Hello. :) I purchased a TTRPG system last year, and own another TTRPG system from the same developer in the Racial Justice bundle that was running last year.

Admittedly, I didn't... check what all was in that bundle at the time (and wasn't really donating to it for the games) so this might be a little on me, but I decided to go through it and see what all was in there. I see something that has actually been on my wishlist for a while and try downloading it, but the page gave me a 404.

I thought, "Well, maybe the bundle key expired or something." So I think to go to the page and just purchase it. I really enjoyed the other things this dev made and thought, "Why not?" But their page is completely gone, and I can't even download the other things I bought from them anymore. To clarify: Only one thing was (apparently) obtained through a bundle. The other system I purchased from them was something I paid for directly, but even that link no longer works.

I also cannot find the developer's contact info anywhere. Their Twitter is protected, their Patreon is dead, and they seem to have vanished. They weren't some scam artist or asset flipper, I actually did receive a product that was polished and (far as I know) not stolen. I've no idea why they've vanished from everywhere.

Can someone help me out?

The developer was Purple Aether games.

The game I purchased is a lite TTRPG system called Journey Away. It is actually quite good, especially for low-stress. It's a shame it cannot be obtained anymore.

The system I wanted to download from the Racial Justice bundle is called Next Horizon. Similar vein as Journey Away, but meant to accompany a free agnostic system by the same developer of both.

Even if it is impossible to restore downloads for previous customers, I would still love to know what happened to them. I'd been looking for something like their work for a long while and I'm sad to see it go.
