ALPEN GHOUL: Prologue Windows game

ALPEN GHOUL: Prologue

BrocBois | Released Mar 20, 2023

It's faster than you and it's coming after you. Can you hide, slide, and survive?

You’re going to need to play smart and tread lightly if you plan on making it to the top of this mountain. An untold horror haunts these lonely trails, stalking your every move. Each ascending step brings you closer to your goal and even closer to death. And die you shall, more than once, in your quest to explore further, hide more effectively and and master sliding.

ALPEN GHOUL is an exploration/stealth game. Your goal is to reach the summit alive, but you are not alone. You are being hunted by a creature freely roaming the map using non-linear paths. Moving too quickly and making too much noise assures a quick and brutal end to your journey at the hands of your pursuer, so play smart and move with purpose. A flashlight will help light your way, but will also light the way to you, so use it with caution.

When the creature finds you, and it will find you, escape may still be possible by way of sliding down the treacherous mountainside: the only way to move faster than the creature in the game. The price of a speedy descent is high, however, since you won’t just leave behind the creature… but some of your progress as well. Choose wisely.

Multiple routes through varying terrain present different difficulty levels, with trees serving as a general guide toward a less dangerous path. All roads eventually lead to the top, but an appetite for danger does come with rewards. More difficult areas may hide Secret Tapes that can be played in Safe Rooms scattered throughout the map.

The creature is fast, intelligent and grows evermore agitated by your continued survival. It’s up to you to learn from your mistakes and reach the summit in one piece.

What horror lurks within the mountain? Can you even survive long enough to find it?

ALPEN GHOUL: Prologue is hard by design. Player experimentation, frustration, discovery and hopefully mastery are all part of the experience. If you do find yourself struggling and want a bit of help, check out the DEV TIPs video. Good luck! It's going to be difficult, but I believe in you!

Alpen Ghoul: A High-Speed Horror Game Massive Update

Mar 16 2024 News

It's been about a year since we released Alpen Ghoul. Seeing people actually play the game was a huge thrill, but it also opened my eyes to how much I still had to learn about game design. I've been continuously making games since then, and I've grown significantly better at it. We've made some massive updates for Alpen Ghoul's Anniversary. If you've never played the game, now is the best time to jump in.

Here are a few of the things you can expect if you dive into Alpen Ghoul in 2024:

A brand new TERRIFYING addition to the second ending.

• The second ending is now even more TERRIFYING and easier to attain by the average player, although it won't be a cakewalk, everyone should be able to access the secret ending relatively easily.

Improved controls; you can now slide with ease, even uphill.

• Alpen Ghoul is a fast-paced, high-speed horror game. As such, the Slide Mechanic, used to escape the Yeti, is now easier to control and faster. You can even slide uphill.

New story elements that unfold every time you reach the cabin.

Secret Messages

• These messages were not featured in the original game. For the anniversary update, there are now new story and lore segments that will play every time you reach the cabin.

Enhanced secret tape system, making it easier for everyone to find the secret ending (which, did I mention, is more terrifying than ever).

• The secret tapes are now larger and glow, making them much easier to find. Larger tapes aid in the exploration of the mountain environment. They also have voice acted clues to help players solve the secret ending.

And perhaps the most significant update: a VOLUME SLIDER!

There are numerous other small changes made to enhance the Alpen Ghoul experience. Who knows, I might make major updates in the future. I want Alpen Ghoul to keep players guessing, never truly knowing how much in hidden in the game.
