'Alaska' is an adventure game developed by Orion Moon, the one man behind the indie studio at 'Wreck Tangle Games'. The game gives players a week in the life of an Alaskan man who lives in a small town high up in the mountains. The town consists of 5 families, living in their own way, providing for themselves and for their neighbours. They all fish together on the rivers, skate together on frozen lakes, share their hunting trophies and enjoy each others company...

But their day to day life is about to change, when a body is discovered, murdered on the town's airstrip...

Who do you trust now?

After getting some advise from the local mail man, Blake decides to spend time with all his Neighbors in hopes that this will help him out of the difficult times he is facing.. The next few days are filled with fishing and ice skating, among other fun activities Blake's Neighbors introduce to him to try and help him out... This comes to an abrupt end though in the second half of Alaska when a body is discovered, murdered on the town's airstrip.

Those Neighbors that you have become so close to...

One of them could be hiding a dark secret, and could be after you next!

MUSIC

Alaska’s soundtrack is full of wonder and curiosity for the first half of the game, but as things start to get tenser, as the atmosphere changes, the music changes with it. The high notes of the piano, so whimsical, start to get lower and darker in tone.
