About
Hell is not a place of fire; it is a mirror of your soul.
The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is a story-driven mystery thriller where you play as a character unraveling a psychological puzzle inspired by Dante Alighieri’s classic work, The Divine Comedy. It offers a strange and thought-provoking take on the original poem.
In The Alighieri Circle, you play as Gabriele Alighieri, an ordinary man burdened by a family history he didn’t choose. Every 33 years, the boundary between our world and Hell weakens. To safeguard his family and the world, Gabriele must perform a dangerous ritual, returning to his family’s villa in Italy and confronting a fate he’s spent his life avoiding.
Key Features
- The Infernal Seal – Gather the lost, magical pages of the Divine Comedy to keep the gates of Hell sealed.
- Dual-Reality Exploration – Alternate between a melancholic Italian manor and “The Dive,” a surreal dimension molded by the psyche.
- Thematic Puzzles – Decipher complex environmental riddles tied to Gabriele’s trauma and the Alighieri legacy.
- A Reimagined Classic – A dark, introspective twist on Dante’s masterpiece, transforming epic poetry into a dreamlike thriller.
The Cycle of the Ritual

- The Dive – Cross the threshold into a distorted reflection of the infernal depths. Navigate the Dark Forest and Outer Hell, where the environment reacts to your internal state.
- The Sacrifice – Complete the purification journey. To seal the gates for another cycle, you must decide what of your humanity you are willing to leave behind in the abyss.
