About
SOMBRAS: negative frames is a nostalgic narrative game with light horror elements and an engaging photography system exploring themes of youth, art, mixed identity, and dysfunctional family systems. Shiomi Alterio, a Japanese-Spanish photography student, lives with her father in a quaint Japanese town after her parents’ recent divorce, far from the life in Europe she was forced to leave behind. 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.
