Press release:
[October 30, 2025].
The Irland-based indie games developer RibCage Games today announced with great pride and thrill that their hack and slash rhythm roguelite ‘Alpha Nomos’, is coming to PC via Steam in 2026.

In a world filled with crazed puppets and dangerous tunes, help Cello and her gang escape and grasp an understanding of the melody that drives these stuffed foes mad. With instruments as your weapon and the music you create as your guide, who knew saving the world could sound this good?

Get your first taste of Alpha Nomos during the DevGAMM and Metroidvania Fusion Festival Steam events. Running November 3-9 and November 3-10, respectively, the demo for Alpha Nomos is on display and acts as the sound check for this symphony of battle between Cello and the world that has trapped her within.

Key Features:

A Symphony Of Rhythm & Action: Utilize musical instruments as your weapons. Land your strikes on beat and create a rhythm to your attacks in order to dish out even more damage to your enemies.

Roguelite Elements That Strike a Chord: Craft unique builds of musical powerups that affect how your weapons sound. Musical effects evolve, making each performance different.

An Ever-Changing Melody Of Immersion: Weapon upgrades are based on real-life musical terms, allowing the music you create to affect the world around you. Each battle, each walk to the next objective, and each playthrough can showcase vastly different musical experiences.

A Journey that Crescendos to Epic Proportions: Explore a music-reactive world twisted in time and space by the power of the Alpha Nomos. Everything gets down to the beat, so use the environment to get into the rhythm!

This concert is one you don’t want to miss, so wishlist Alpha Nomos on Steam now. For more information on Alpha Nomos, join the official Discord and follow the game on Instagram. Follow RibCage Games on X and Instagram to stay up to date.
