Alice's Lullaby Set for an October 8, 2024, Launch

14 sep, 2024

Ape Law, the innovative studio behind the cult classic Albino Lullaby, announces the October 8, 2024, release of Alice's Lullaby. This latest entry in the psychological horror genre invites players to traverse the eerie and treacherous world of Styx, where time is both ally and adversary. Prepare to tumble through time and unravel the horrific mysteries of the enigmatic Grandchild Cult.

A Twisted Journey Through Time and Trauma

Alice's Lullaby plunges players into a deeply haunting narrative that challenges their grip on reality. The game centers on a perilous mission to rescue young Alice from the clutches of the Grandchild Cult, a group driven by their fanatical zeal to construct a device that can undo their past mistakes and unleash terror upon the world above. As the only "walkling" with the vision to see through their machinations, players must navigate a dark world, journeying between past and future to expose the mysteries hidden within Styx and thwart the cult’s grand ambitions.

“We’ve crafted a narrative that not only terrifies but also delves deep into the psyche,” said Justin Pappas, Creative Director and Founder of Ape Law. “Alice's Lullaby uses horror conventions to explore themes of trauma and perception, inviting players to look closer and find the unsettling answers hidden beneath the surface.”

Key Features of Alice's Lullaby:

• Time-Tumbling Gameplay: Seamlessly travel between past and present,
solving intricate puzzles and altering events to rescue Alice.
• Striking Visual Contrast: Experience a world that is deceptively vibrant on the
surface, yet dark and sinister underneath, capturing the duality of the human
psyche.
• Narrative Depth: Unravel the metaphysical mystery of Styx and the Grandchild
Cult, challenging players to discover why they are perceived as the monster.
• Psychological Horror Elements: Encounter a game that reflects the distorted
reality of trauma, where every corner of the environment tells a part of the story.
• Rich World-Building: Explore the detailed, multi-layered world of Styx, where
every discovery adds depth to the narrative.

A New Chapter in Immersive Horror

Alice's Lullaby signifies a daring leap forward in Ape Law's game design philosophy. By
leveraging time manipulation and a narrative layered with psychological intrigue, the
game promises a unique experience that will leave a lasting impact on players. This isn't
just a continuation of a beloved franchise; it's an invitation to dive deeper into a world
where horror and reality blur.

Wishlist and Availability Information

Alice's Lullaby is available to Wishlist now and set to release on October 8, 2024 for PC.

Alpha build nearing completion!

26 mar, 2023

Esteemed Patrons of Albino Lullaby,

We write to you with a heart full of both excitement and regret. The excitement comes from the fact that we are approaching the completion of the second part of our beloved game. The regret comes from the knowledge that it has been a while since we updated you on the progress of the game, and for that, we are most apologetic.

We are pleased to announce that our alpha build is nearly done, and it includes both gameplay and story elements. We have put forth an effort like no other to make sure that the game's mechanics and the story are engaging and enchanting.

We have decided not to release a demo version of the game. Instead, we have dedicated all our energy and time to the completion of the full game. We think it would be more fitting to have you experience the complete package and not just a small piece of it. We are convinced that Albino Lullaby, Episode 2: Alice's Lullaby, will be worth the wait, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

We know that our development process has taken more time than anticipated, and we are sorry for any discontent or unease that it may have caused. We are most grateful for your support and unwavering confidence in us. It is through your encouragement and enthusiasm that we draw our strength.

We will keep you posted on our progress and keep you in the loop as we reach new milestones. We are excited about sharing the finished product with you, and we hope you are equally as excited to play it.

Warmest Regards,

Justin, and the team at ApeLaw

Latest hotfix / Patchnotes and upcoming support

25 jan, 2017

Hello,

on 24th of January I initially added a new build to the VR testing branch (which is open to anyone wanting to opt into early updates) that I moved to the mainline branch, the patch is regarded as a hotfix and is not a new iterated build so the build number stands as 2.0.0

The hotfix includes:

A recompile that should fix the note pickup issue in VR (where the game would lose frames and flicker into the steam VR home area then back to the game).

A fix to the rooftops area in which some players could not access the tower room for one of the buttons to unlock the matchbox (as reported on the forums and by other users).

Removal of double vision causing 2D text for VR (This will later be replaced by 3D text renders for controls and objective information).

I want to thank everyone for being patient with this and posting these bugs so that I can properly investigate them, so please be sure to let us know if you're still having any issues!

As a friendly reminder there is now a VR Bug Tracking sub discussion board please relay all VR inquiries to that section so they are easier to receive.

---

In tangent to sorting bugs out I can safely say I am working on the addition of possible motion control support (HTC Vive / Steam VR) to go along with more VR complementary additions (3D menu's / additional menu options for VR).

These will be rolled out into the vr testing branch first! not into the mainline as I will be building on the functionality incrementally instead of rolling it out as one big update. This way we can hopefully get feedback as we push things out.

An announcement will be made once that begins starting out basic then as I add more functionality.

Thank you all again and for the continued support as we push to keep improving Albino Lullaby and push into the future of the universe.

Steam VR / Vive Fix and Moving forward

8 dec, 2016

Hello everyone,

For the past few weeks I have been working with the HTC Vive and coordinating with other fans / supporters of the game to correct the current issue with Albino Lullaby’s current Vive and SteamVR Support.

I am excited to announce that Albino Lullaby now has proper Stereo 3D and Positional tracking implementation for Steam VR and the HTC Vive!

However not perfect the core issues are fixed, I am aware of the 3D problems of some of the UI elements (Controls / Objectives), some areas have a noticeable stutter when turning, and some collision / scale quirks. This should not detract from the overall experience however.

To further improve the Albino Lullaby VR support on steam VR and all platforms I have created a new sub discussion for VR Bugs I will ask that all discovered issues and feedback that can be given to directly help VR support for the game are posted there.

There is now a public beta testing branch called VR Testing as well that any owners of the game can opt into. This branch will be the first updated before the official release on the main platform because of this the beta branch may be unstable at times so take some discretion when opting into it.

In addition to this I want to thank the community for all the documentation and support that aided in fixing this problem, it was a long wait and I apologize for the time this took to fix however we can move forward now to continue to support Albino Lullaby as one of the best VR experiences.

I want to thank budwheizzah on steam. He offered allot support and examples toward the current VR problems, his support went a long way to getting proper VR support implemented and allowing us to move forward in making the game better for the platform.

You can check out his youtube channel here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRNkWjdRQsB4XLlNqoab3Vg

Moving forward I will be looking into further improving the steam VR implementation in addition to adding an oculus launch option for those who do not own an Vive.

Thank you all.

-Fixed the darkness engulfing the entrance to Fairday's chamber

-Fixed issues with capture breaking once players land in The Basement.

-Fixed some issues with the player losing the clicker upon death.

-Smoothed out the explosion leading into the long fall.

-Rebuilt lighting

-Added some components that should improve stereo 3D

-Fixed broken blue light in the prison.

-Fixed collision issues on the rotating room.

-Removed some errant meshes in the long fall
