RibCage Games announces Alpha Nomos release date

RibCage Games has announced that its rhythm-action roguelite, Alpha Nomos, will be released on October 12, 2026. The game will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

In Alpha Nomos, players control a character named Cello who uses musical instruments as weapons to fight corrupted puppets across various arenas, including abandoned cities and a corrupted circus. The gameplay is strictly tied to the beat; attacks, dodges, and abilities must be timed to the rhythm to be effective, while drifting off tempo can result in penalties.

The game features live studio recordings for its combat sounds rather than standard sample libraries. Additionally, audio power-ups such as Reverb, Flanger, and Delay are designed to reshape both the character's moveset and the musical track simultaneously using FMOD technology.
