About Afterlife

After the tragic death of their 5-year-old son, a family struggles with his loss and attempts to mend their frayed bonds. Experience the struggle through the child’s ghostly eyes and explore Afterlife’s multiverse of different realities as the family acknowledges his absence, or presence, in their own lives. Using a cutting-edge VR filming technique, Afterlife takes you through a 360 VR branching narrative that seamlessly reveals a story that shifts based on the characters that you choose to follow and the objects you activate within the environment.

Key Features

  • Witness the void that death leaves behind in an interactive virtual reality drama
  • Shape the story by choosing which character you follow
  • Navigate and interact seamlessly in a rich 360-3D virtual reality live-action narrative
  • No two playthroughs are alike: this branching story has 3 episodes, 29 unique choices, thousands of unique playthroughs and multiple endings
  • Game mode: Single user
  • Player mode: sitting or standing
  • Language: English
  • Subtitles in English and French available (NOTE: Enabling subtitles will disable the 3D stereoscopic capabilities in order to avoid eye soreness while reading the text.)

Choices Matter


Grief is uncomfortable, but our choices move us forward or leave us stuck. For this reason, in Afterlife -just as in real life- intended and unconscious choices matter and will determine how the story unfolds. Follow characters, discover objects to interact, and reveal different paths.

Breakthrough the Void and Be Present!

✦ AI summary

Afterlife is a 40-minute 360-degree cinematic VR experience where your gaze directs which scenes you witness rather than offering traditional interactivity. Players praise the video quality and story concept with branching paths, but criticize the minimal interaction, amateur acting in places, occasional visual distortion, and feel it lacks the engagement of a true interactive experience. Most reviewers suggest this is worth experiencing only if purchased on sale rather than at full price.

I watched 20 min of this 360 degree film like experience and you literally sit or stand inactive and are forced to watch some family members played by amateurish acting individuals enacting a female soap opera about a lost child. This is neither interactive nor VR or 3D, this is a silly excuse for not making a movie on the 2D screen!

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] This is an approximately 40 minute 360 purely cinematic movie experience. There are some interactions that consist of staring in a particular direction and / or pressing trigger to begin an event sequence. Your gaze will effect which scenes you see in the 360 movie. The 3D here is not the best quality, however, since it is not streaming, it is better than most Steam VR experiences. I did think some of the scenes were too blurry & not clear enough, as well as there was some distortion in some of the scenes & sometimes a fish eye effect in some areas. I think the actors did a good job given what they were working with. 360 cinema direction is very difficult. There is just a camera plopped in the middle of the scene while actors come in and out of the scene. The audience can be looking anywhere during this time. This makes acting very difficult. Unlike some of the negative reviews, I think the actors did good given these daunting circumstances. I think it was the direction that could have been tighter. I did enjoy the story, but you do have to pay close attention to get all the details. It is a story about a family who had a child pass aw…

Good quality video. Good acting. Good story No hints for interaction... But even if it makes sens to be like that I think this "hurts" the game.

A really cool concept. Feels like my eyes are a bit crossed at times with a Quest 2. However I watched and chose 2 completely different paths which took almost 2 hours and do not have any headache or motion sickness. Eyes feel a bit weird but focus returning to normal. I wasn't too impressed with the story or acting at first but as I got into it and saw my path being laid out in each chapter it became more engaging. Looking forward to getting the last ending I haven't watched yet. I grabbed it on sale and worth every penny.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
