What happens when you combine hack-and-slash combat, roguelite progression, a post-apocalyptic world, and a soundtrack that doubles as your weapon? You get Alpha Nomos, an unusual action-adventure from indie developer RibCage Games that aims to make every battle feel like a playable musical performance.
Set in a strange, devastated world overrun by murderous puppets, Alpha Nomos puts players in control of Cello, a young heroine searching for answers about the mysterious power of music and the catastrophe that has left her world in ruins. Armed with musical instruments and an increasingly diverse collection of upgrades, Cello must fight her way through hostile encounters while learning to make every attack count.
