Description
Alltale is a sibling-run game studio in Brisbane, Australia. Three of us, each with our own stories to tell, making them together. Our first game is Split Black, a 2.5D cyberpunk ninja sidescroller where speed is the weapon.
History
Alltale was founded in 2025 by three siblings in Brisbane who had been making games, animation and music together for years. The studio's first project, Split Black, began as a solo Unreal Engine 5 prototype in early 2025 and grew into the team's first full game. Every Alltale project is set in one shared fictional universe.

Description
A 2.5D cyberpunk ninja sidescroller where speed is the weapon. Play a ninja who never stops moving through a city that never turns off. Momentum fills your meter, your meter feeds your attacks, and standing still is how you lose.
You play Black, a ninja who does not speak. The clone who follows him around does, loudly and mostly to people who wish he would stop. Something is wrong inside Black's head, and the game shows it in how the city reads to you rather than telling you in a cutscene.
Split Black is a directed four-to-twelve-hour run through a neon city, built around three ways to play that hand off to each other as the story moves.
Features
- Momentum combat: speed fills a meter that powers every attack, so the fastest route through a room is also the deadliest.
- A three-hit combo that never plants your feet, blended over a running animation.
- Shuriken-teleport: throw, then blink to where it lands.
- Three modes of play, Runner, Platformer and Story, that hand off to each other as the game moves.
- A silent protagonist and a clone who will not stop talking for him.
- A directed four-to-twelve-hour run, built in Unreal Engine 5 by a three-person team.
