Dark Alley, the cinematic detective adventure from solo developer CheesecakeGames and publisher JanduSoft, is out today on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox, with Xbox Play Anywhere support so the investigation can continue on console or PC.

Step into 2012 Kyoto and follow the clues behind a disappearance that hides far more than meets the eye.

In Kyoto, every alley hides a story. And some are better left undiscovered.

JanduSoft is pleased to announce that Dark Alley, a new detective adventure developed by solo developer CheesecakeGames, is out today on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox, featuring Xbox Play Anywhere support, allowing you to continue your investigation on either your console or PC.

In Dark Alley, you’ll step into the shoes of Detective Thomas Bennett, who has been sent to Kyoto to investigate the disappearance of British detective Edward Hale. What initially seemed like a straightforward case soon turns into a nightmare. From the quiet temples and narrow streets of Gion to hidden clubs and traditional ryokans, Bennett must follow a trail of clues pointing directly to the Yakuza… although there’s much more to this case than meets the eye.

This new investigation will take Bennett to dangerous places. Watch your back, detective.

Dark Alley is a cinematic detective adventure focused on exploration, observation, and storytelling. Getting to know the different characters and forming alliances will be crucial to figuring out who you can trust as you explore Kyoto.

Detective Thomas Bennett thought this would be a simple walk in the park but every investigation hides more than meets the eye.

A variety of characters await in this new adventure. Getting to know them will be essential to gathering information.

Observe, listen, and ask uncomfortable questions. That’s how Detective Bennett gets the job done.
