I ran a few sessions of Alas a couple of months ago for Gauntlet Hangouts. It was really enjoyable. Very emotional story.

It was SUPER-brief, and I actually had some follow up thoughts on the game after finishing that I never got to go through. In short, I ended up liking the game quite a lot.

I was in Jason’s run of Alas and can confirm that we had a beautiful story woven together.
It was still based on playtest material but already contained the nice addition of Backgrounds to your character (which essentially means you choose from two sets of playbooks each giving you a different angle to your character, for example I was the Lover + Scholar.
I loved to play the Lover. The playbook gives you fantastic Move to test if your love is real which really pushed forward the interpersonal drama. The Scholar then had an opportunity to push for knowledge about the place to be explored, i.e. the extrinsic story.
