What kind of game is City God Alice?
City God Alice is a 2D side-scrolling RPG that blends:
Dark Eastern-style exploration & puzzle-solving
Turn-based combat with horizontal positioning & psychological interference
Temple management, random events, and character-bond strategy systems
Whether you enjoy story, atmosphere, combat, or strategy,
City God Alice offers a unique supernatural experience.
Story Overview
The story takes place in the ancient mountain temple city Jiantan Mountain City.
As a child, Lin Chengdong signed a mysterious spiritual contract with the City God.
The contract erased his memory of the deal and sealed his fate—
he will die at age 21 and serve as a spiritual officer afterward.
Years later, with his final year approaching, an unexpected visitor appears:
Alice — the acting City God.
She offers him cooperation, but her request is shocking:
She wants Lin Chengdong to give up his remaining year of life and take office immediately.
As mysteries, vengeful spirits, and century-old grudges intertwine,
your choices will determine his fate — and the fate of the entire mountain city.
This is the inner world of someone you care about — and your dungeon
Inside the Yuan-Chen Palace, a hallucination-ridden mental landscape:
Enemies born from resentment & inner demons
Obstacles formed from obsession
Clues shaped by precious memories
A world both real and unreal — dangerous and beautiful.
Turn-Based Combat × Horizontal Positioning × SAN (Sanity) System
Combat blends strategy and psychological tension:
Positioning lets you dodge lethal supernatural attacks
Spirit-descending buffs & ally cover help you survive
The lower your SAN, the more unstable your abilities become
Breakdown may even cause self-inflicted backlash
Mind and tactics are equally important.
Only the sane survive.
Temple Life: Management × Bonds × Events
Between battles, return to your City God Temple:
Handle daily affairs & stroll events → Gain reputation
Bond with yokai officers → Unlock exclusive chapters
Upgrade facilities, build puppets & allocate resources
Watch how the “temple keeper” turns the supernatural into daily routine.
Whether you come for the story, the atmosphere, the combat, or the strategy,
CityGod Alice offers a supernatural RPG experience unlike any other.
We sincerely invite you to join us.
