An offline game
Aetherfold 4D is a fantasy puzzle and exploration game. The game runs on your device and does not require an account. It does not include advertising, a developer analytics service, or multiplayer communication. The iPhone, iPad and Android editions offer optional purchases through Apple's App Store or Google Play. The first realm is free, and gameplay runs offline. Buying or restoring purchases requires the relevant store and an internet connection.
Progress and preferences
Your chamber progress, discoveries, memories, and sound preferences are stored locally in the app's container. The game does not transmit these files to the developer. This release does not implement cross-device cloud saves. Apple device and operating-system backups may include local game files according to your settings. Android cloud backup is disabled for this edition; uninstalling clears local progress and unused consumable balances.
Permissions and personal information
The game does not request your camera, microphone, contacts, or location, and does not access your photo library. It does not collect personal information for advertising or use an advertising identifier.
Purchases and store services
Optional realm passes and The Complete Weave are one-time purchases. Threads of Light are consumables. Weaver’s Circle is an automatically renewing subscription. Apple or Google processes payments under its own terms and privacy policy. The game never receives your payment card details. The store supplies product prices, purchased product identifiers, transaction records and subscription status so the game can deliver, acknowledge and restore purchases. On Android, a hash of each consumable purchase token is retained locally to prevent duplicate delivery; tokens are used with Google Play to complete transactions. These records are not sent to a developer-operated server. The stores may retain purchase records and provide the developer with order or financial reports under their own terms.
Downloading the game, store activity, operating-system backups, and diagnostics you choose to share with Apple or Google are governed by the relevant service’s privacy settings. See Apple Privacy and Google Privacy. These services are separate from local gameplay storage.
Google Play Games achievements (Android 1.2.1 and later)
The Android edition integrates Google Play Games Services for platform sign-in and achievements. Playing does not require a Play Games profile. If a profile already exists, Google may sign it in automatically. Players without a profile are not automatically prompted to create one; choosing Achievements from the game menu can start that process. When signed in, the game uses a Google-assigned player identifier and reports earned achievement milestones to Google. The identifier is used in memory for achievement delivery; it is not written into the local journey save or sent to a developer-operated server.
Google manages the gamer profile, achievement history and visibility settings. Its Play Games SDK also processes service analytics and diagnostic information as described in Google’s Play Games data disclosure and Google’s privacy policy. This game does not request friends lists, email addresses, server authentication tokens or Drive cloud-save access. The achievement service does not synchronize chamber saves, purchase ownership or consumable balances. Manage Play Games sign-in, profile visibility, or deletion of this game’s Play Games data through your Google Play Games profile and Google settings.
Delete Aetherfold Play Games data
To remove Aetherfold’s Google-hosted achievement data, open your Play Games profile, choose Your Data, then the account/data deletion controls, and select Aetherfold: The Lost Weave in the per-game list. Confirm deletion there. Google’s instructions also explain the steps in the Play Store app.
This removes the game’s Play Games data through Google; it does not erase the journey stored on your device, cancel subscriptions or remove store purchase records. Disconnect Aetherfold from Play Games before playing again if you do not want milestones from your local journey reported again. To erase local progress, clear the app’s storage or uninstall it. We retain no developer-hosted achievement records; Google controls retention of its diagnostics and purchase records under its policies.
Your choices
You can adjust sound in the game menu. Removing the app can remove its locally stored progress. Manage device backups separately through your device settings. Restore eligible non-consumable purchases and active subscriptions from the Weaver’s Store using the same store account. Consumables already used or removed with the app cannot be restored. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account or Google Play subscriptions; uninstalling does not cancel a subscription. No developer-hosted game account or gameplay database exists to delete.
Support and external links
If you contact support, your email address and the information you choose to send are used to respond to your request and are handled by the email provider. The game may open this policy or its support page in your browser; the website and browser then handle normal web requests under their own settings. Please avoid sending unnecessary personal information.
Children
The game does not knowingly collect personal information from children and has no developer-hosted accounts, chat, or advertising. Google manages any optional Play Games profile separately. The relevant store age rating describes the game’s content. Store parental purchase approvals are handled by Apple or Google.
