Alpenglow is a narrative-driven survival experience about solitude, routine, and the quiet weight of everyday decisions.
Live alone in a remote cabin, manage resources, cook, read, and endure shifting weather as each choice subtly shapes your character’s mind and future. There are no enemies to defeat—only time, environment, and the life you build through small, irreversible moments.
Become part of the engine
Alpenglow is the world’s first story engine, generating one of hundreds of thousands of unique life stories as you play. While playing the game, you actively reshape the man’s past and determine his future, moment by moment. Every choice changes the story you read—and the more you read, the more the life you play begins to diverge.
Alpenglow places you in the final month of a man’s life. Time is limited, and every day forces you to choose what to do, what to delay, and what to abandon—permanently. Tension comes not from enemies, but from irreversible decisions and time slipping away.
The cabin is more than a shelter; it is a reflection of the man you are becoming. Manage your dwindling resources with precision. Cooking is an intentional, tactile process that nourishes more than just the body. Decide what to store for the deep frost and what to burn when the hearth goes cold.
Venture beyond the porch into a world of mountains and ancient forests. Every fishing trip is a gamble against the shifting winds. Navigation requires planning—weather risks are lethal, and the terrain demands respect. The beauty of the wild is matched only by its indifference to your survival.
In the silence of the North, your mental state is as vital as your physical health. Establish daily rituals—resting, reading by the fire, and embracing the silence. These quiet moments influence the narrative engine, subtly shifting your character's perspective and the story's ultimate direction.
In the silence of the peaks, routine is your only anchor to sanity.
Prepare meals with slow, deliberate care to maintain vitality and morale.
Record your thoughts and read by the fire to quiet the mind's echoes.
Rest is a luxury in the cold. Time your sleep to match the mountain's mood.
