter and also have ample choice in dialogue choices during cutscenes.
