In development by Altered Matter, Etherborn is an upcoming gravity-shifting puzzle platformer with a dreamlike aesthetic. Initially announced for PC, the game will now also be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Movement in Etherborn is the real puzzle, as gravity anchors your character to whatever surface you stand. Levels are essentially a Rubik’s Cube that one must use their power over gravity to try and solve. By exploring the idea of human existence, Etherborn takes players through a captivating story with each level backed by a powerful, unique soundtrack.
