Get ready to have your heart broken and beautifully mended all over again. Publisher Maximum Entertainment, in partnership with indie developer Polychroma Games, has officially dropped Afterimages—a brand-new, highly anticipated downloadable content expansion for the critically acclaimed, award-winning narrative adventure Until Then.

The DLC is available right now across all major platforms, meaning you can dive back into its stunningly detailed, Philippine-inspired world on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S

Emotional Scars & New Beginnings: What is Afterimages About?

For those who played the base game, Until Then left an indelible mark with its “Overwhelmingly Positive” storytelling, striking pixel-art aesthetics, and bittersweet exploration of adolescence, memory, and trauma. Afterimages promises to deepen that emotional resonance across two brand-new narrative chapters that explore grief and the quiet persistence of life in the wake of loss.

The expansion splits its focus between two beloved central characters navigating their separate journeys forward:

• Sofia returns home, forced to confront the haunting memories and ghosts of the past she thought she left behind.
• Mark finds his world shifting once again as he encounters both a new love interest and a familiar old friend, trying to figure out how to move on while carrying the weight of absence.

Bonus for Physical Collectors: If you prefer keeping your games on a shelf, Maximum Entertainment also revealed that a physical edition of Until Then will launch on 3 September. This physical release will handily include both the base game and the Afterimages DLC on one disc/cartridge!

New Minigames and Phone Features

It wouldn’t be Until Then without some incredibly immersive, everyday slice-of-life mechanics. Alongside the heavy emotional narrative, Afterimages introduces a variety of fresh interactive activities and expanded features to play with:

• Fresh Interactive Minigames: Tap into the mystical with all-new tarot reading mechanics, or clear your mind with a cosy baking minigame.
• Upgraded In-Game Phone: Mark’s smartphone features have been expanded significantly, allowing players to scroll through newly integrated dating apps and dedicated video platforms that flesh out the game’s modern, digital world.
• Familiar & New Faces: Reconnect with the original cast you fell in love with while crossing paths with entirely new characters.

Whether you’re looking to dive straight back into the digital trauma on Steam and consoles today, or holding out for the physical release this September, Afterimages is a must-play companion to one of the finest modern narrative adventures in recent memory.

Until Then: Afterimages is available now for $4.99 / £3.99 on your digital storefront of choice.
