About The Alley

A first-person psychological horror game. Explore a maze-like alleyway, using your camera to distinguish between supernatural "Aberrations" and deceptive "Deceptions" while escaping the relentless pursuit of a vengeful ghost.

More The Alley Details

After class, you step into the familiar alley on your way home—then suddenly find yourself trapped in an endless maze.Search for Aberrations, signs of something beyond reality, and separate them from the eerie but ordinary Deceptions that surround you.Unravel the mystery hidden within the alley, outrun the ghosts that hunt you, and escape with your life.

🔹 A Bracelet Capable of Detecting Aberration

Check the glow of the bracelet given to you by your Mudang grandmother to detect the presence of supernatural traces.

🔹 Aberrations and Deceptions

Every corner of the alley is littered with Aberrations, signs of an existence beyond reality, mixed among Deceptions that, despite their eerie appearance, could still be explained by the real world.

Photograph suspicious phenomena determine whether they are Aberrations or Deceptions.

🔹 Stories

Reporting specific Aberrations successfully will earn you Keys.

Use these Keys to unlock the "Chest of Truth" and reveal the dark secrets hidden behind the haunting.

Journey into secret spaces that conceal the truth behind the ghosts, and confront with another kind of fear.

🔹 Ghost Pursuit

Relentlessly pursuing you, the ghosts draw ever closer, driven by an obsession that only grows stronger.

If you feel a presence nearby, it means the ghost is close. Don't look back—just run.

🔹 Cat. A cute but scary cat.
