Alma

About

Alma is a 2D platformer that follows a spirit's journey through eight stages of the Aztec afterlife. You navigate hand-drawn environments filled with obstacles and puzzles inspired by Mictlan's mythological layers. The controls are straightforward but demand precision as you leap over traps and manipulate time to progress. The story unfolds in quiet moments rather than dialogue, focusing on movement and discovery. The game’s art direction leans heavily into Mexican folk influences with bold colors and intricate patterns. Reviews note its visual charm and concise design, often praising how it balances simplicity with depth. While short at around two hours, the experience feels complete, leaving room for repeat playthroughs to uncover hidden details. Its cultural themes and aesthetic have earned it a steady following among indie fans since release.
