'Gods Of The Twilight' Voiced By Baldur’s Gate 3, Genshin Impact Voice Talent Star, Early Access In November, Demo Next Week - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 5, 2023 @ 6:30 a.m. PDT

Gods Of The Twilight is an episodic cyberpunk visual novel where old magic returns to a world of tech.

How will you end the world? Play as Althea and Farkas as old Norse magic returns to their world of tech, and they realize they're more than human. Encounter gods, monsters, governments, corporations, and criminals... decide who to trust, and prepare for Ragnarök.

Control two protagonists in parallel as they start to realize they're more than human. Decide who to trust when supernatural and human groups each have their own agendas, and ancient truths about you and your companions start to resurface.

This is a world where magic has mostly been forgotten, but with Ragnarök approaching, strange events are taking shape... especially in the lives of Althea and Farkas, a young woman and man living on the city-ship of New Reykjavík. You control both of them as they face mysterious assassins, their own emerging abilities, and hints of the roles they may choose to play in world-shaking events to come. They can become friends, rivals, or even lovers with a variety of companions—including each other—as they navigate a web of potential allies and enemies... including gods, monsters, governments, corporations, and criminals. The two player characters encounter companions who can share their journey toward the apocalypse. It's up to you how these relationships develop, and whether either player character may change alliegences entirely.

  • Althea Mishra - A scholarly but sheltered daughter of two high-achieving parents, she’s an intellectual who nonetheless loves dirty jokes.
  • Farkas Hekluson - Under the hardened exterior of a guy who survived rough streets growing up, he’s a scarred introvert deeply protective of those he cares about.

Companions

  • Sara Grímsdóttir - Sensitivity and strength combined, this mostly soft-spoken girl is just as full of bravery as she is compassion for anyone she encounters.
  • Hektor Koskinen - A shameless dork, he’s involuntarily wealthy thanks to his CEO father, but nonetheless straightforward and honest to a fault.
  • Lieutenant Cebisa Komani - A duty-driven Icelandic special forces police officer, she’s now an operative for the highly classified international operation dealing with recent supernatural occurrences.
  • Mikael Pulkkinen - Hector’s valet, who has become more like an older brother to him through the years they’ve spent together. Easily sees through bullshit and has zero tolerance for it.
  • Jóhannes Stefánsson - A personal assistant to Althea's parents, he likes to keep things strictly professional and not reveal much about himself, but the recent strange occurrences will test the limits of this mask.

    And more as the story unfolds!

 


Showcased in the new trailer, Gods Of The Twilight boasts a star-studded voice cast whose talents aid in telling the rich story of two reincarnated Norse gods facing a modern apocalypse. Kelsey Jaffer, known for their work in Genshin Impact and The First Slam Dunk, lends her voice as Althea, while Atli Óskar, an accomplished actor with nominations from the Icelandic Edda Academy Award, and winner of the prestigious Berlinale European Shooting Stars Award, embodies the voice of Farkas.

The cast also includes Amina Koroma (Baldur’s Gate 3), Ellis Knight (SMITE, Lie of Caelum), Ian Russell (RWBY: Arrowfell, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Prophecy), and a wider, supremely talented group who, through fully voice-acted dialogue, chronicle the heartful journey of two young people discovering that they're more than human in a tech-fueled world where magic has mostly been forgotten.

Gods Of The Twilight will have a playable demo as part of Steam Next Fest on October 9th, and launches its first five chapters in Steam Early Access for PC, Mac, and Linux on November 14, 2023.

A demo is currently available on Steam and Itch.io.

“Beyond the content in the demo, Early Access includes the first 5 chapters of Season 1. The demo and Chapters 1-5 together are about 100k words, and Season 1 is expected to include 20 chapters. Fully voiced dialog is currently being added to Chapters 1-5 and will be included when we put the Early Access game up for purchase.”

“The Early Access version does not contain all of the chapters of story content that will be included in the final version. Currently, it includes 5 chapters, whereas the final release is planned to contain 20 chapters. We will be adding more chapters to the Early Access version as we go, but will not move out of Early Access until the last chapter has been added. The Early Access version of the story is also subject to adjustments based on feedback, so it may differ from the final release version of the story.”

Key Features:

  • Fully voiced dialog!
  • Choose how the world ends (hundreds of variables shape your story)!
  • Choose which characters will become your allies, enemies, friends, rivals, or lovers.
  • An episodic story released over time, where choices carry over between chapters and seasons.
  • Over 100k words in the demo and first installment of episodic chapters.

Gods Of The Twilight is in development for PC (Steam),scheduled for 2025.
