In Altered Alma, players embark on a journey through the neon-lit streets of Neo-Barcelona in a stunning cyberpunk Metroidvania adventure with RPG and dating sim elements.

As a young mercenary named Jack, carve your way through ruthless gangsters and thugs, work for some of the most dangerous people in the city, and make difficult moral choices while protecting your loved ones.

Altered Alma combines the beloved classic Metroidvania formula with RPG elements, dating sim features, a slick pixel-art presentation, and a gripping, non-linear story. Whether you want to beat up bad guys, find love, or just explore the beautiful cityscape, Neo-Barcelona awaits.

Developer 2Awesome Studio and publisher CRITICAL REFLEX announced that Altered Alma will launch a Kickstarter campaign on Sept. 3, 2024.

Coinciding with the Kickstarter, the game’s first high-octane demo will also be released on Steam, giving players a taste of its heart-pumping action.
