Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fast-paced or action-focused experience may find its slow, contemplative structure unsuitable.
- Players who need frequent saves, tutorials, or directional indicators may struggle with its progression.
- Players looking for a short, simple puzzle game may find the multi-chapter investigation too demanding.
Our take on After You
The central appeal is presented as a narrative investigation, but the practical experience is defined by difficulty, note-taking, and limited saving. The lack of tutorials and indicators is not a minor detail: it shapes how every location, note, and puzzle must be approached.
What is After You?
After You is a narrative puzzle game about Aron, who wakes to find his room and surroundings empty of family and neighbours.
The story unfolds across three chapters as he investigates what happened and uncovers personal stories connected to the places he visits. Gameplay centers on exploring three open locations, reading notes, and drawing deductions to solve more than 10 puzzles with varied difficulty. The game provides no indicators or tutorials, and saving is restricted rather than available at any chosen moment. It is structured as a slow, contemplative experience, with a main storyline and additional smaller narratives. The vendor recommends using paper and pencil while progressing through the investigation.
