Alstan

Alstan is a 3rd-person action-adventure game set in the merciless deserts of Idnan, inspired by Amazigh and Tuareg cultures. You play as Alstan, a warrior cursed by the Mark of the Desert, a power that allows him to control sand but slowly turns him into one of the very Djinns he hunts.

READ THE DEVELOPPER'S NOTE AT THE BOTTOM

In the depths of an ancient tomb buried beneath the sands of the Idnan Desert, Alstan, a young nomadic warrior, has just lost his sister to a mysterious curse: the mark of the desert, a symbol burned into the flesh of those who bear the burden of the djinn.

Overcome with grief, Alstan crosses paths with a strange traveller. The latter reveals that behind this mark lies an ancient and feared being: Rahim, a legendary Djinn who has been confined for centuries in a forgotten temple. Driven by anger, Alstan embarks on a quest for vengeance.

Play as Alstan and set off across the Idnan desert, an arid and enchanting world inspired by Amazigh and Tuareg cultures. Along the way, face fallen spirits, ancient Djinns who have also been twisted by the curse.

With fast-paced combat, dynamic exploration mechanics and strong art direction, Alstan offers an immersive experience in a semi-open desert world, where every step brings you closer to the truth... and revenge.

DYNAMIC COMBAT

Face a variety of enemies blocking your path and testing your skills and endurance.

EXPLORATION

Climb surfaces, slide across sand, and explore the most secret corners of the desert and its ruins to learn more about its history and find items to increase Alstan's power !

SAND POWER

Use the curse to your advantage by harnessing its power, delivering powerful shock waves or propelling yourself into the air. It's up to you to decide how to wield this valuable asset.

NOTE

The game is a vertical slice created by a team of students as part of our graduation project.
