Today’s news was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing the intricate, pixel-art world of Until Then. Beyond the beautiful landscapes, though, lies something else. Disappearances, moments of déjà vu that just don’t add up, and other abnormalities await.

Until Then is a side-scrolling, cinematic adventure game that tells a strange and intriguing story of inquisitive high school students living in a fractured existence. Players explore and navigate various everyday environments inspired by real-world locations in the Philippines. You’ll explore a lush, stunning pixel art environment in the shoes of high-schooler Mark Borja. Through his life, you’ll explore the trials of any normal teenager: school, piano practice, friends… but something isn’t right. A twist of fate that will change Mark’s life is looming just beneath the surface. Can you weave through the mysteries before all is lost?

Through your journey you’ll meet vibrant, relatable peers navigating their own lives, explore the world around you through everyday technology and play seemingly mundane minigames you won’t want to put down. Until Then is wrapped in a jaw-dropping cinematic pixel art style and set to a soundtrack that brings the world to life in unexpected ways.

Until Then definitely reminds us of last year’s A Space For The Unbound by Indonesian developer Mojiken Studio. Will this be this year’s A Space For The Unbound (check out our full review here)? We’ll have to wait and see.
