Folk Tales: Alageyik PC

Folk Tales: Alageyik tells a dark story inspired by Turkish myths. A hunter who has lost his family shoots a deer during a hunt at sunset. In that moment, darkness takes shape and Erlik appears. This encounter drags him into a night full of nightmares. When he awakens, the Ala Geyik stands before him—calling him to a journey where he must face his past, the loss of his family, and the darkness within himself. The story unfolds as a personal reckoning, where dream and reality intertwine.

Erlik is the ruler of the underworld in Turkic mythology. Once a being tasked with creation, he was punished for defying God. Now, he is the lord of death and darkness; he commands decayed souls and stands as a symbol of forgotten justice.

The Alageyik is a silhouette that appears in the night; neither fully real nor entirely imagined. In Turkish folk tales, it is known as a sacred, mysterious, and untouchable being. In the game, pursuing it is not just a hunt—it is a confrontation with darkness, the past, and destiny.
