"when"?

Hey, it might be a wait rivaling Duke Nukem Forever, but it'll come out some day!

Update on Afterimage: This game is HUGE. I didn't realize the full breadth and scope of it until last night. The map areas feel larger than other games because they're seamless rather than having rooms; the only metroidvania I can recall off my head that I've played with seamless rooms is Ori, and they're bigger than Ori 2. Probably bigger than HK, on the order of Sundered -- except that only has a few total areas. Afterimage has at least a couple dozen. I don't actually know yet.

It's very slow with handing out upgrades. You gotta explore the world and eventually find them, rather than just assuming "oh, there's an upgrade in this area. I'll stay here until I find it." It is absolutely a game for patient exploration, if that's your thing. But the moment that really got me is when I was 8 hours in and found a whistle to call a friendly sea creature...AND GO TO A GD WORLDMAP. The area I'd been in the whole time connected to like 5 other locations. (I later realized they are, in fact, part of the same continuous map, just far apart.)

If you enjoy playing metroidvanias for the sheer thrill of looking around and finding stuff, Afterimage is definitely worth a try. Just be warned that you will use lots of map pins for all the places you can't get to yet.
