Visually, Back-Alley Tales leans heavily into a lo-fi aesthetic. Character sprites are low-resolution, reminiscent of early 2000s PC-98 games, but with modern, moody lighting effects. The titular alley is the same static background each time—chipped brick, a flickering fluorescent tube, a stray cat—yet subtle changes (a new stain, a different shadow, a forgotten umbrella) hint at the passage of time between tales.
End.
