One-O-One Games and Entalto Publishing are preparing a first-person psychological thriller that will soon be playable on one platform.
“Hell is not a place of fire; it is a mirror of your soul.” The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is a first-person psychological mystery thriller and narrative adventure that reinterprets Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy as a surreal, introspective experience. In The Alighieri Circle, you are Gabriele Alighieri. You are not a soldier nor a hero. You are only a man crushed by a legacy you never asked for. Every 33 years, the barrier between our reality and Hell fades. In order to protect your family and the world you know, you must perform the Ritual. This requires you to return to your ancestral Italian villa and accept a destiny you have spent your life running from.
Gather the lost, magical pages of The Divine Comedy to keep the gates of Hell sealed. Alternate between a melancholic Italian manor and “The Dive”, a surreal dimension molded by the psyche. Decipher complex environmental riddles tied to Gabriele’s trauma and the Alighieri legacy. This is a dark, introspective twist on Dante’s masterpiece that transforms epic poetry into a dreamlike thriller.
Explore the silent, melancholic halls of your family home. Uncover diaries and the fragmented truth of the Alighieri bloodline to grasp the gravity of your mission. Cross the threshold into a distorted reflection of the infernal depths. Navigate the Dark Forest and Outer Hell, where the environment reacts to your internal state. Complete the purification journey. To seal the gates for another cycle, decide what part of your humanity you are willing to leave behind in the abyss.
The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline will be available to try on one platform. The demo will appear on Steam on February 19 as part of Steam Next Fest, and the game will be available on PC. The game is also being developed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, but a release date has not yet been announced.
