■ Story
One day, a massive hole tore open in the sky. The sandstorms that poured from it disrupted global communication, leaving each colony isolated. Before long, strange and unknown creatures began to roam the lands outside the colonies. People called them \ In a world transformed, each colony began to seek its own path to survival.
Time passed since the onset of chaos. Humanity found new ways to live. One of them was the living enhanced suit \—gear capable of withstanding both the storms and the hybrid beasts. Though only a few could wear them, these suits became a symbol of hope for those sheltering within the colonies.
This is the story of one such enhanced suit—and the young man who would come to wear it.

[b]Alternative Alliance Alpha (AL2α)[/b] is the interactive pixel-art equivalent of an indie arthouse movie: at once both beautifully minimalist and meandering, more interested in world-building vignettes than over-arching story, and riddled with spelling errors, but a clear labor of love and artistic vision.

Alternative Alliance Alpha (or AL2α) is a fun and fascinating little game. From the start, I was swept up by the world and gameplay, and I'm already eager to jump back in to see more.

Jinovika, having met the requirements of being a Linker, is offered to become a Wielder, someone who partners with an Armalion to explore the outside. Accepting, Jinovika is able to venture into a sandstorm-riddled world, meeting many other Linkers along the way. The storyline isn't terribly deep, as it mostly evolves through gameplay and character interactions. To start, there are essentially two "game modes" featured here, so I'll divide them accordingly. The first part of the game is mostly focused on resource gathering and trading. In here, you're given a map with various points to travel to and a delivery log requesting various plants and minerals from outside. Here, you must balance your food and travel days to efficiently gather the necessary items while not tiring yourself out in the process. Selling your materials earns you credi…2 found this helpful
