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

A game with soul that deserves more attention. It's funny, highly unique, and a visually beautiful game that was clearly a passion project by the solo creator. Exploration, curiosity, and cheeky player choices are rewarded every single time, even if it's just a funny hidden dialog option or interaction. Got it on sale for $1, but well worth buying at full price, as it will be one of the very few mobile games I'll remember fondly for years to come.

One of the best games! The amount of content in this game is incredible considering it's a mobile game. The world is fun to explore and the story is pretty good. Combat is fun and controls are easy. The effort put into character development was excellent. All in all though you can just tell the dev really cared about this game. Highly recommend.

I bought this game for an international flight and it was a great time. It has Undertale vibes. I'm not a huge gamer and have never bought a mobile game and this game had a satisfying story and progression without being too hard. As a non-gamer I also appreciated the invincible mode that could be toggled in the settings so I could get through a couple parts without tedious attempts. That said, I also really liked that dying was part of the storyline! Also the music was nicely done.
