After the Wane

Hello everyone, After the Wane is finally here! 17

• – You can now immerse yourself in this world of dance and the occult, a story crafted with love and passion. For nearly three years, we poured our hearts, working on it relentlessly, and today we are so proud to share the result with you. The game features three major endings, three life paths, three possible romance outcomes (but you can also choose to stay single of course), plenty of secrets, multiple variations of our main character Lena, over 2,000 illustrations, nearly 30 rotoscoped scenes, and an original soundtrack spanning more than three hours...
• – In short, as you can see, this is our most ambitious and content-rich game to date. At the same time, we wanted to keep it welcoming and accessible to as many players as possible, so the price remains the exact same as for our previous games.
• – If you would like to support us, you can also pick up the original soundtrack, available on its own or as a bundle with the game. The musical score crafted by Illustrason for this title is truly something special, if not outright breathtaking. In particular, you’ll hear our wonderful collaboration with Marianne (LittleBigWhale), who made us the honour of lending her extraordinary voice for the game!
• – We know many of you were hoping for an artbook. With our small indie means, we unfortunately didn't have the time to make it available right for launch. But please know that we are actively working on it, and we will release it on Steam next year, most likely around the release of the Switch version, which will be announced soon.
• – If you haven't seen it yet, here is our brand-new launch trailer, out today to celebrate the release!
• – To wrap up this little launch post, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every moment shared together throughout the development of After the Wane. Whether on our Discord or across our social channels, your kind and loving words have meant the world to our team.
• – Please don't forget to leave a Steam review if you play, it helps a small studio more than you could ever imagine. Our greatest strength has always been you, our community. If you’d like to help us keep this journey going, please tell your friends, loved ones, and favorite streamers about the game.
• – Take good care of yourselves, and see you very soon!
