"Hero of Aethric" is a mobile indie RPG released in late 2022 by Northern Forge Studios, the creators of "Orna: The GPS RPG". Given its indie status, niche market, and secondary following from Orna players, the game likely maintains a small but loyal audience. Mobile indie RPGs with some online elements typically see DAPs in the low thousands unless they achieve breakout success.
