Story

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 the Hell fades. To protect your family and the world you know, you must perform The Ritual, returning to your ancestral home and accept a destiny you have spent your life running from. In first-person psychological thriller focused on atmosphere, exploration, and story. There is no combat; only the tension of the unknown. Immerse yourself in a dark, modern interpretation of the Divine Comedy, where the Inferno is a shadow waiting to consume you.

What is happening now

The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline is a first-person psychological thriller launching in September 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game reimagines Dante's Divine Comedy through a contemporary lens, exploring the concept of internal torment rather than external damnation - positioning Hell as a psychological state carried within rather than a physical destination. Beyond its literary premise, coverage has been limited ahead of the game's release, with outlets primarily focusing on the core concept and its fresh interpretation of classical source material.
