Ares Games announces a partnership with Horrible Guild Game Studio to distribute the English edition of the sci-fi survival horror dungeon crawler Alone in the United States and non-European countries, after the Kickstarter fulfillment is completed. Alone is due to release in June 2020, alongside three expansions for different gameplay styles – Alpha, Deep and Avatar.
In Alone, a castaway member of a spaceship crew wakes up after a crash in an abandoned colony, and unspeakable horrors lurk in the darkness. One player controls the castaway Hero, who has a limited amount of time to complete missions while exploring a map full of dangers and traps that only gets revealed to them a small bit at a time. Up to 3 more players control the forces of Evil, plotting behind their screen against the Hero. Designed by Andrea Crespi and Lorenzo Silva, two of the authors of the award-winning Potion Explosion, Alone is played through several scenarios and features a stunning artwork by Steve Hamilton and highly detailed miniatures.
The expansions increase the options to create custom scenarios and allow to try new approaches to the game. Releasing at same time of the Core Game, the Alpha Expansion includes two Heroes and two Boss Creatures. Two more expansions will follow soon: the Deep Expansion presents four Boss Creatures and five Special Creature Cards, while the Avatar Expansion introduces two Heroes and five Avatars.
