Over the Alps

Over the Alps is a choices-matter narrative adventure told through a single, unusual device: interactive postcards, written by a secret agent and sent home to their handler from the Swiss Alps of the 1930s. As you fill in those postcards, you go undercover, evade the police, and try to tell friend from foe, alongside an unreasonable number of goats.

The game holds two thrilling stories from writers Jon Ingold, of 80 DAYS and OVERBOARD!, and Harry Tuffs, of King of the Castle and House of Many Doors, set against pre-war Switzerland's Alpine countryside rendered in the style of vintage travel posters. With a team whose pedigree runs through Failbetter Games and Inkle Studios, it offers hundreds of branching storylines, multiple secrets, and a Test of Character update that overhauled several mechanics.

Staying alive means staying mobile, since the law is always close behind, and survival in 20th-century espionage means meeting, befriending and double-crossing a colorful cast. The game is available in 15 languages with controller support, and rewards replaying its truly branching narrative for its multiple endings and secret stamps.
