Description:
Afterplace is a retro adventure game for those who love to wander. It´s a huge open world full of hidden secrets, treasures and creatures. Explore forests, fight monsters, talk to suspicious characters, walk away from them mid-conversation (if you want) and get so lost that you fall out of this world (and maybe even end up in another). You never know what the forest might be hiding, and not all trails are paved. Labyrinths and dungeons are hidden in the most hidden corners. There are no checkpoints in Afterplace. You will have to forge your own path.
Afterplace strives to give you an experience that feels both small and huge at the same time. The game has simple and smooth controls, allowing you to focus on exploration and discovery. The characters will be happy to chat with you - or you can just run past them! You can choose which story, if any, to explore (we are not responsible for the consequences of ignoring the story, whatever they may be).
About 10 hours of unique gameplay (and much more if you get lost).
No world map
An open world where you can explore any path in any order
Lots of friends, enemies and at least one friend-enemy
Ability to upgrade weapons, buy armor, and take dangerous chemicals to increase your strength
Okay, maybe there is a world map after all.
Multiple ends that depend on your decisions that you probably don´t even know about
About 25 unique enemies? That´s a lot, right?
Wait, no, this world map is drawn on a napkin with chalk. This won´t do.
Secret paths that will lead you to completely normal and interesting places.
A cat you can pet. With your sword.
25 unique monsters are truly special. They have bright personalities and are not like other monsters.
At least two world maps.

About the Author: Afterplace was created entirely by Evan Keys, a former software engineer from Austin, Texas. In 2019, he quit his job to devote himself full-time to game development. Originally released on mobile in 2022, Afterplace brought a true indie experience to a platform better known for its support for newcomers and microtransactions. Evan continues to maintain and refine Afterplace on PC, where it remains unique: a hand-crafted world with no hints, hundreds of hidden scenes, and countless surprises that depend on who you talk to (and how often). No playthrough of the game will be the same.
