Introduction

Welcome to Afterparty, a video game where you basically have to drink your way out of Hell. Frankly, it's the type of gameplay I thought only existed in bad decisions from last Saturday night. You play as two best friends, Milo and Lola, who unfortunately find themselves in Hell. Spoiler alert: it's not as fun as the name suggests-but it does have a fully-stocked bar. If you ever wanted to outdrink Satan, this game is for you. Seriously, this isn't a typical Monday night hangout, but you might find yourself laughing way too hard at things that probably aren't that funny.

Gameplay

Afterparty lets you pick dialogue, navigate through parties where the drinks flow like the rivers of despair, and side quests that involve convincing demons to let you party harder than they do. The main goal? Outdrink Satan to return to Earth-because nothing says redemption like a good binge. You'll encounter a variety of quirky characters, including your personal demon who's actually less hellish than your average college roommate. No kidding, the game is essentially a mix of 'choose your own adventure' and party politics, minus the terrifying email chains. You also engage in dance-offs, represent souls in court (who knew Hell had its own legal drama?), and generally navigate a very strange afterlife.

Graphics

The game sports a unique art style reminiscent of a warm, fuzzy hangover. The visuals pop in a way that makes you wonder if you've accidentally slipped into a really well-produced animated series. The design is colorful and vibrant, and the character animations are smooth enough to convince you that maybe after partying a little too hard, you could still walk straight-unlike your average Tuesday morning.

Conclusion

Afterparty is not just about the wild antics of two afterlife adventurers-it's a surprisingly deep commentary on friendship, the fear of adulthood, and the struggle against addiction, all wrapped up in a whimsical package. If you're looking for a game that mixes humor, choice, and slightly intoxicated demons, look no further. This game received generally favorable reviews for its clever writing and engaging gameplay, proving that sometimes you can find redemption at the bottom of a shot glass. Just don't play it in a serious mood-because the only thing darker than the humor is the plot twist of the rate at which your life choices begin to sound more appealing after one too many drinks.
