Supernatural Mystery Shadows of the Afterland Summons a Fully Voiced Demo for Steam Next Fest
Aruma Studios, the creators of the highly-rated point-and-click adventure Intruder in Antiquonia, announced today that its upcoming supernatural mystery, Shadows of the Afterland, will debut a brand-new, fully voiced demo during Steam Next Fest, running from October 13-20, 2025.
With the addition of professional voice over, the game's rich cast of characters and witty dialogue now resonate with a new level of personality and emotion. The demo immerses players in a 1960s Madrid, where they will unravel the central mystery: the story of a soul bearing the memories of Carolina, a woman who perplexingly has yet to be born.
“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.”
