Our take on Alter Cosmos
Rather than presenting adventure as exploration alone, Alter Cosmos combines point-and-click object use with hand-to-hand and ranged combat. Its comic-book format, horror elements, black humor, and a protagonist described as a cat-human-extraterrestrial hybrid give the genre an unusual tonal and visual mix.
What is Alter Cosmos?
Alter Cosmos is a comic-style science-fiction adventure about Aliencat, a hybrid creature living under a global totalitarian system.
The game uses point-and-click interaction to examine and use objects, collect items, and apply them in different situations. Players move through dangerous circumstances, interact through character dialogue, recruit a crew, and locate and prepare a ship for escape into space. Hand-to-hand and ranged combat are included alongside exploration and item-based problem solving. The story involves the Waves of Distortions, an unexplained cosmic phenomenon linked to theories about civilization and evolution. Its presentation combines original 2D illustrations, horror, black humor, and an original music score.
