Ever wondered what’s going on in the background of your favorite video games, behind all the moving pictures and pretty sounds? A new Flash game from Jonas Kyratzes titled Alphaland answers that very question by placing players in a rough Alpha version of a minimalist platformer, and then placing them deep within said Alpha’s metaphysical guts.

If it sounds confusing … well, that’s because it is. But it’s also pretty short, and pretty sad, and pretty pretty. If you’ve got a few minutes, give it a play over at Newgrounds!
