ALPEN GHOUL: Prologue
A downloadable game for Windows
Lost, confused, alone, and hunted. You need to reach the top but a relentless creature bears down on you, and all you have to protect yourself are your wits and skill. You’ll need to try different approaches, honing your strategy as you play—but be careful, mastery of this game leads to discovery, and some things are better left unfound.
Don't find it. Don't let it find you.
It's trying to control you.
You have been warned.

(DEV NOTE IMPORTANT! - This game is a completely different experience from AM. It's much harder and unforgiving when starting out, but it's fun once you master it. Be prepared to die a lot. If you are struggling and don't mind spoilers we have a written guide for you HERE. Good luck!)

怪物会在周围生成，当我把它插在悬崖边上时，它就瞬移了
didnt play the game but boy do I want this monster to grab me and smash me for HOURS
💀
damn nigga
Dear Brocbois, this game was a true masterpiece, sure the enemy ai is OP and broken AF but the gameplay, concept, graphics, the details and the overall experience is awesome! Please make more games quick! I'm super down to play!
whaai why hes kinda cute tho
Very cool and atmosphere, made you feel like you were actually up there.
Ok BrocBois, I need you to drop more games, you guys scare me too much, especially at 21:00
Great game. Top tier dev
BrocBois, I am your fan now!
If you are struggling HERE is a guide you can check out to help. Some quick tips are that it can hear your footsteps, will use sound to track you, and can see the light from your flashlight. Be incredibly cautious when it is close by or use your fast sliding movement to create openings for yourself.
I'm sneaking around without a light. I'm using shortcuts, but the monster is definitely heading towards me. It's not looking for me randomly. I hear his quickening footsteps as I leave the shelter, because he knows when to attack. All things considered, it's a good game. The only downside to a hide-and-seek game is that you can't sneak normally. I think we need to give the monster a conscious zone. So that it's close but doesn't know exactly where to go.
This game is genuinely so scary. Being chased by something that fast made my skin crawl!!
Any support on my video and channel is GREATLY appreciated!
Now this is what I call an action packed horror game!
You have outdone yourselves with this, and here I thought, your first game here on Itch was awesome!
Keep up the good work!
We love when people love ALPEN GHOUL. It's our first game so it's a bit more rough around the edges but I think that helps it pack a punch.
The game is really interesting. The survival horror element is very well done and it took several attempts to get to the end. I'm exploring more for the secrets.
seek out the tapes and play them in the boomboxes. If you get stuck, running back to the cabin again will give you new clues on what to do. Good luck!
At first, I thought it`s gonna be one of the normal horror games I`ve played, but it turned out to be extremely difficult game!
One of the developer of the game guided me when I was streaming, so I could`ve beat the game, and it was SOOOO GREAT!!
If u don`t know how to beat the game, watch my video plz!!
U SHOULD BEAT IT TOO ;)
I played it for a while. I think the chase mechanics are really cool and the environments look really nice, but I had no clue where to go after finding the tape in the cave and I had frequent performance drops.
Also, why in the name of all that is holy is V-sync forced on?
Exploration is key. Try different routes and inch your way to victory. If you want to beat Alpen Ghoul, you’ll have to earn it. It’s one of those games. Your playstyle is up to you, but I recommend staying crouched, keeping your flashlight off, and searching around the mountain slow and safe until you’re more familiar with it. Once you have an idea of what’s out there, crank up the speed and aggressive sliding. Sliding is the fastest way to move.
Beyond this advice I can't help you. It's up to you to pull off a win. The mountain is cruel and there is no easy way to beat it... but it is beatable.
EXCELENTE JUEGO
Game difficulty has been rebalanced to be a bit easier. Good luck and have fun out there on the mountain!
I liked it a lot but it was a bit difficult, although since there have been so many updates, I'm sure that problem must be resolved by now, great job over all :)
Yup the newer versions have been tweaked a bit in the level design and behavior. I also added a safe area at the respawn for collecting your thoughts and relaxing a bit between attempts. It's still pretty difficult, but I was able to get the average death count down to like 10-15 deaths which I think is exactly where I want it. Keeps the monster a threat and getting to the end meaningful, while not feeling too impossible.
This is a great game! But I had such a hard time with it, especially considering I didn't think to read the page before jumping in.
Finally uploaded! lol I didn't expect a 40 minute video to show the TRUE ending, but here we are haha amazing game, amazing job on the game, I loved every second of it! I can't wait to play the full game. Was the golden flashlight necessary for the true ending? lol was wondering if it was just like a trophy? But honestly one of the best indie horrors I've played this year already and it's just the prologue 😁 excited to see where the game goes :)! Thank you for making a banger 😉
You did it! Thank you so much for taking the time to solve the game (it's not much but I subbed lol). Can't wait to watch. The trophies are optional and just for fun.
Thank YOU so much! I really enjoyed and look forward to the full release :) You are a badass game dev and I definitely want to support any way I can!
Awesome playthrough. Looking forward to seeing your reaction the 2nd ending.
Hilarious vid. Sending a 10/10 right back at yah!
Muito bom o jogotop o jogo
I have never screeched so loud. This game was awesome! Love the setting and mechanics, and the monster is VERY persistent. Will be following this one looking forward to a full release later! Great work to everyone involved.
Very dope game!!! But this monster can hear my thoughts and capture me!!! Lol
Now, I'm no dentist, but those chompers could use a once over I feel.
There is a true ending. It has never been seen.
I will find this somehow... 🧐
How many tapes would there be? 🧐 And do I need a specific one playing while I get this true ending?
Nevermind, found the true ending ;)
Did you record it? I HAVE to see your reaction to it!
editing the video today after work! I did NOT expect that at all 😱
check it out
You made R-rated Ski Free!?
Played this game on my twitch and it was hard for me with the way I play these types of games but I loved it. helped having part of the Dev team in chat to help me find my way. Was great meeting you Chelsea!
I LOVED THIS GAME! I honestly can't wait for the full release and hope it will be a challenging and fun experience :) I got one of the endings, somehow haha but I really am looking forward to the full game and will be there on the release ready to play 😎
This game.. was great tbh! I really enjoyed it. Have not finished it because this monster is hard to get past and the different paths are difficult to chose from but man was this game great!
