If you’ve played Oxenfree you probably already know a little of what to expect from Afterparty: a smart, walking–and–talking adventure game where optional speech bubbles appear above the characters’ heads; naturalistic dialogue between characters whose relationships grow in complexity as the game goes on; some weird supernatural stuff.
Afterparty does all these things, but Night School Studio’s second outing also feels stronger and punchier — and not just because it’s set in hell, so everyone says rude words a lot.
