Gods of the Twilight, a new cyberpunk visual novel, is gearing up for early access soon, and developer Volutian Design just revealed the headline voice actors. Kelsey Jaffer (Yaoyao in Genshin Impact), stars as Althea, one of Gods’ dual protagonists, while Amina Koroma (Dark Breaker Mikki Kori and others in Baldur’s Gate 3) is her bodyguard Lt. Komani.
Award-winning actor Atli Oskar stars as Farkas, the second of Gods of the Twilight’s dual protagonists. You can have a listen at the trio in action in the new trailer below.
Gods of the Twilight takes place in the far distant future in New Reykjavík, a city-ship dripping with advanced technology – and even further advanced social and ecological decay. The world’s last days are fast approaching, and it’s up to Farkas and Althea to navigate New Reykjavik’s dark secrets, save the city, and maybe find a bit of companionship in the process.
“This project is the brainchild of two friends who share a deep love for roleplaying and immersive storytelling,” Leandro Zantedeschi, Volutian Design co-founder, said in a press release. “We spent years working on it, improving it slowly and steadily by our own efforts and those of the talented artists, voice actors, and other collaborators we hired to help us. And we did so because we believe in it–we’re driven to create something heartfelt, with complex characters and themes, for an audience that shares our passion and enjoys the world we’re creating as much as we do.”
Your choices as Varkas and Althea determine how their relationships develop – or don’t – with other citizens and even each other. Every character has romance options with multiple genders, and polyamory may also be possible depending on your choices. Decisions carry over between chapters, and individual choices stack up and influence how the story branches on the road to one of Gods of the Twilight’s many endings.
Gods of the Twilight’s first five chapters launch Steam in early access for PC via Steam on Nov. 14, 2023. If you’re keen to try it out sooner, Volutian included a Gods of the Twilight demo in the October Steam Next Fest.
