Can you reveal some of the features or gameplay experience?
Definitely. Like we mentioned before, Alan Sharp will be an open-world where a player will be able to roam the streets of Beggers Hole, a forest, shore, and countryside. The folk of Beggers Hole will have a random daily routine which will change as the day turns to night and vice-versa. You will be able to interact with most of them, so listen to their conversations carefully, they might reveal the next clue. Being a mystery game, there will be a lot of puzzles that need to be solved to reveal what truly happened.
Also, one of our most promising features is the survival aspect of our game. You might be chased down and killed by an entity you know nothing about when you least expect it.
