RibCage Games’ rhythm-action roguelite Alpha Nomos will be coming to consoles.
The forthcoming title will make its way onto the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S following its release on PC (via Steam). A console announcement trailer can be seen below. Release dates for both PC and console releases will be revealed soon.
Itamar Berner, CEO of RibCage Games said this about the forthcoming title:
"We always wanted to put Alpha Nomos in front of as many people as possible. Bringing it to every console is how we get there, so anyone who wants to pick up a controller and feel the beat can.”
A synopsis for Alpha Nomos reads:

Join Cello and her friends as they explore their ruined world, fight murderous puppets, and uncover the mysteries of the powerful force known as music. What caused the destruction of this world? What is music? What is Alpha Nomos? All these answers await Cello in this magical world.
