ANTRO is a platformer and rhythm game where music is the key to defeating a totalitarian regime in a postapocalyptic world. Developed by Gatera Studio and set to release in 2024, the game recently released a brand new demo on Steam.
In the city of ANTRO, humankind has been forced to live underground where the inhabitants of the lowest levels fight for survival doing forced labor, while the ones in the highest levels rule over the new underground world. The government has become a totalitarian system, handing over the power to a corporation known as La Cúpula. Freedom of speech has been censored. Art and music, forbidden.
You play as Nittch, a nihilist and lonely delivery guy that survives in the lowest level of ANTRO. Your mission is to deliver a package to an unknown recipient, but you catch the attention of La Cúpula and end up joining the rebellion of the Discordants along the way.
In the new and improved demo, players will get a taste of the 2.5D platformer levels and the original soundtrack that will be in the final game, as well as a general feel of the dystopian world of ANTRO and its story. Players will have to be ready to sync their movements with the beat of the music if they want to complete their mission.
In the final game, players can expect a variety of levels where the player and the scenario will move in sync with the music, and levels with intriguing puzzles and stealth sections where you’ll have to avoid getting caught.
With genres like hip hop, drill, R&B, and electronic music, the soundtrack contains various original music and lyrics composed for the gmae with a strong message in defense of freedom and art. Among the artists who have composed original creations for the game are JM Bene, Aleis / La Hepta and Status Crudo / La Hepta.
