GRIND ALLEY CONCEPT

 

ULEASH A GAME WHERE EVERY MOVE SHAPES A THRILLING ANIMATED SERIES

AR EXPLORATION GAME MEETS EXPERIMENTAL IMMERSIVE TRANSMEDIA NARRTIVES

Grind Alley is an infinite battlefield where a perpetual war has raged since the beginning of time. In this realm, where a million dimensions collide, no living thing can exist. Our mechanical protectors have sworn to defend all known realities.

The forces of good, battle mechs from different worlds, fight against the combined darkness of a million dimensions, known as Nightfall. This evil entity aims to plunge as many realities into darkness as possible.

When hope was nearly lost, an elite squad of mechs discovered a weakness in Nightfall’s defenses. However, before they could strike, Nightfall scattered the mech army across countless dimensions. Now, with the Grind unprotected, the enemy regains its strength.

A small group has found a way to locate the lost mechs by scanning the fabric of space and time. These mechs need to be found, reactivated, and retrained to defend the Grind once more.

Help find the protectors and rebuild the armies.
