[February 21st 2025]: Alex’s Journey to the Grave is a heart-pulling visual novel telling the story of two people who share both name and fate; a bright young man who has escaped the control of his financially abusive mother to come and live in the city, and a young woman who has withdrawn from the world after her attempts to do the right thing ended in disaster and rejection.
Alex and Alex take refuge in fiction, fantasy, anime, and social media, all to escape the harshness of life. But they both still yearn for connection. Experience their journey towards each other– and together, into fate– with many subtle choices, and five different endings to unlock. Every scene is gorgeously hand-illustrated and set to a fully original soundtrack. Will Alex’s journey end in a better life? Or will it all spiral into tragedy?
Alex’s Journey to the Grave has a free playable demo on Steam, and is taking part in the Steam Visual Novel Fest from March 3rd to 10th.
Key features of Alex’s Journey to the Grave include:
- Lovingly Crafted Experience. A fully original soundtrack, along with hand-drawn characters and backgrounds pull players fully into the vivid world of Alex and Alex's story.
- Deep Emotional Choices. Neither Alex has an easy life or a simple past. As you guide them together, every choice you help them make about what to do or what to say inexorably steers events towards one of the five endings.
- Compelling Themes. Alex’s Journey to the Grave is not afraid of exploring the darker truths of adult life in our modern world. Themes such as depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and abuse are all developed and reflected on over the course of the story’s various paths.
