Alt254

Alt254 is a minimalistic open-world action-adventure and exploration game. You play as ■, a nameless character represented by a single pixel, in a world where you cannot tell friend from enemy or safety from danger. Explore at your own pace, learn the world's rules and mechanics, and face enemies and hazards as you uncover what is happening and search for the meaning of your journey.

A world of mysteries

The world is non-linear, with different locations that each bring their own challenges, surprises and enigmas. You wake with no memory of this place or who you are. Scattered throughout it are broken pieces of your memory, offering glimpses of a lost past; finding them may help you understand your identity and why you are there.

Secrets are hidden in cryptic messages, deep underground and in places that seem unreachable, while others are in plain sight. Finding them can mean searching every pixel.

Explore and survive

You use precision, speed and wits to defeat enemies and overcome hazards. Combat uses a simple system, and weapons and skills are reduced to the bare minimum. Monsters and dangers are represented with a single pixel, as are the world's other elements.

Minimalist pixel art

The landscapes and world are presented at a resolution of 21x26 pixels. The abstract pixel-art style reduces the setting to its most basic representation, leaving you to imagine the rest.
