One night, Shiomi is engulfed by a dark dimension made of familiar streets, hungry shadows, and a cast of girls that look just like her… Help Shiomi return home by taking pictures of unusual sights, surviving unsettling encounters, and reuniting every single fragment of her broken self. SOMBRAS: negative frames is the second game of Maboroshi Artworks, the creators of the award-winning game Last Time I Saw You.
