After Our Lives

The third game I'm reviewing from the writer. The first two were really heavy in sexual content. This one however, is a vastly lighter experience in the sexual content department. Actually, it doesn't have much of that stuff at all, instead carrying a melancholy tone while exploring a few thought-provoking concepts of being reunited with a loved one, along with life and the afterlife.

Your wife dies before you does. Nevertheless, you still see her somehow. In dreams or imagination, maybe? However, when your time on the planet finally ends, you find yourself reunited with her. It did explore quite a number of interesting themes around the experience and the rush of feelings when it is all ready to end, as well as the question of whether you were actually ready. Despite the melancholy tones, there is a bit of humor in one part too, which is a nice touch. It was a read which I enjoyed, and which also left me thinking for a while.

This was submitted for the single-choice jam. Still, as far as I can tell, this was an entirely linear read, and I don't recall any choices, even fake ones. Nevertheless, the single-choice rule is probably a maximum, so I guess this passes. Plus, it's a solid read.

Anyway, if you read the writer's other two IFDB entries before coming here, let's just say that this is a totally different ball game. Go on, have a look and enjoy the read.
