You are them, on s.t.e.r. by Erkberg
Would you give up yourself just to belong?
Johnny is a young lad whose parents died. He moved to the city to find somewhere to belong.
All the people there take a medicine called s.t.e.r. ("substance to eradicate radiance") these days.
It makes them lose their individuality and the differences between them, so they can get along with each other well.
Johnny is rejected by some kids his age because he has never taken s.t.e.r., so he sets off to find some in order to not be alone anymore.
Will he succeed? Will the sacrifice be worth it?
"You are them, on s.t.e.r." is a third person 3D platformer with elements of stealth and bullet hell.
I hope you enjoy this little game! I encountered a lot of joy, but also frustration making it. :)
~ Controls ~
WASD / Arrows / ZQSD / left analog stick to move
Mouse / right analog stick to look around
Left mouse button / space / right trigger (R2) to jump
Right mouse button / left trigger (L2) to slow down time

There might just be an alternative ending if you finish the game without picking up any vials. It is really, really hard though. :)

It becomes difficult for I cannot look around every corners.
Part of me wonders if there is an alternate ending if you complete it without consuming any STER, but I was not skilled enough to find out.

Only after I started writing this comment I understood the pun in the game name! Very nice touch!
