Until Then has a new ending to chase today. Afterimages, the story DLC for Polychroma Games' Filipino coming-of-age narrative adventure, is now available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
The launch is marked by a new PlayStation trailer, while Maximum Entertainment's announcement confirms that Afterimages adds two chapters to the game on June 18. A physical edition of Until Then, which includes the base game and Afterimages, is also scheduled for September 3.
Until Then is not a conventional visual novel. Its story follows Mark Borja and his friends in a fictional version of the Philippines, mixing school life, messaging apps, minigames and a mystery where people disappear and memories cannot always be trusted. The official site describes it as a narrative adventure about Mark trying to uncover the truth before it is too late.
Afterimages returns to that intimate style instead of turning the DLC into a separate genre exercise. The Steam page for Afterimages says the expansion follows Sofia as she comes home to memories she left behind, while Mark meets a new lover and an old friend. The two chapters are titled Homecoming and Sparks.
That setup is a natural fit for a game whose reputation rests on small moments as much as its larger mystery. Until Then has always used ordinary interactions, school pressure and phone-based social life to make its emotional turns land. New chapters give Polychroma room to revisit those characters after the base game without needing a sequel-scale reset.
The DLC also adds smaller interactive pieces around the story. Steam lists tarot reading and baking minigames, along with expanded in-game phone apps for dating and video content. Those details sound modest on paper, but they matter in Until Then because so much of the game's texture comes from how everyday routines sit beside grief, friendship and unreliable memory.
There is one important practical caveat: Afterimages requires the base game on Steam, and the same expectation applies to the DLC framing on other platforms. On Steam, the expansion is listed at $4.99. The base game itself is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Until Then has also found a clear audience on Steam. The base game page lists an Overwhelmingly Positive user review average, while Maximum Entertainment said the game had a 97 percent Overwhelmingly Positive rating at the time of the DLC announcement. For a narrative game from an independent Filipino studio, that response helps explain why Afterimages is more than a small post-launch extra. It is a return to the characters and setting that gave Until Then its following.
Players who already finished the base game can start Afterimages now. Newcomers still need the original Until Then first, with the September 3 physical edition offering a bundled option for PS5 and Nintendo Switch owners who want the base game and DLC on disc or cartridge.
