Somehow, this game made me appreciate poetry as a form of storytelling and art (I hate poetry class). And for that, I can say that it is no ordinary game.
Good art and music adds atmosphere to the grimm, but calm world the protagonist is trapped in. I loved the little details spreaded through the game, such as the objects related to the person's death surrounded by flies. It kind of gives a creepy Limbo vibe.
As for criticism, I would point out that there is no option to skip/accelerate dialogue and as a nitpick the fact that the game is quite short to play.
Anyways, incredible work making this game, and with my critical views, I think we might have found a new Game Jam winner. :)
The art was nice, with the grey tones really complementing the whole 'where are they' feel. The music was also chosen well, as well as the wind sound effect.
I really really enjoyed this! I love poetry and the usage of this kind of rhyming scheme in such a sad journey makes it all so beautiful. It feels like Limbo with a sad version of Banjo Kazooie's type of conversational scripts. Also the composition of scenes is interesting, keeping the characters far and small with a strong light in the background. Love this indeed
This game is brilliant - it creates such an intriguing atmosphere and you really feel for the boy as he continues his journey. Loved the art and aesthetic of Afterwards as well as the music and ambient wind sounds. The poetry was amazing too, so expressive!
The game is just aesthetically beautiful; art and music are very pleasing!
The whole story, writing, all the ideas and things to think about after playing are just fantastic. Hope to see more memorable games like that by you in the future!
This masterpiece is more than just a game. The character driven gameplay, well written story with unique poetic dialogue and of course the theme - very meaningful. I can't say enough about the music and other details, which create amazing background for such a short, memorable experience. Brilliant work!
Love the music! So somber and fits really well. I’m a huge sucker for poetry, so this is right up my alley! I absolutely adore what you did with Limerick. Super well done!
