Our take on The Happy Hereafter
Instead of placing settlement management in a conventional living community, the game builds its village around newly dead residents establishing an afterlife. It also joins resource work and construction with exploration, hidden discoveries, and comic-style narrative scenes.
What is The Happy Hereafter?
Guide newly dead characters as they settle in the afterlife and develop a village.
Assign residents to construct houses, gather resources, and earn money for further building. The game includes six locations to explore, hidden secrets to uncover, and over 100 missions to complete. Dozens of eccentric characters arrive at the eternal destination, while comic-inspired scenes present the story. A tutorial introduces the systems during play. The central structure combines settlement management, resource work, exploration, and mission progression as the village grows in the underworld.
