A new comedic adventure game is releasing next year in Afterlife: Dying to Get Back. While there’s no actual date revealed, it looks like this one is coming to PC and consoles.
In the game, players take on the role of a soul that arrived in the great beyond. However, it has some unfinished business in the land of the living. Because of this, players need to find a way to return back to life. However, the journey won’t be easy since it has caught the attention of one Evil Dr. Krull and his Evil Army.
To escape the Evil pursuit, players must use their ghostly reflexes to survive bullet-hell battles. Players also need to rely on whatever help fellow souls offer along the way.
Major features of the game include:
- A soulful, single-player adventure full of pretentious and sometimes humorous quotes about life and death.
- Explore the mysterious Afterlife and unlock hidden secrets as you find your way back to the land of the living.
- Meet a large cast of “colorful” 2D souls in a 3D world.
- Bullet-hell combat with ARPG elements. Use skills to dodge and shoot at the right time.
- Battle dozens of henchmen and leaders of an evil army with deadly motives.
- Solve clever puzzles that might have you scratching your head but leave you feeling super smart.
- Use the phone to keep track of the game’s progress or take a bomb selfie.
- Rescue hidden souls, trapped in secret rooms.
- Special cameo appearance by the one-and-only, Grim Reaper.
- Pet a dog.
