If you’re ready for that feeling of “the familiar suddenly turning strange”, AIXLAB and publishers Smilegate and Thermite Games have The Alley, which just had its demo released onto Steam. While the game is obviously still being polished, the demo allows players to explore an endless maze built from real Korean alleyway details, all the while running from something that’s following you.
Slated for release later this year, the story has you on your way home from your late-night classes, where you find yourself trapped in an alleyway that has turned into an endless labyrinth. Take note of your surroundings carefully to distinguish between “Ghost Traces”, phenomena that could never happen in reality, and “Ghost Feints”, eerie occurrences that might seem possible. Uncover the hidden secrets of the alley, survive the haunting threats, and find your way out.
You’ll need to make use of your bracelet given to you by your shaman grandmother, which will glow in the presence of supernatural traces. Use your phone’s camera to spot and judge Ghost Traces and Ghost Feints. Reporting specific Ghost Traces successfully will earn you keys. Use these keys to unlock the “Chest of Truth” and reveal the dark secrets hidden behind the haunting.
The more clues you gather, the more relentless the pursuit becomes. However, you have only three lives. Lose them all, and you will be trapped.
