Alibi
Overview
A 2D mystery game that tells a collective story of school bullying across conflicting memories and lingering trauma.
As Jiang, a “therapist detective,” players return to her hometown to investigate a best friend’s disappearance from a decade ago. By entering the memories of three former classmates, she uncovers a history of bullying and survival in a 2004 Chinese high school.Alibi moves between present-day investigation and memory embodiment: players collect clues through point-and-click puzzles and choice-based dialogue, then relive high school memories in side-scrolling exploration.
