Evening College Studio’s adhere to-up to the fabulous Oxenfree is ultimately out. Afterparty sends two close friends to Hell, which is not someplace you’d count on to uncover the drinks flowing, not unless they’re filled with maggots and an off-brand coke. But flow the drinks do, for the reason that the only way to get out of there is to out-drink Satan and his relatives.
No want for a wristband, no want to prove who you are, and no want to bribe a bouncer. You are in, and you want to get out.
At least you are there with your greatest bud. Oxenfree’s genius was in producing the many characters connect. Dialogue filled the gaps, constructed relationships, and bubbled along like a group of close friends would. Afterparty has the very same DNA, exactly where Milo and Lola wander the afterlife, attempting to survive the drinking session of their
lives deaths.
RPS has quietly lusted for Oxenfree’s adhere to-up for a though now. The sadly dead John Walker was especially taken with the notion that each and every drink you take types your character, so you can down a self-confidence-boosting liqueur and destroy a person at a game of beer pong, or you can drink to the point exactly where your conscience is vomited out, escaping, and leaving you with a nasty case of the imply mouths.
You can go to and fro, lurching exactly where you want to, and the game will carry on regardless. You can miss issues, also. I can picture discussing Afterparty with individuals like we got split up on a evening out, each and every with a story to inform that the other individual played no element in.
It is out now, on the Epic Games Retailer for £15.99/$19.99, and will ultimately be on Steam.
