Play ALPEN GHOUL: Prologue

About This Game

It's faster than you and it's coming after you. Can you hide, slide, and survive?

You’re going to need to play smart and tread lightly if you plan on making it to the top of this mountain. An untold horror haunts these lonely trails, stalking your every move. Each ascending step brings you closer to your goal and even closer to death. And die you shall, more than once, in your quest to explore further, hide more effectively and master sliding.

ALPEN GHOUL is an exploration/stealth game. Your goal is to reach the summit alive, but you are not alone. You are being hunted by a creature roaming the same paths you do. Moving too quickly and making too much noise assures a quick and brutal end to your journey at the hands of your pursuer, so play smart and move with purpose. A flashlight will help light your way, but will also light the way to you, so use it with caution.

When the creature finds you, and it will find you, escape may still be possible by way of sliding down the treacherous mountainside: the only way to move faster than the creature in the game. The price of a speedy descent is high, however, since you won’t just leave behind the creature… but some of your progress as well. Choose wisely.



Multiple routes through varying terrain present different difficulty levels, with trees serving as a general guide toward a less dangerous path. All roads eventually lead to the top, but an appetite for danger does come with rewards. More difficult areas may hide Secret Tapes that can be played in Safe Rooms scattered throughout the map.



The creature is fast, intelligent and grows evermore agitated by your continued survival. It’s up to you to learn from your mistakes and reach the summit in one piece.

What horror lurks within the mountain? Can you even survive long enough to find it?

ALPEN GHOUL: Prologue is hard by design. Player experimentation, frustration, discovery and hopefully mastery are all part of the experience.
