Description
Telling people where to go is just the beginning. Welcome to Afterlife, a world-building simulation that lets you create the hereafter in the here and now. Possessed of an unearthly sense of humor, it all begins in a god-knows-where galaxy. As a "regional spiritual director" your task, given to you by the Powers That Be, is to develop two prime planes of “unreal estate” - heaven and hell - simultaneously. Keep the billions of souls happy by giving them the rewards and punishments they deserve.

The wages of sin are plentiful. Open up your afterlife with the Pearly Gates of Heaven or the Fiery Gates of Hell, zone for the Seven Deadly Sins and/or their respective Virtues. Then lay down some roads. Soon, the dearly departed arrive in droves. Keep them in your afterlife and you flourish. Lose too many along the way and it may mean a visit from the Four Surfers of the Apocalypso (not a good time). Factor in a half-dozen or so supernatural disasters (not including total annihilation), money problems and headaches from the planet and you're in for infinite hours of gameplay.
  • Over 200 artistically rendered rewards and punishments
  • Nearly 300 detailed tiles and buildings, more maps, graphs and charts than you can shake a pitchfork at
  • Plus it's the most sophisticated engine of any sim game beginning with the letter A

An Underrated Cozy Game

I admit, as someone who is very new to city management games, I might not be the best person to give advice on which games are worth your time and money. But I've really grown to love Afterlife. It is the first city-type game I've ever played and it's what's made me become interested in trying out other entries in the genre. I also really think it stands out as a fun experience. Watching your afterlife grow over time is really satisfying, and is a great thing to do if you want something to relax to. Also the writing and music are really charming and help add to the experience.

Mid-90s niche sim

I used to play this for HOURS way back when, so of course I'm going to play this again if I can.

A unique themed city-building game

The graphis and music are so nostalgic of LucasArts. The music in particularly takes me to listening to Day of The Tentacle (DOTT).
