About this game

Afterplace is an adventurous indie game for mobile devices. It's a huge open world, full of hidden secrets, treasures, and creatures. You'll run around the woods, fight monsters, and talk to ostensibly shady characters! All from your pocket! Be warned though - you never know what the forest might be hiding. Not all trails are paved. Labyrinths and dungeons are tucked away in the most concealed nooks. There are no waypoints in Afterplace. You'll have to forge your own path.

Afterplace has been designed from the ground up to be a fast, fluid, beautiful experience for mobile. There are no virtual buttons. You can move and attack by touching anywhere. You can tap objects directly to interact or attack, use two thumbs like a traditional controller, or control the game with a physical gamepad. The game will adapt dynamically to your play style. Pick up and set down the game at your own pace, it will always save your progress. Afterplace is made to feel like a full-fledged indie adventure game that fits in your pocket.

Ratings and reviews

Afterplace is hands down the best game I have played this year, in fact it's one of the best games I've played in a long time. To only have a 1000+ downloads is a tragedy, it should be well over a million by now. It has that old-school NES/SNES Zelda style gameplay, and then there's the story and the dialogue, OMG play this game. Developers should be throwing money at this man's feet for the dialogue alone. Why are you still reading this...you should have already started playing by now.

Simply Beautiful. I was looking for a nice pixel game that I could play and was willing to pay just to not have ads. I must say, wow, this game is such a hidden gem! If you are using touch controls, it's playable but difficult, at least it was for me. Luckily, I have a system that has buttons which this game supports. You can also play in landscape mode. Thank you so much for this game, I truly enjoyed it! Looking forward to any possible future games made by this developer(s).

CONTOLLER SUPPORT!!! :) There are so many glowing reviews of this game already, there's not a ton I can add. Except this. I took a chance on this game, but sadly couldn't effectively use the touch controls (fat, inflexible thumbs). Needless to say, I was bummed. When I realized I could switch to landscape view and use a controller, the game opened right up for me. More people need to know this is an option. Makes the game more accessible for people like me, so they won't miss out on this gem
