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.

 

 

  • Choose your destiny: align with an elitist dance company, mingle with everyone and help young dancers in the local community center, or stay independent while cultivating your interest in the occult.

  • Navigate the complexities of a budding love life: caught between a demanding vocation and multiple suitors, Lena will have a hard time balancing both. Will you focus on your dancing career, or do everything it takes to make your relationship succeed?

  • Dance animations: experience several dance scenes throughout the story, all animated by hand in rotoscoping.

  • A hand-crafted adventure: with each playthrough, discover a novel-sized adventure and a slice of the hundreds of hand-drawn images created for the game.

  • Immersive and finely crafted soundtrack: the music, specially composed and recorded for the game, adapts and shifts according to your choices and the mood of each scene.

  • High replayability: discover the outcome of your decisions through multiple story paths and endings.
