After You

A Mixed Experience for Puzzle Enthusiasts The game markets itself as a challenging puzzle adventure for seasoned thinkers, raising high expectations. Unfortunately, it only partially lives up to this promise. As an experienced puzzle fan, I found the game entertaining overall, but it left me with mixed feelings. The Positives: Entertaining puzzles: Some of the puzzles were creative and provided a short burst of fun. For beginners, this could be a good introduction to the world of puzzle games. Aesthetic and atmosphere: The visual design and immersive environment were solidly executed. The Drawbacks: Too short: The game is overall quite short, leaving it feeling unfinished. For players hoping for a longer and more in-depth experience, this is disappointing. No save function: The lack of a save feature is a glaring design flaw. In a puzzle game where you might want to take breaks or think things through, this omission becomes frustrating. Unclear puzzles: Some puzzles, like the one with the three "X"s, were overly ambiguous or unnecessarily simplistic. The solutions were often so basic that seasoned puzzle fans tended to overthink them. This mismatch between expectations and …

[h3]B and X Rated at the same time[/h3] I rarely excoriate hard work in games, but this one deserves it even though it's a solo developed game. Even the plotline although interesting is spoiled by the ending. So much effort was put into this game but it ultimately is a waste of nearly 2 hours due to just being plain badly finished. [h3]Unfinished[/h3] As a game it suffers from inconsistent controls, sometimes you need to left click, sometimes you press E and other times you press R. Always the game has to remind you which key to press, it's that inconsistent. At one point it telly you to press T twice, which curiously only works once, after that you have to press T once only, and I get the impression the solo developer not only has poor command of English language and of American culture (you can see lots of left-hand drive car, and lots of cars are marked "police"). If only someone had play-tested the game early on and helped direct, it would have been playable. The game has a simple soundscape, which builds a bit of mood. But the sound effects for actions are often entirely missing, incorrect or far too quiet to hear. Which makes a lot of the puzzles just harder than necessary t…

A pretty nice game. Nice story, nice puzzles (except the bark puzzle) and overall nice atmossphere. Thats pretty much all i can say about the game. The prize i also ok. I can recommend it

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ — Decent Mystery, Worth It on Sale I've been clearing out my backlog and After You was a pretty decent little mystery game. I wouldn't say it blew me away, but I enjoyed it more than I disliked it, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. For a game made by a single developer, I think After You is a respectable effort. It has a good atmosphere, nice environments, and a decent story, even if some of the puzzles and technical issues can be frustrating. I'd recommend picking it up on sale rather than paying full price. 🧩 [b]What I Liked[/b] The maps and environments look good, and I enjoyed exploring them while piecing together what happened. The storyline is also pretty decent, with the various notes and discoveries giving you more insight into the people who lived there. The puzzles are definitely on the difficult side, though. The game expects you to pay attention, read everything, and figure things out through deduction rather than giving you much help. I personally don't mind that, but it can get frustrating at times. ⚠️ [b]One Noteworthy Issue[/b] I did run into a bug during the church/graveyard section that wouldn't let me progress. I actually looked up the solution onli…

way to short

I really Tempus, so I thought I'd give this a try. It's a pretty simplistic game. You get clues by reading the letters which don't translate exactly into English but you can get the gist. Unfortunately the clues for chapter 1 are not very straightforward. And worse yet, I had to play chapter 1 twice to move on. I started chapter 2, but It apparently doesn't save the game. Now when I reload the game it starts on chapter 1 again. I give up, I won't be going any further.
