About This Demo

Demo content

Experience the opening chapter (20-30 minutes) of Nova-box's latest interactive graphic novel After the Wane and get a taste of the characters, the branching dialogs, and the animated dance scenes.

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

Lena is a starry-eyed young dancer with big dreams, but as soon as she sets foot in the capital, she finds herself at the nexus of a lifelong quarrel between Fernand, the elusive director of a community center, and Deborah, who's leading the troupe of a strange and exclusive theatre. Does it have anything to do with her mother, a dancer too, who abandoned her when she was a child?

Torn between her past and her future, Lena will need to rediscover her own nature and forge her path forward as increasingly strange events unfold around her… but the strangest of all might be the permanent commentary of a voice that she seems to be the only one to hear.
