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.
- 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?
- Love, passion, and sacrifice: between the pressure of auditions, fragile friendships, and several possible romantic interests, everything has a price.
- A story with deep branching paths: multiple narrative routes and radically different endings.
- The art of rotoscoping: animated scenes, entirely drawn frame by frame.
- A comic book that comes alive: hundreds of original illustrations, painted without any generative AI prompt.
- An ever-evolving orchestral soundtrack: composed and recorded specially for the game with real instruments, reacting dynamically to your decisions.
