Our take on AR-K

The point-and-click, episode-based format keeps attention on Alicia’s investigation, but gives up action-oriented mechanics and broader gameplay variety in favor of story progression and puzzle-led discovery.

What is AR-K?

AR-K is a point-and-click adventure centered on Alicia Van Volish, a former police officer who now studies journalism.

After waking from a one-night stand with a hangover and unanswered questions, Alicia investigates the identity of her companion, her missing memories, and a mysterious golden sphere linked to her troubles. The game combines mystery, humor, and suspense with a 3D-animated presentation. This pack contains the first two episodes: Gone With The Sphere and The Girl Who Wasn't There. A third episode, The Great Escape, is also available separately on Steam.
