AlterNative is the world's first Kanaka Maoli visual novel game!
Like your ancestors before you, you have traversed great distances to find a new home. It is now time to build relationships--not with people, as these novel games would normally entail--but with the Land.
AlterNative projects our indigenous past onto a future setting in the vast depths of space, hoping to teach others about revering and building a relationship with nature while understanding that it is a living ancestor--it is our ʻohana.
In Production: AlterNative - The Choice is Ours
The Narrative: The Land is alive in more ways than one.
Without spoiling the story or giving too much away, with AlterNative, I wanted to impart the audience with one main lesson: that the land is living.
What the player does with that information is up to them, but along the way I hope it incites emotion, thought, and perhaps even a new way to view our current world while gaining an understanding of how many indigenous peoples already see it.
I hope that the prologue will intrigue you enough to want to discover more about this universe and the characters within, but above all I hope it sets you on a voyage of discovery within yourself.
