Zaragoza, Spain – 7Jul 2026 – Indie developer Maboroshi Artworks and publisher Entalto Publishing are proud to announce an exclusive Closed Playtest for their upcoming title, SOMBRAS: negative frames. Players are invited to step into a nostalgic, first-person narrative adventure with light horror elements and a unique mechanics-driven photography system, gaining early access to the game’s atmosphere and puzzles before its official release.
The game follows Shiomi, a Japanese-Spanish photography student who finds herself spirited away into a dark, mirrored version of her 2000s Japanese hometown. Players must navigate these liminal, shadow-drenched streets, using Shiomi's camera to capture unusual sights, develop film rolls to upgrade equipment, and confront repressed terrors in an emotional exploration of identity, youth, and dysfunctional family systems.
To participate, interested players should visit the official SOMBRAS: negative frames Steam page and click the "Request Access" button under the "Join the SOMBRAS: negative frames Playtest" section. Slots are limited, so players are encouraged to request access as soon as possible to ensure their participation, as well as to join Maboroshi Artworks’ Discord server to share their opinions and shape the final game.
Don’t forget to wishlist SOMBRAS: negative frames on Steam to be ready for its launch in Q4 2026 on all platforms and jump into the Discord to discover all the news and talk directly with the developers!
