Best Indie Games of 2019
Honorable Mention: Afterparty
Staff Writer Andrew McMahon: When a premise is so good it can sell a game all itself, you know that, if nothing else, you’re in for a wild ride. Afterparty is just that, telling the story of two teenagers, Lola and Milo, who are thrust into Hell with no knowledge whatsoever of how they got there or what to do to get out.
The only way for the protagonists to even attempt to escape is by navigating a horde of vulgar, but surprisingly amicable, demons, challenging them to drinking contests and other shenanigans in order to try and outdrink Hell’s bigwig: Satan.
Thanks to some comical writing and amazing performances from well-known industry veterans like Dave Fenoy, Ashly Burch, and Erin Yvette, Afterparty delivers another story narrative-driven fans should experience.
