Alteric

Jump through boiling lava; run from perilous traps and saw blades; glide and climb through catacombs; fall into the abyss and overcome gravity. And don't forget to switch to a parallel dimension in time, because it’s Alteric!

About the Game

You are alone. Are you lonely? You're lost. Or stuck? Somewhere...but where? And most importantly, who are you?

Only Yesterday You Were A Man.

Today Everything Has Changed.

You Died.


But your soul is still there. It’s a piece of light energy trapped in the alien space between two worlds.
