About After the Wane
After the Wane is an interactive graphic novel from Nova-box, who made Along the Edge and Across the Grooves. Lena arrives in the capital to break into the ruthless world of dance and to find out why her mother, also a dancer, left her at birth.
She is pulled between two sides: Deborah's elite dance company in an uncanny old theatre, and Fernand, who looks after the independent local scene. Then there's the voice in her head, which only she can hear. Every conversation has choices that change Lena's path, her personality and what kind of story it becomes, with three routes to follow.
It came out on Steam on 10 November 2026 for Windows, Mac and Linux, at £11.99. It has mild horror, drinking and smoking, and a sex scene with veiled nudity.
