    After Us (Multi, XPd on PS5) As Gaia, explore the ruined Earth on a quest to retrieve Mother's life force/rescue the souls of the vessels housing the life force and bringing them back to Mother's Ark.

    TL;DR: Play this game.

    After Us is a 3rd person platformer. It's hard to call this game pretty. The Ark certainly is, and only gets more so as you progress. The "Earth" is very much the opposite. It's a somewhat surreal representation, one that's covered in refuse, grime, and oil. It's quite depressing, honestly. The vessels holding Mother's life force are all dead. So be warned, there is rather true to life depictions of dead animals. There is hope at the Ark though, and that kept me going to see the end.

    It's a fairly mechanically standard 3d platformer in most aspects. Double jump, hold jump longer for higher jumps/to float for a short time. Sprint/air dash button. Not standard: a "throw your heart/hold to charge life force" button. Throwing your heart is for collecting spirits, as well as interacting with switches/doors. Life force clears oil slicks/grows plants in specific areas.

    For the most part, this game is generous with the check points. Also good about letting you engage with a switch/collectible and then "die" without taking back the action. Only came across a couple sections where you have to "do thing" in a limited time with a reset to the beginning if you fail. They weren't long or otherwise super frustrating, which was appreciated.

    It's not super difficult, but there's some sections that require precise timing/rapid button presses, and with no accessibility options this may be a challenge for some players. The map is weird, but you have a dedicated "ping collectible" button that sets loose a trail of butterflies you can follow. I was able to 100% the game without outside help. And they do make it obvious where you need to go.

    This game was an interesting experience that I hope more people play. 👍👍 #ShareYourGames #Gaming #PS5 #AfterUs #VideoGames

  2. I especially like to imagine the relief of bees, evolving their steady societies without our panic and poison.

  3. #AfterUs is now under the category "Great on Deck"... lovely!

    If you're looking for an #indie game with definitely some thoughts behind it, I strongly suggest this title.

  4. #GoodMorning folks!

    I guess that for this week the worst is gone (talking about Monday, ofc!)

    Luckily yesterday I was able to play #AfterUs, such a gem of a game with a powerful and depressing atmosphere. Your job is to bring once again the light of life to those dried lands, destroyed by the devourers.

    Like Gaia, the main character of the game, remember to bring light and life to everyone around you :dracthyr_wuw:

    Ok, maybe a #coffee ☕ is in order, first.

  5. Hey adventurers!
    It's time to start a new adventure in a dried up world, where all life forms are extinct.

    It's time to discover what will remain... #AfterUs

    I'll be #live #streaming in a few minutes on #twitch

  6. Bin durch mit #AfterUs. Mein schnelles Fazit zu diesem #Game: Geschmeidige Spielmechanik, optisch hätte man noch mehr rausholen können, Spaß und Melancholie geben sich hier die Hand. Das Spiel punktet vor allem durch seine Story, die nur in Bildern erzählt wird, und mir oft schwer im Magen lag. Es hat mir Spaß gemacht zu spielen, aber es hat auch emotionalen Schmerz verursacht, dem menschlichen Zerstörungswahn, im Umgang mit Tier und Umwelt, zuzusehen.

  7. I've been gifted with a key for #AfterUs

    This game feels so much up my alley due to the background story: #animals, #environment, #future, #humanity going (went, in the game) in the wrong direction.

    I'll probably be #streaming it on #Twitch in the next few days, stay connected!

  8. So. Kaffee und dann schnell den Brotjob erledigen, damit ich weiter #AfterUs zocken kann. 🏃🏻‍♀️

  9. Den ersten Spirit bei #AfterUs gefunden und erstmal in Tränen ausgebrochen. 😭 Sowas packt mich hart, seit Josh und Gizmo über die Regenbogenbrücke gegangen sind. Wunderschönes und schmerzliches Spiel zugleich. Erinnert mich mit seiner sanften Wucht etwas an Ori.

  10. Por si no tenían suficiente aventuras emocionales, llega #AfterUs. Se ve lindo y que seguro claven una lloradita al jugarlo.
