About This Game

The new interactive graphic novel by the creators of Along the Edge and Across the Grooves.

When Lena arrives in the capital, her objectives are clear: to take her place in the ruthless world of dance and to understand why her mother, also a dancer, abandoned her at birth. However, her arrival pitches her into a rivalry between two opposing worlds: on one side, Deborah and her elitist dance company entrenched within a theater with an uncanny atmosphere. On the other, Fernand, an enigmatic figure who watches over the fiercely independent local scene.

As Lena digs into the silence around her heritage, cracks begin to form in her reality. Coincidences become troubling, the strange becomes a part of daily life… and on the top of everything, there's this voice. A presence lodged in her mind, that only Lena can hear. A presence that's no longer content to simply observe.

In After the Wane, each dialog offers choices that redefine Lena's trajectory, her personality, and
even the nature of her story itself:

• Three paths, three realities: submit to the ferocious discipline of a prestigious dance company, find your tribe in the heart of a wholesome collective, or follow your own path by diving into the occult.

• Cooperate with or resist the mysterious voice: is this presence in Lena's mind a protective ally, a buried secret, or an ancient and dangerous entity? The way you interact with them will change your perspective on the plot.

• Love, passion, and sacrifice: between the pressure of auditions, fragile friendships, and several possible romantic interests, everything has a price. Will you sacrifice your loved ones on the altar of your art or will you let your feelings redefine your priorities?

• A story with deep branching paths: with multiple narrative routes and radically different endings, one game won't be enough to reveal all the mysteries of the story. Try again to unlock all the achievements and see all the endings of the game.

• The art of rotoscoping: feel the physical and emotional intensity of the choreographies thanks to
  animated scenes, entirely drawn frame by frame.

• A comic book that comes alive: dive into hundreds of original illustrations, painted without any
  generative AI prompt, where every setting and every character expression tells a story.

• An ever-evolving orchestral soundtrack: composed and recorded specially for the game with real
  instruments, the music reacts dynamically to your decisions.
