Ectolibrium

Ectolibrium is a 2.5D science fiction platformer. You play as the Outlier, an alien creature taken from another dimension and cast into a dangerous wasteland. The game tells its lore with little exposition, and its simple but nuanced controls support both deliberate and frenetic play.

Explore the wasteland

You leap and cling to surfaces, use alien ectoplasm to fly, and collect nutrient to sprout alien seeds and solve puzzles. In cavernous ruins, you encounter alien creatures, tentacles, spines and homing projectiles. Careful observation and dexterity help you avoid these dangers. You can also spread ectoplasm, making the world habitable by your alien standards.

The fallen world contains corporate cults, mad science and lost souls. Engineered slaves from the past toil ceaselessly to siphon ectoplasm from other dimensions, while alien creatures slither through the ruins of a failed utopia.

Meet Demi and Tillinghast

Two strange humanoids, Demi and Tillinghast, follow you as they watch, argue and offer advice. Their distinct stories and agendas connect to the world’s history and future. As you explore, you can uncover lost souls trapped in the ruins and choose to free them, drown them or leave them alone. You can also focus on improving your skills and getting through the levels as quickly as possible; the narrative accommodates both approaches.
