HereAfter

HereAfter was actually pretty fun when I played it, and I enjoyed what was there. Unfortunately, at this point it feels like the game is never going to be completed. Try it out, it was free but don't go in with any high expectations.

HereAfter is a small-scale 2D action-adventure that combines retro platforming, exploration, combat, puzzles, and light equipment progression within the remains of an abandoned laboratory. Developed and published by Brown Studios, it has the unmistakable character of an ambitious indie project built around ideas that extend beyond its modest presentation. Its pixel-art visuals immediately establish an old-school atmosphere, while the mysterious setting gives players a reason to investigate rather than simply move from one combat encounter to another. The story follows a robotic experiment that was considered a failure by its creator and placed into a prolonged sleep. When the machine unexpectedly awakens, its memories are missing and the laboratory is no longer the controlled scientific environment it once was. Its creator has disappeared, experiments have escaped confinement, and much of the facility has been left to deteriorate. This setup creates an effective sense of isolation because the protagonist is essentially exploring the remains of its own forgotten history while trying to understand why it was abandoned.

Игра "HereAfter" — это атмосферный психологический хоррор с необычной концепцией. В центре сюжета — загадочная смерть главного героя и его попытки разобраться в тайнах параллельной реальности.

I hate this game. It probably might be the worst Steam game I actually played so far. Firstly it does show the controls but doesn't even consider making a tutorial to help you practice even a teeny bit. The trailer shown is much different than what you play here, I also thought of getting the game so I can have 100% on it too. Enemies which even the blue crawlers, being the weakest are annoying as you always have to duck at to shoot and kill it which having another different enemy makes it worse to fight them especially when it's a Flying Bones which is the flying monster with a skull and crouching won't let you move, not even slowly and just lets you only change directions. When almost going to the first boss entrance, the computer Muse actually notifies you the boss is ahead but doesn't let you acknowledge even one bit about the rusted spike, which is used in the first boss and just imagine if the player went ahead without getting the rusted spike. I was also confused and I just had to start over when I die and not a single damage landed on the boss. And of course the save file doesn't even work at all even when I press the actual button to submit, and after I went to the comm…
