What is Ultros?
Ultros is a single-player 2D exploration platformer set inside an alien structure drifting through space, where you wake after an apparent ship crash. You fight creatures at close range, grow plants to open paths, and explore again as key story moments start new loops.

Not for you if...
- −you expect unlocked abilities to stay available
