Drift Alley

Drift Alley is a Southeast Asian cyberpunk world set in a future metaverse inspired by Little India in Singapore. Drawing directly from the spatial illogic of the junction of Clive Street and Weld Road – a psychogeographical vortex with an oddly misaligned structure that confounds both pedestrians and vehicles, players drift through a landscape of old shophouse backalleys teeming with sites of informal exchanges, speculative micro-economies, and fragmented identities in the metaverse. From SideQuest Human Resource Companies, NPC Legal Advice Firms, Auto-Fishing Shops, to Loot Crate Pawnshops. Drift Alley imagines the underbelly of the metaverse – a world of precarious NPCs, griefers, side-hustlers operating at the fringe of visibility, tactically trying to find their place in the virtual and digital economy.

This is a work in progress which will be evolving.
