About Alum
Alum is a point-and-click adventure in which you guide Alum on a spiritual journey through the dangerous, icy Land of Tide. He seeks the truth about his city, Kosmos, and a mysterious epidemic known as The Vague. The story is written as a Christian allegory in the vein of Pilgrim’s Progress and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Explore the Land of Tide
You travel across the Land of Tide using a map screen and solve logical puzzles designed to be balanced and rewarding, without pixel hunting. The world, story and characters have an RPG-like style, while the gameplay and pacing pair classic point-and-click mechanics with modern elements. The game takes roughly 7–10 hours to complete.
Art and sound
The game includes over 70 hand-drawn backgrounds, frame-by-frame animation, full voice acting and an original soundtrack combining live-recorded instruments with electronic elements. It uses a retro classic resolution.
