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. :)

~ Hint ~

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

~ WebGL / HTML5 build ~

After having beaten a few errors trying to create the WebGL build I finally succeeded, only to find the performance being really bad and the shadows looking very blocky. Unity's WebGL export just seems to be not quite there yet for 3D games, so I won't offer it.
