About the Game

Explore a dystopian future in this Metroidvania platformer in which you use glitchy abilities to launch yourself and enemies across the level at high speeds, create temporary platforms, and more in your search to uncover the secrets of your origin in The Forum.

Overview

In Glitcheon you will explore a dystopian future in which a tech monopoly known as The Forum has gone completely unchecked.

In some shape or form, The Forum senses your presence. You will need to take advantage of glitches in the system to preserve your consciousness.

Glitchy Abilities




As you traverse through the recesses of The Forum you will discover terminals which will grant you new abilities that can give you an upper hand in the platforming and action packed challenges ahead.

Be warned, however, as glitchy abilities may have unintended consequences.
