Until Then

Until Then is more than a narrative game. It’s a journey of growing up in a post-apocalyptic world where your memories, friendships, and choices can change everything. As Mark Borja, a typical high school student, you’ll relive every moment of your teenage years: from your familiar bedroom, piano lessons, homework deadlines, to your first crush. But then, a fateful event strikes, disrupting your entire life, making the most ordinary things more uncertain and fragile than ever.

A living world that reflects you

The game guides players through social networks, emails, and text messages – seemingly ordinary tools that are full of clues and profound effects. You don’t just chat with friends, you also reflect on yourself through every choice. Every reply, every like, or every comment can lead to unpredictable consequences. Each character is there not only to connect with you, but also to remind you of the complexity and beauty of being human in the face of change.

Emotional slices of youth

Until Then is not afraid to explore big themes: love, loss, maturity, and redemption. You will have the power to decide who Mark will love, who will stay by your side, and sometimes – be forced to let someone go. The honesty in the dialogue, the raw emotions of adolescence, and the ability to stumble and rise again are what make this journey so relatable. You are not a hero, just a teenager learning to be yourself.

A cinematic and local experience

Hand-drawn pixel art combined with 3D space and cinematic lighting effects create a world that is both dreamlike and real. The spaces are inspired by the Philippines – from the bustling streets to the peaceful coastal towns – giving depth to the personalized story. Each setting, prop, and character is imbued with local flavor, making the experience unique and full of identity.

Minigames – small memories

Amidst emotional twists, you can still laugh at a minigame of plugging in a USB the wrong way, fighting over food with friends, or timing to pay for a jeepney. The minigames are like pieces of everyday life – gentle, repetitive, sometimes silly – but they are the soul of school memories that Until Then recreates so well.

Until Then is a love letter to youth: awkward, confusing, emotional, but also very beautiful. On Nintendo Switch, the game offers a profound journey of loss, hope, and the journey of finding yourself. If you have ever missed someone, been lost in memories, or wondered what you could have done differently, this is the game for you. Before everything is over, live life to the fullest – until…
