After an exciting 4-week run, we've decided to temporarily deactivate our demo as we work on some major improvements.



Here's what's coming later this year:

🎮 The Mansion Level:
Step into a mesmerizing dream sequence set in the coolest level of the game—no more starting in the apartment/lake!


👩‍🎤 Brunilda:
Meet Brunilda, a central character who will soon make her debut in our story.

🔫 CRGS (Combat & Resource Gathering System):
Gather ammo, collect resources, and upgrade your gun as you explore cyborg-infested city of North Terrace.

🧩Additional puzzles: we will be adding a few more puzzles and environmental interactions to keep each level interesting.



🆙 Unity 6 Upgrade:
We're moving from Unity 2021 to Unity 6 to boost graphical fidelity and improve character detail.

We were burning the midnight oil to participate in February’s Steam NextFest, but we're glad we opted out. This decision lets us focus on delivering an even better experience for our audience at a NextFest later this year.

Thank you so much for your support as we navigate the bumpy road of game development! 🙏

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has checked out the Alter Evo demo so far! We've noticed that many players are dropping off within the first 10 minutes, so we're making some changes to improve retention.

We are officially adding Gun Combat to improve the fun and play-ability of enemy sections.

We are making game flow and narrative improvements across the board.

All of these changes will be released on February 13th.

We will leave the demo up in it's current form until then.

Thanks again for your support.
