JanduSoft is pleased to announce that Dark Alley, a new detective adventure developed by solo developer CheesecakeGames, is out today on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox, featuring Xbox Play Anywhere support, allowing you to continue your investigation on either your console or PC.
 
In Dark Alley, you'll step into the shoes of Detective Thomas Bennett, who has been sent to Kyoto to investigate the disappearance of British detective Edward Hale. What initially seemed like a straightforward case soon turns into a nightmare. From the quiet temples and narrow streets of Gion to hidden clubs and traditional ryokans, Bennett must follow a trail of clues pointing directly to the Yakuza… although there's much more to this case than meets the eye.

This new investigation will take Bennett
to dangerous places. Watch your back, detective.
 
Dark Alley is a cinematic detective adventure focused on exploration, observation, and storytelling. Getting to know the different characters and forming alliances will be crucial to figuring out who you can trust as you explore Kyoto.
