Afterplace

very few games provide the kind of experience this one does. please please please play this game if you are at all into adventure/exploration style games. it is a complete masterpiece. this game is all that and more. you really feel like you’re on an adventure with afterplace. this game provides that elusive feeling of being enraptured by the characters and world around you. as i was playing i thought, “man this is one of those games you will always wish you could play again for the first time.” get this one; oh the places you’ll go.

This game checked several boxes for me: Relatable characters? Check. Humor (lighthearted and dark)? Check. Mind-twisting story? Check. GIANT MURDEROUS FLAMINGOS? Check. Evan Kice could have written a book using the story he created for Afterplace, and it would have been a bestseller. Instead he decided to share it with the world in video game form, and it absolutely still captures that majestic storytelling with easy to learn and execute mechanics (though some enemies take a bit of practice to reliably defeat with no damage). Very rarely in a game can you force someone to sell drugs to you (seriously, all the cool dealers are doing it), immediately help a kid overcome himself, followed by a tasty bowl of noodles. The game throws plot twists like a pitching machine, but wraps them all together in a package that made me cry at a few points. Oh, and you can destroy a playground. If you're lonely, this game will resonate with you. A lot. If you like games that mess with your head, this game will feed that. If you love a good story, this game is for you. I should note that most of my time (so far) has been spent on the Apple iOS version, I also purchased it on Steam (it's literally so good I bought it twice). The primary differences that I've seen so far is that combat is easier on Steam (REALLY recommend you use a controller though), but using items is easier on iOS. Regardless, this is a masterpiece of a game, and I would recommend it to anyone (except flamingo-lovers, you monsters).

This is such a special little game. If you’re thinking of purchasing, just do it. It is extremely charming, well crafted, world full of secrets. Worth much more than is being charged. I recommend this to everyone I know, I’d play any game this developer made.

I played through this game in a couple days, but it is definitely one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played. As a developer myself (no games yet), this has made me want to develop a game with my own story. Thank you for providing an awesome game and an awesome story

What an incredible game. So much content. So engaging. So many secrets! This is exactly the type of game we need more of.

I’m about 4.5 hours in, and it’s simple gameplay, intriguing world/characters, and just overall charm have me totally invested. If you have the opportunity to go into this one blind, do so. Wonderful job Evan.

Awesome game, hard to see in landscape.

Good story, funny interactions.

I just randomly decided to download after searching for an adventure game and I saw some good reviews. Boy am I glad I did. I’ve played this game non stop for the last few days and just beat it. It was fun start to finish, with lots of humor, wit, twists, and an awesome story. You really grow to care about these characters and the game has an almost nostalgic feeling to it. I just can’t believe that this game isn’t way more popular. My only complaint is that it was hard to find hints or help online due to it not being so well known but I am positive that it will just grow in popularity from here. Thank you to everyone involved in making this game. It’s amazing! I will recommend this to all of my friends.

I just finished Afterplace and rushed here to leave a review. If you need a great RPG to escape a family vacation, don’t skip this game. It’s not super long or challenging, but the characters and world are deep and engaging. The combat is straight-forward and the puzzles are fun. Every obstacle felt approachable - in a very good way. This deserves to be an editor’s choice for a reason!!!
