Additional information can be found in the following overview:

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.

Befriend alternate versions of yourself, get chased by repressed terrors, collect occult trinkets, and unlock the strange doors blocking your path forward.

Navigate the atmospheric streets of Shiomi’s twisted town: take striking pictures, develop your film roll, and gain enough inspiration to upgrade your camera and uncover the many secrets of this liminal world.

Have a look at a trailer for this one below.
