We've just activated Steam Trading Cards! There are six (6) total cards for players to collect.
If you've already played a bunch of Etherborn, you should have a handful sitting in your inventory ready to be traded as you see fit! If you'd like to trade cards around with others to try and complete sets for cool rewards, might I recommend heading on down to the trading sub-forum? I'd also recommend just taking a second and enjoying the beautiful 3D art for each of the trading cards.
Happy hunting!

Reviews Round-up and Updates
Hello everyone,
In case you missed it, Etherborn launched last week! Have you played it already? With the launch now behind us, we can take a bit of a breather and see what the reaction was (launch day is a crazy event - sooo many things going around. It was terrific and terrifying at the same time). One of the things we couldn’t stop doing was looking for and reading impressions and reviews of Etherborn. Your heart stops for that split second when you notice a new review pop up. Below are a few review quotes that we wanted to share with you.
“It’s a carefully directed, genuinely beautiful game well worth your time.” - Rock Paper Shotgun
“Like a dream you can’t quite make sense of, but don’t want to end.” - Kotaku
“The level design is simply magnificent and, above all, manages to surprise the player.” - IGN España
"Etherborn is one of the most unique puzzles games I’ve had the pleasure of playing in recent years." - Geek
“The real puzzle in Etherborn is the design of the levels. The use of gravity and twisting of the laws of physics as a way to solve everything in front of us is a fantastic element that works really well.” - Hobby Consolas
We also wanted to let you know that we are working on a few patches and updates, making Etherborn just that bit better and cleaner. They will be popping up soon.
And lastly, we want to say a big thank you for your support. Seeing so many positive user reviews is humbling and satisfying. Thank you so much for the positive words. And please, if you have a moment, do leave a Steam review of our game. User reviews help in discoverability, and as an indie studio, we would love to get as much of it as possible. It helps us stay afloat.
Once again, thank you for all your support and we will speak soon!

Etherborn is Now Available to Download
Hello everyone,
So, the moment that we all at Altered Matter both looked forward to and feared has come. We can now proudly say, after all these years, those words that were on our mind from the moment we started work. Ladies and gentlemen, Etherborn is now available to play.

To coincide with the release, we also have a launch trailer - please pass it around your social feed or to anyone who is close to you. It would mean the world to us.
Now, we won’t be too sappy and emotional here, and we won’t take too much of your time either (there is a new game to play - let’s go!!!), but we just want to say a huge thank you to you for your encouragement, love, feedback, and support. Without good people around us, we wouldn’t have been able to do this crazy dream of ours. And if this is the first time you are hearing about us, here is a warm hello to you and I hope that Etherborn piqued your interest :)
And one last parting thought. We’ve made this game for you. So please, let us know what you think of Etherborn. We really do want to hear what your thoughts and impressions are.

Etherborn Soundtrack Preview
Hello everyone,
With Etherborn’ release fast approaching (it’s coming out this Thursday – wow!), we thought that it might be a good idea to give you a little taste of our soundtrack. Below are three pieces composed by our musician Gabriel Garrido Garcia.

Etherborn’s Release Date Revealed!
Hello everyone,
If you watched yesterday’s KFG Stream, you know what’s happening. If you don’t, then brace yourself. Etherborn has an official release date, and it’s July 18th 2019.

Date Reveal Teaser
In about a month’s time, Etherborn will be available to play. It seems surreal to us – all those years of work are coming to a close. Our baby is growing up. And although we might feel a bit sentimental, we also cannot wait to see what you all think of our game. I have a feeling that this time is going to go by quickly.
We’re really excited for the next weeks ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Please, if you haven’t done so already, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We will be posting some new info there as we get closer to the 18th. If you haven’t added us to your Wishlist, please do so – it would mean the world to us. And as always, if you have any questions, comments, feedback, please post it down below.
Until next time,

An update on our release date
Hello everyone,
First up, we have to admit that we’ve been a bit quiet lately on our end when it comes to announcing our release date. For that, we want to say thank you for being patient, and apologies for not saying anything sooner.
We won’t be making the Spring date as we mentioned in our latest announcement. We’ve been hard at work and have actually completed the game, and we are now dealing with the submission to the console platforms.
However, we’ve decided to hold on the release for just a bit longer. The end of May to the end of June period is a complicated time to release a game. The reason being - having E3 and the Steam Summer Sale happening one after the other.
Since we are a small title, it would be harder to get journalists to cover and review our game, and for people to pay notice to us with one of the biggest gaming shows taking place at the same time (damn you Call of Duty). And with Steam Summer Sale offering crazy deals to gamers, having our game at full price compete with some heavily discounted titles could put us in a bit of a disadvantaged spot as well (damn you GTA V and Witcher 3).
So for these reasons, we will postpone our release - but by not much longer. And as a matter of fact, we will announce our definitive release date really soon (*cough* *cough* #KFGE3Showcase).
We hope you understand our position. We want to have the best possible launch, and these extra weeks will also serve to have more time to prepare everything without rushing. It seems that this is the best chance in making sure that these years of work pay off in the end. We hope you understand that.
