The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline

The Descent Begins

About the Game

Hell is not a place of fire; it is a mirror of your soul.

In The Alighieri Circle, you are Gabriele Alighieri. You are not a soldier, nor a hero. Only a man crushed by a legacy you never asked for.

Every 33 years the barrier between our reality and the Hell fades.

To protect your family and the world you know, you must perform The Ritual, returning to your ancestral home and accept a destiny you have spent your life running from. In first-person psychological thriller focused on atmosphere, exploration, and story. There is no combat; only the tension of the unknown. Immerse yourself in a dark, modern interpretation of the Divine Comedy, where the Inferno is a shadow waiting to consume you.

The Ritual requires you to navigate two converging realities.

The Villa: Explore the silent, melancholic halls of the Italian manor.

The Dive: Cross the threshold into a distorted reflection of the infernal depths.

The Quest for the Infernal Seal: Gather the lost, magical pages of the Divine Comedy and reunite them to perform the ritual that keeps the gates of Hell sealed.

Thematic Puzzle Solving: Decipher esoteric riddles and navigate a harrowing psychological journey that forces you to confront Gabriele's deepest fears and trauma.

Unearth a Fragmented Truth: Scour the environment to find hidden collectibles and diary pages. Piece together the tragic history of the Alighieri bloodline and the forgotten memories of Gabriele’s life to understand the true cost of the Ritual.
