Across the Grooves is a narrative adventure where you play Alice as her uneventful life is turned upside down when a magical record throws her back into her own past. You play by making choices about her interactions that not only change the past she is visiting by drastically alter the present day. It stands out for the depth of its relational drama that unfolds differently depending on your choices.

Alice has a very normal life. She’s in a long-term relationship, works in a bank and has a comfortable apartment in Bordeaux. However, in this world the real and the magical overlap. She receives a record from Ulysse, her ex-lover, that literally takes her back into her own history. You travel with her and direct the interactions and choices she has as she travels across European cities, meets colourful characters and tries to solve the mystery of what is going on.

As you progress, you try and track down Ulysse as you explore the new parallel realities each time you play the record. What starts as something of a puzzle turns into a journey of self-discovery.

The result is a game that stands out for both its branching narrative structure but also the quality of the hand-drawn visuals and writing. It's a game that you can play many times to see how your decisions impact Alice’s fate (and how she appears) through the multiple story paths and endings.
