ALT CITY is an online open-world game. The action takes place in a present-day American city located on the East Coast. The player can choose who they want to be — an influential gangster with their own gang, the chief police officer of this state, or a successful businessman. In the open world, the player can see other players and interact with them — chat, ride together on vehicles, or engage in shootouts. The main goal of the game is self-realization, to achieve heights in the chosen path, and to buy luxurious real estate, cool cars, and branded clothes, so that everyone around can see how cool you are.
