Our take on What Comes After
Rather than using a conventional adventure built around extended exploration or conflict, the game places its journey on a train and makes conversations with departing souls the main structure. Its afterlife setting frames a personal story instead of a quest-driven campaign.
What is What Comes After?
What Comes After is a side-scrolling adventure following Vivi on a train traveling to the afterlife and back.
The train carries souls of people, animals, and plants leaving the world, and Vivi can speak with them about love, regret, life, and death. These conversations shape a personal journey centered on learning to love oneself. The story combines comedy, philosophy, and a light-hearted tone, with colorful artwork accompanying the train ride.
