Hello TWaldVR and sorry for the late reply. Along the Edge is already available in German, thanks to an incredible and dedicated member of our community who made a great fan translation. Best regards, ~Geoffroy.

Hello hapaj11! Yes, it's in the works, stay tuned. We're the first to be sorry that takes this long, but we have to split our very limited resources between this and completing our next game. Thank you for your patience and best regards, ~Geoffroy.

Hello everyone!

I’m Antonio, Marketing Manager at Nova-box. On August 15th, I am launching the "Deeply Moving Stories" Bundle on Itch.io for a 15-day run. This curated collection aims to bring together the absolute best of touching, profound, and emotionally high-impact visual novels.

Here are the details:

• Pricing: Each participating game will contribute €2 to the total bundle value. The final price of the bundle will simply depend on how many games join the line-up!

• Goal: Cross-promote each other's work to reach new players who love deep, character-driven storytelling.

How to join:

If you want to feature your game(s) and help promote the event, please leave a comment below with:

• Your game's name (and Itch link)

• Your Discord username (so I can easily coordinate everything and add you to the group)

I really hope we can build a fantastic lineup together. Let's make this a huge success for the indie visual novel community!

Looking forward to reading your submissions!

Okay thank you!

Hi there, my name is Antonio. I work at Nova-box, we’ve released five visual novels, and I’m currently working on our next one, called After the Wane (you can try out the demo and see what kind of game we make and I market). 

I handle marketing and communications at the studio, so if you’d like some advice on how to sell a visual novel, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to post any questions in the comments, and I’ll reply! We’ve released our games on Itch.io, Steam, GOG, and Nintendo Switch. 

You can ask me anything!

Dance, love, secrets, and croissants in Paris! 

After the Wane: https://nova-box.itch.io/afterthewane-demo

Retracing the footsteps of a mother she never knew, Lena’s trying to make it as a dancer in the city. Caught in a quarrel between dance companies, dealing with love and heartbreak and the challenges of young adulthood, she must also cope with the voice in her head commenting on everything she does.

• Choose your destiny: align with an elitist dance company, mingle with everyone and help young dancers in the local community center, or stay independent while cultivating your interest in the occult.
• Navigate the complexities of a budding love life: caught between a demanding vocation and multiple suitors, Lena will have a hard time balancing both. Will you focus on your dancing career, or do everything it takes to make your relationship succeed?
• Dance animations: experience several dance scenes throughout the story, all animated by hand in rotoscoping.
• A hand-crafted adventure: with each playthrough, discover a novel-sized adventure and a slice of the hundreds of hand-drawn images created for the game.
• Immersive and finely crafted soundtrack: the music, specially composed and recorded for the game, adapts and shifts according to your choices and the mood of each scene.
• High replayability: discover the outcome of your decisions through multiple story paths and endings.

The demo is out now! (45 mins) with a big update!!! 
French & English!
If you enjoyed, leave a comment!! <3 

Hello mterme! We indeed made an emergency patch on Steam, but unfortunately we can't apply the same patch on DRM-free versions of the game. 

We're currently updating all our games properly to a newer version of Unity which will include the hotfix, but we're a small team and that takes more time than we would have hoped, as we also have to focus on our next game and its specific deadlines. 

We'll update our builds on every platform when they're ready and we apologize for the delay. 

~Geoffroy

Very cute and good game. Congrats for the work!

Yes! Thanks for asking! It's in the works, but it will come a bit later, I'm afraid. 

The plan is to upgrade all our catalog to Unity 6, rebuild all versions and update the packages here (and everywhere else). 

We're doing our best, but we're a very small team. From what I understand, since our DRM-Free versions are signed/notarized, we can't patch the games directly, we need to rebuild them from scratch, which is not a quick endeavour.

Thank you and kind regards, ~Geoffroy.

Very choupi! <3

Everyone can play and enjoy the story 

Hi, no demo for Along the Edge but we have demos for our other games! Have fun :) You also can subscribe our newsletter here

Great news! 🎉 Congrats mon poto! ❤️ ~Geoffroy.

Yes, single is the third romantic option. ~Geoffroy.

Hello AbdelStrife! Updates 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 were Steam Deck related, so you won't notice any difference between itch.io and Steam version if you don't plan to play on the device. Hope it helps. Best, ~Geoffroy.

It's no released yet, still in development. It will come out later this year.

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed our games. Our next game promises to be a bit different, but if all goes according to plan, the one after that should be the next title in the ATE/ATG series. ;) Stay tuned! ~Geoffroy.

Glad to read this! Thanks for the feedback. ~Geoffroy.

Hello PublicLewdness,

sorry for the late reply. Our latest patch, "v2.0.0", should improve  Linux compatibility greatly. I hope that upgrading the game will solve your issue!

Have a great day,

Geoffroy.

Thanks a lot for your kind words. It means a lot to us. :) ~Geoffroy.

Hi! We've indeed made the switch to Unity with this game. ~Geoffroy.

This game will definitely be more akin to Along the Edge than to Seers Isle. I'm sorry to hear you enjoyed one more than the other, but I certainly hope you will give us another chance to win you over! ~Geoffroy.

We support only Windows 7 and later.

Sorry,

Geoffroy.

You're welcome!

We totally align with DRM-Free philosophy and we keep itch.io close to our heart, so it was really a no brainer.

Geoffroy.

Hello TheCatLady!

Glad to hear you enjoyed Seers Isle. :)

Actually, chances are that Seers Isle OST is already available on the streaming platform of your choice. You can also buy a copy of the digital album from Bandcamp. Here's a handy link that will lead you to the album page on the most popular streaming services:

Thanks!

Geoffroy.

Both! The focus changes from a group narrative to the "horned lady" about halfway into the game.

And once again, this game is quite light on the romance (maybe even lighter than Along the Edge).

Thanks for your interest!

Best,

Geoffroy.

Thank you! :)

Oh! Thanks for the heads up, I'll change that ASAP! :)

Thank you! <3

Hello dana_scully,

I don't know what went wrong. I've re-uploaded the Mac version and it seems to work now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

Geoffroy.

Yes, the game will also be released on Steam.

Thanks for your kind words! <3

Thanks for your enthusiasm! <3

Geoffroy.

We're quite eager to release it too ! :)

Still a lot of work to be done though before it's ready.

Geoffroy.

Hello Violette !

Thanks for your enthusiasm :)

We've been thinking about doing an artbook for a while, but it's a lot of work if you want to do it right. It's not in our list of priorities right now, but it's something we might consider doing at some point, in the future. Meanwhile, if you're interested in our work in its physical form, we have a couple of art prints available on Society 6 ;) : https://society6.com/novabox

Best,

Geoffroy.

Hello Megan,

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.  We'll be taking a look at what might be going wrong ASAP.

In the mean time, you can try to download the game directly form the itch.io website or redeem your complementary Steam CD-Key to get the game from the Steam client.

Best regards,

Geoffroy.

Thanks a lot for your nice comment! Glad you enjoyed Along the Edge.

If you want to keep in touch with our next project you can follow us on social networks. ;)

Geoffroy.

Bonsoir Leanhl,

désolé pour le désagrément. Je viens de tester le .zip, tout semble pourtant fonctionner. J'ai réactivé le téléchargement Mac de la version précédente (la seule différence majeure est le support du chinois). Pouvez-vous tester cette version s'il-vous-plait? (fichier : Along the Edge Mac (v1.3.5 EN/FR)).

Si le problème persiste, pouvez-vous, s'il-vous-plait, nous envoyer un email à alongtheedge@nova-box.com, nous essayerons de résoudre ça avec vous.

Merci,

Geoffroy.

Tout à fait !

Il faut cliquer sur le bouton "Download / Télécharger" en haut de la page du jeu et suivre les instructions.

Pas de sortie prévue sur GoG.com et l'Humble Store pour l'instant, désolé.
