Until Then takes you to a world recovering from a disaster, where Mark Borja and his group of friends are going through a year of high school, filled with all the joys, sorrows, and everyday uncertainties. You will start a new day in a familiar bedroom, practicing piano, rushing to complete homework, chatting with friends, and building relationships – sometimes beautiful, sometimes fragile. However, a fateful encounter sets off a series of mysterious events, causing people to disappear and memories to become shaky. From here, Mark’s journey to discover the truth begins, before it’s too late.
An emotional personal journey
Players will interact with a diverse cast of characters through live chats, text messages, and emails. You can learn about each person’s personal story, experience relationships from close to distant, and make decisions that will affect the whole journey. Will Mark stand up for his friends when they need him, or will he accidentally let them down? Those choices will shape who he becomes throughout the story.
Explore the world through technology and everyday life
The smartphone in the game is a window into countless details: social networks, emails, news, and websites all contain clues that help you understand the world around you. Likes or comments that seem harmless can also have unexpected consequences. In addition, minigames such as plugging in a USB drive “right the first time” or fighting over food with friends will bring humorous moments of everyday life to life.
Cinematic pixel art
Until Then is presented with exquisite hand-drawn pixel graphics, combining light, shadow, and reflection effects in a 3D environment, creating a space that is both intimate and emotional. The warm, sometimes melancholy soundtrack guides players through both joyful and somber moments.
A world inspired by the Philippines
The game’s setting recreates a fictional version of the Philippines, from bustling cities to peaceful coastal towns, from colorful jeepney rides to vast fields. Every detail of the interior and scenery reflects the culture, lifestyle and breath of this land, making the journey both strange and familiar.
Until Then is an emotional narrative adventure where you both discover a touching school story and embark on a journey of investigating a mysterious and humane story. On Nintendo Switch, this is an experience for those who love deep and meaningful stories.
