Game Summary

If you look down the wrong alley in the middle of the night, you may see something happening which is terrible, inexplicable, alien. If you are like most, you will keep driving and try to forget what you've seen.

Yet some pain or hunger inside you may drive you to turn back, to try to gain another glimpse. You may spend sleepless nights peering down dark alleys, reading heretical texts, performing strange rituals, exploring abandoned places, trying to grasp the sensations that squirm at the back of your mind. Along the way you will discover that you are developing incredible and dangerous powers.

And there will come a day when you catch a glimpse of something that sees you looking at it, that realizes that you know things that you're not supposed to know. And without a word it will rush at you…
  • Play 'the Touched,' people who have peeked behind the curtain of this reality, people who have incredible powers but are in terrible danger.
  • A unique, fully detailed horror cosmology.
  • A detailed look at supernatural and mundane Los Angeles as a default campaign setting.
  • Two complete introductory adventures.
  • Fan Rewards: Get free stuff just by playing.

Rating User Summary
3 + 5Dirk Vandereyken. In Dark Alleys is a superb horror role-playing game which spends a lot of attention to psychology, an excellent rules system and a unique atmosphere.
5 + 5kafka. A cerebral and visceral horror RPG that knocks the competition out of the field, yet, at the same time there are dark homages made to them. Either one’s game is going to get better from reading and becoming more twisted by exploring the murkier and sinister parts of the human psyche combined with an original mythology or they are going delve and play In Dark Alleys and leave profoundly disturbed – for this is a game that makes you question everything. There are only darker shades of grey here. And, it is designed for serious role, not, roll players.
