Hell is not a place of fire; it is a mirror of your soul.
The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is a first-person psychological mystery thriller and narrative adventure that reinterprets Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy as a surreal, introspective experience.
In The Alighieri Circle, you are Gabriele Alighieri. You are not a soldier, nor a hero. Only a man crushed by a legacy you never asked for. Every 33 years, the barrier between our reality and Hell fades. To protect your family and the world you know, you must perform The Ritual, returning to your ancestral Italian villa to accept a destiny you have spent your life running from.

Gather the lost, magical pages of the Divine Comedy to keep the gates of Hell sealed.
