Press release:
Walnut Creek, Calif –(April 25, 2023).
The Walnut Creek-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Modus Games and Shanghai-based (China) indie games developer Aurogon Shanghai, are today very glad and thrilled to announce that their marvelous hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania/RPG “Afterimage”, is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores.

Afterimage combines its dazzling, hand-drawn aesthetic with deep RPG elements and a Metroidvania-like world to challenge its players to explore and traverse the land of Engardin as they build their character in any way they see fit. Explore treacherous environments, defeat challenging bosses and uncover the secrets holding Engardin and its various inhabitants together. Afterimage is available now: https://afterimagegame.com

Set years after “The Razing,” a cataclysm that pushed humanity to its brink, human settlements are once again under attack by mystic forces. Players fill the shoes of Renee, an amnesiac who leaves her destroyed village to find the truth behind these strange attacks. On the way however, they’ll find the truth behind the disaster that started this story, and eventually shape the future itself by learning lessons from the past.

The non-linear world of Engardin allows players to explore at their own pace. With over 200 pieces of equipment to collect, six different weapon classes to master and talent points to invest in multiple diverse skills, Afterimage allows players to take control of their own journey.
