About

Players explore a steampunk city in a post-apocalyptic world. Gestalt: Steam and Cinder is a Metroidvania game, a subgenre of platform games that emphasize exploration. As the bounty hunter Aletheia, they explore under the city and attempt to learn more about both its history and a mechanical threat. Players must fight robots and other automatons. Aletheia's primary attacks are melee weapons, but these attacks can charge up a ranged attack. Players can customize Aletheia through a skill tree, and power-ups give her temporary boosts. It uses retro-style pixel art graphics.
