About Alaris
Alaris thrusts players into a world where magic, Fae, and dragons intersect with a rising global crisis. You create a protagonist, select pronouns, name, and four personality traits that shape how characters respond.
The game blends adventure, casual simulation, and indie storytelling, offering free‑time dates, a special Energy Vision ability, and a cast of distinct love interests. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, supports mouse‑only play, and includes Steam features such as achievements, cloud saves, and family sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Customizable Protagonist
Players begin by naming their character, choosing pronouns, and assigning four personality traits: Bravery, Kindness, Wisdom, and Charisma. These traits influence how the world reacts to you, affecting dialogue and interactions.
The customization is limited to these options; no further skill trees or combat abilities are described. Your choices remain consistent throughout the single‑player experience.
- Experiment with different trait combinations to see varied NPC responses.
- Note how a high Charisma setting may change the tone of conversations.
02 / THE GUIDE
Free‑Time Dates with Love Interests
The game offers four locations for free‑time dates, allowing you to spend time with any of the listed love interests. Dates can be repeated, letting characters woo you multiple times.
Each love interest is described with a brief personality line, such as the Enchanting Prodigy’s curiosity or the Haunted Protector’s silence, giving context for role‑play.
- Try dating each character to compare their dialogue styles.
- Revisiting dates lets you experience the same wooing scenes again.

03 / THE GUIDE
Energy Vision Ability
Energy Vision lets the protagonist see auras around cast members, offering a visual cue to their emotional or magical state. It is presented as one of the protagonist's special abilities.
The feature is presented as a way to gain insight, not as a combat mechanic or puzzle solution.
- Activate Energy Vision before conversations to anticipate character moods.
- Observe how aura colors differ between the Selfless Martyr and the Shadowed Soldier.

Content Warnings
Alaris includes mild violence, kidnapping, stalking, and mildly suggestive language. Visual effects such as bouncing text, camera shakes, and flashes are also present, alongside loud sound effects like thunder.
These warnings advise player discretion, indicating that the experience may be intense for sensitive audiences.
- Adjust volume controls if loud thunder effects are uncomfortable.
- Consider playing in a well‑lit environment to reduce impact of flashing text.

Platform Support and Quality‑of‑Life Features
Alaris runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, offering a mouse‑only option and custom volume controls. Players can save at any time, and the game lists Steam Cloud and Family Sharing among its Steam features.
Steam achievements are available, but the game remains single‑player, meaning no online multiplayer components are required.
- Steam Cloud is listed as a feature if you want cloud support for your playthrough.
- Use the custom volume sliders to balance music and sound effects to your preference.
