Shadows of the Afterland is a very pleasant way to kick off the year. Its an adventure featuring a twist-filled story, meaningful themes, and puzzles that aren’t overly difficult. At the same time, its subtle, unobtrusive humor occasionally brings a smile to your face. Despite the fact that we’re tasked with investigating the circumstances of our own death, it’s an experience I’ll remember as surprisingly chill. Not a bad deal at all for €15!

If you’re looking for a simple, short, but enjoyable point-and-click adventure, Shadows of the Afterland is worth a look. The game features some strong environments and appealing visuals, but its storytelling lacks depth and the puzzles are fairly straightforward. Still, if you have four to five spare hours and are looking for a modestly priced experience, it offers a decent amount of fun.

A clever and interesting adventure, whose short duration and relatively low difficulty of its puzzles do not allow it to shine more brightly.
