Alphabetical Order

Alphabetical Order is a surreal action game about surviving after you wake in a graveyard, unable to remember your name. In worsening weather, you follow signs to find shelter and fight for your name and social status. Your aim is to leave the arena with money and loot, and improve your speedrun time.

Story and choices

Three decisions can have far-reaching effects as you progress the story. An altar advances the story, while a day-and-night cycle and changing weather shape the world. You can retry to improve your time, test different weapons, loadouts and skillsets, or battle your friends to see who is faster.

Arena and equipment

Arena fights include five bosses: Bat, Crab, Duck, Elephant and Wombat. You can loot, craft and upgrade over 150 unique items, with Common, Magic, Rare, Epic and Legendary rarities. Weapons include one- and two-handed sets with distinct behavior, alongside light and heavy armor sets.

Five magic skills are available: Orb, Laser, Stunpowder, Landmine and Invisibility. A vendor lets you buy and sell items, a blacksmith handles crafting and upgrades, and a trainer provides skillsets.

Modes and progression

Hardmode and Permadeath Mode offer additional ways to play. A speedrun timer tracks your time, and the leaderboard includes a boss retry mechanic.
