Set in an underground city in a post-apocalyptic future, Antro is a 2.5D rhythm puzzle/platformer game where music is the key to defeating a totalitarian regime.

Take control over 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. That’s how your long journey through the corners of the city begins, catching the attention of La Cúpula and joining the rebellion of the Discordants.

Journey through the most remote places in the underground metropolis of Antro. Your mission is to deliver a package with an unknown recipient and, while you’re at it, overthrow the totalitarian government of La Cúpula. Play to the rhythm of urban music in this adventure full of action, puzzles and 2.5D platforming.

The underground revolution

After the Collapse, humankind has been forced to live underground. It’s estimated that only 1% of the world population has survived. Under the old city of Barcelona stands Antro. A dirty and dark hole divided into geographical strata 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 based on technological overproduction and the automation of sectors known as La Cúpula. Freedom of speech has been censored. Art and music, forbidden. And a rebellion seems to be coming to life inside the den in which they’re living.


Developer Gatera Studio has just released a new Antro teaser packed with action and new gameplay. Along with introducing us to the dystopian atmosphere of the game and its mechanics, it reveals new content that had never been seen before.

It takes us to the underground city of ANTRO and shows us the different districts that make up the city, divided in social classes. Most notably, it shows for the first time the third district, which is the closest one to the surface, and also where the most powerful inhabitants reside. Accompanying all the frenetic action, we can also hear the soundtrack of the game, which is a vital part in both the gameplay and the story.

Among the artists who have composed original creations for the game we can find JM Benet, Aleis / La Hepta and Status Crudo / La Hepta. The full roster will be revealed soon.

Deliver a package that will make history with music as your ally

Humankind has been forced to live underground, in the city of ANTRO. It’s a dirty and dark hole divided into geographical strata 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.

In this city, you’ll 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. That’s how your long journey begins, catching the attention of La Cúpula and joining the rebellion of the Discordants. You better be ready to prevent this unusual world from subduing you, because the key to revolutionize ANTRO is literally on your shoulders!

 

Music will be your ally

Dive into Antro to the rhythm of Hip Hop, Drill, R&B and electronic music. Play as Nittch and move freely around the city overcoming the obstacles that Antro will put in your way, be it resolving puzzles or doing *parkour*. But keep this in mind: when the story requires it, get ready to run in full speed, because the pursuits in Antro are an everyday occurrence and both you and the scenario will move in synchrony with the music. Remember: the enemy is always lurking.

Also pay attention with your ears. Each track, in each level, not only transmits and emphasizes the emotions, but also supports the narrative thread of the story.

You better be ready to prevent this unusual world from subduing you. Because the key to revolutionize Antro is literally on your shoulders.

Antro is in development for PC (Steam).
