Afterparty Hands On: Out-drinking Satan in hell

Afterparty

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.

If you asked me to tell you one game I think you should play from the last couple of years, I’d barely hesitate before suggesting Oxenfree. It is an exceptionally good game, focused on a mysterious tale told through an exquisitely good dialogue system. Night School Studio’s follow-up Afterparty is attempting to take it all one step further. A pub crawl in hell, where booze is your special power.

In Afterparty, you can vomit up your conscience, and watch it run away. It’s a neat way of ensuring all your dialogue choices are awful. It’s one of many ways that drinking can affect your characters, as you spend one heck of a night in hell, on a mission to out-drink Satan.
