Browser or Windows?

Choose the browser when…Choose Windows when…
You want to start from a link and your browser supports WebGPU.You use Windows and want the author’s alternative to browser loading.
You want to check the game before downloading a desktop build.The original page reports a capacity problem or your browser cannot run the client.

The Windows link above points to the archive linked by the author’s own page. We do not host a copy, bundle an installer or require a download manager.

Before opening the archive

  1. Confirm the address is on wow.aethus.pl. If the link changes, return to the original page and use its current download link.
  2. Download the .rar archive, then extract it with software that supports that format. Read any instructions packaged with that release.
  3. Run the client according to the release’s own instructions. Keep the original archive until you know the extracted build works.

We have not run the Windows executable or independently audited the archive. We do not publish a checksum or minimum hardware specification because the author’s public bootstrap does not provide either.

If the download link stops working

Use the link on the original page or check the community Discord. Avoid replacing a failed author link with an unknown mirror.

Is the GitHub source rebuild the same download?

No. OutThisLife’s repository describes a from-source local rebuild based on the benilla/wenilla engine. It is a separate community project and can differ in menus, abilities and progression. See the version notes before using a rebuild guide.
