Over the Alps
Agent, we have a mission for you: we need you in the Alps. Go undercover, evade the police, discern friend from foe.
Experience two thrilling stories from the minds of Jon Ingold (80 DAYS, HEAVEN’S VAULT) and Harry Tuffs (SUNLESS SKIES, HOUSE OF MANY DOORS), which will see you step back in time to WWII Switzerland’s awe-inspiring Alpine countryside inspired by vintage travel posters to complete your mission.
From a team with a pedigree of experience (FAILBETTER GAMES, INKLE STUDIOS), OVER THE ALPS features two independent stories with an additional third story coming soon. In addition to these free expansions, the new mechanical update, A Test of Character, adds an additional layer of intricacy to the police-pursuit mechanic, offering new ways to talk your way out of tricky situations along the road, depending on the traits you have developed during gameplay.
OVER THE ALPS is available in 15 languages including Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), German, Russian, French and Arabic; features controller support; and is available for both PC and Mac.

Not entirely sure why, but this one didn't quite do it for me. It's really not a bad game, which is why I'm still rating it positively, but it didn't capture me like other visual novels have. The postcard writing mechanic for making choices was cute game design, and the art feels polished. But the choices felt... I don't know. Random at best. Ultimately, I liked playing through the story once, but don't feel compelled to look at any other routes--and that's a defining characteristic of a captivating choices matter game for me. I want to know what else could have happened. In this particular case, I'm fine closing the book on this story.

Return to childhood and the art of comics, postcards and lithograph toys. I hope for the promised third story.

It was a fantastic game with a captivating storyline, and the choices were challenging at times. The visuals were beautiful and soothing, while the sounds, such as rivers, cars, and morning ambiance, were very pleasant.
