Hello everyone. I use to be a regular here, allow me to re-introduce myself: I am Alkis from Athens, Greece, an adventure game fan and developer. Some of you may remember my previous titles, Other Worlds (2004) and Diamonds in the Rough (2008). I also made a Greek educational adventure game called Gongbot in 2022.

I'm currently working on a new 3rd person point & click adventure called The Other Side of the Wall. Published by Dionous Games, it's the story of Julian Reed, a 13-year old boy attending Saint Maximus the Confessor Catholic School in the early 1980s. Saint Maximus is an all-boys boarding school that shares a wall with another institution for "troubled cases" called Cedar Tree House. Cedar Tree House is shrouded in mystery, as discussing it is frowned upon by the Benedictine monks who make up most of the teaching staff at Julian's school. There is no contact between the two institutions, at least not as far as the students are concerned.

It's late August, the semester has not even started, and only a few students and faculty members are present when Julian discovers a tiny hole in an isolated corner of the wall separating Saint Maximus from Cedar Tree House. The hole is just big enough for him to see a pair of blue eyes. They belong to a girl who soon becomes his closest confidante.
The opportunity to spend time with a girl -albeit separated by a wall- is a welcome distraction from Julian's routine, but it will not be the only one. One boring morning, during class, he notices that one of his classmates is missing from his usual desk. When Julian asks about him, he is shocked to discover that nobody acknowledges that the student ever existed.

The Other Side of the Wall is more than a whodunit game. It's a coming-of-age story of a boy who stumbles upon a mystery and finds himself in over his head. A story about friendship, curiosity, and the unsettling feeling that something is terribly wrong. This is a game for people who enjoy being challenged with (mostly inventory based) puzzles and being rewarded for paying close attention to subtle clues.

If the above sounds interesting to you, feel free to try our demo and add the game to your Steam wishlist!

I am looking forward to reading your comments.

Hi alkis, it's great to see you here once more and thank you for the link so that we can give your demo a try.

I remember you very well, and I hope all has been okay.

Wow, it's been 18 years since your last post! I don't even want to think about how (relatively) young I was back then!

Thanks alkis21! I don't usually do Demos but the game is on my Wishlist already!
