Night School Studio·Released Oct 29, 2019·Single player
In Afterparty, you are Milo and Lola, recently deceased best buds who suddenly find themselves staring down an eternity in Hell. But there's a loophole: outdrink Satan and he'll grant you re-entry to Earth.
Afterparty isn't the most groundbreaking work about hell or its denizens, but it zeroes in on its characters' personal demons with a sobering clarity that makes for an adventure with a sharp, biting wit.
Afterparty as a whole is surprisingly funny. I did actual out loud laughs sometimes, not just strong exhalations through my nose.
The top-notch writing and superb voice acting, coupled with the visually vibrant hellscape, keeps your interest from start to finish.
Afterparty is one of the funniest games I’ve ever played, and its plot bends to player choices in subtle, important ways. But Night School Studio needs to clean up the bugs before I can fully recommend players go to Hell.
Narrative adventure is an ambitious attempt at dialog gaming
Night School Studios follows on its excellent work in Oxenfree with this touching, all-too-real look at the absurdity of life and video games.
Night School Studio’s underworld adventure is one hell of a time.
Afterparty has plenty of lighthearted moments, but you'll stay at the party for the meaningful conversations.
