Afterlife

Afterlife is a short little RPG game in which you follow the nameless protagonist who has stumbled into the afterlife, trying to find their way back home and making friends along the way.

Afterlife was a submission for one of my university storytelling classes inspired by my then fixations on Buddy Simulator 1984 by Not a Sailor Studios and Undertale by Tobyfox. The game is based on Joseph Campbell’s well-known Hero’s Journey.
