ABOUT THE GAME

Alone was made for Lockdown Jam #1 at Manchester Metropolitan University. The theme was 'Power of Two', and Alone attempts to embody this with the mechanic of offering a brief text snippet, and then asking the player to make a choice between two keywords.

Each journey through the story is loosely influenced by the choices made by the player, and there is plenty of randomness. The order the cards come up in will determine the decisions you have to make, the story that you see, and probably the ending that you have!
