Aruma Studios, co-founded by Silvia Izquierdo and Rubén López, today revealed their second full-length adventure game. Shadows of the Afterland is a supernatural comedy adventure that takes players on an enchanting journey through the realms of the living and the afterlife. Set in 1960 Madrid, the game tells the story of a soul who arrives with the memories of Carolina, a pioneer of the Madrid police force who, shockingly, hasn’t even been born yet.

As players step into Carolina’s shoes, they’ll be able to use magic, switch between worlds and take possession of the living to solve clever and logically sound puzzles that are closely interwoven with the storyline. A quest that will eventually require confronting the sinister forces that haunt the world of the living.

Developed and published by Aruma Studios, Shadows of the Afterland is a supernatural comedy adventure about identity, courage and destiny. You can’t remember your death; you haven’t even been born yet. In this point-and-click adventure, you’ll switch between worlds and take possession of the living to unearth your haunting past. You’ll have to confront sinister forces to find out if you are merely a pawn of fate or if you can change your own future.
