If you love your adventure games be sure to check out Shadows of the Afterland, with a new fully voiced demo available to try in Steam Next Fest.

Developed and published by Aruma Studios, Shadows of the Afterland is a supernatural comedy adventure about identity, courage and destiny. You can’t remember your death; you haven’t even been born yet. In this point-and-click adventure, you'll switch between worlds and take possession of the living to unearth your haunting past. You'll have to confront sinister forces to find out if you are merely a pawn of fate or if you can change your own future.

From the press release: “Adding voice acting has been a dream since the project's inception,” said Rubén López, the story and puzzle designer. “Hearing our characters speak for the first time transformed the experience, adding a layer of immersion that we're incredibly proud of.”

“The voice performances beautifully complement the pixel art, animations, and atmospheric soundtrack our team has crafted,” added Silvia Izquierdo, who oversees production. “We can't wait for players to experience this new dimension of Shadows of the Afterland during Next Fest.”
