Summary
Play as Gaia, the Spirit of Life, and navigate stunning platforming environments in an abstract world to salvage the souls of extinct animals. Revive these creatures after learning their final fate: the last whale harpooned, the final eagle caged, the last deer hunted down, and more, while you survive encounters with dangerous, oil-covered Devourers that roam the wasteland in search of remaining life.
In this emotional journey from the creators of the critically acclaimed Arise: A Simple Story, you alone can restore life to the planet.

After Us Trailer
Critic Reviews38
Apart from racing up papery
billboards and conjuring spectral
trees to propel us over gaps, the
platforming bits are spoiled by
Gaia’s awkward handling.
Combat against the remaining
‘devourers’ is worse, as you run
around mashing the trigger to
‘redeem’ your gloopy pursuers.
It’s basically a well-meaning but
tedious lecture, telling
you absolutely nothing
you didn’t already
know.

Despite its immediate beauty, After Us doesn’t generate the emotional response I would hope for from a title in this genre. Perhaps if it were a bit shorter and more focused, I would have been more motivated to explore and rescue every spirit. Instead, the unpolished platforming and surplus of unnecessary collectibles diluted its intensity. Though there are certainly some memorable moments here, there are simply other titles in the genre that are much more successful at doing what After Us is attempting to accomplish.

After Us presents a strong message about planet conservation and wildlife preservation. However, weak gameplay and hollow-level design make the game a running simulator rather than an engaging platformer.
