Alumni — A Puzzle Journey Through College Days
Alumni is a puzzle-driven adventure made for macOS that puts you in the role of a scientist suddenly sent back to their college years. The game leans on nostalgia, placing you in familiar campus locations and asking you to solve layered puzzles as you retrace past experiences. As you move through dorms, lecture halls, and quad spaces, recovered memories shape both the story and the puzzles you face.
How the Game Plays
The core loop centers on exploration and interaction. You examine objects, manipulate environmental elements, and piece together clues to unlock new sections of the campus. Progression depends on applying logic, pattern recognition, and occasional creative thinking to bypass obstacles and reach the present again. The narrative unfolds gradually as you solve challenges and reconstruct the protagonist’s recollections.
