Alien Création launched in Early Access today, La Tour des Ombres (Tower of Shadows), a turn-based tactical RPG. Developed entirely by a solo creator using tutorials and AI support, the game is a personal passion project and aims to deliver a challenging, layered strategy experience inside a mysterious tower packed with danger.

Players take command of a squad and climb floor by floor, building their forces, collecting rare equipment, and facing increasingly difficult enemies, including boss fights.
The Early Access version already includes:
- 20 playable levels (including two bosses)
- 14 unique troops to recruit
- Around 150 collectible equipment pieces
- Fully functional battle mechanics with over 40 traits
- Merchant and inventory systems
- An in-game wiki and customizable options menu

The developer plans to exit Early Access by early 2026, with new troops, more floors, additional bosses, and equipment systems on the roadmap. La Tour Des Ombres is available on PC via Steam, below more details, and trailer.
