GAME
OF THE
DAY
Afterplace
Explore a world of secrets.
Magically teleported to a wondrous fantasy world, you see a giant sword floating above a distant forest. What’s it all mean? Afterplace has no map to consult or list of quests to check off. In this fascinating retro-style adventure, there’s only one way to find answers: Start exploring!
What we love: The sense of discovery. A hidden forest path might lead to ruins guarded by fearsome golems and a sneaky magician. A massive, multilevel library holds row after row of readable books—and otherworldly evil. Unraveling the mysteries of this secretive domain—while meeting its charming inhabitants and fighting oddball enemies—is a nonstop treat.
Quick tip: Feeling stuck? Revisit previous areas and look for telltale signs of secret passages, like jagged holes in the tree canopy that signal a hidden path. To return to your home base, drink some sleepytime tea—or just lose a battle!
