In Afterparty, you play Milo and Lola, recently deceased best buds who suddenly find themselves staring down an eternity in Hell. But there’s a loophole: outdrink Satan and he’ll grant you re-entry to Earth.
Milo and Lola are now dead, thirsty, and roaming the streets of Nowhere, the outermost island of Hell.
What adventures will you stumble through in the underworld? Every step is up to you. Time to go on the best bender ever, uncover the mystery of why you’ve been damned, and drink the big guy under the table.

Afterparty Review
Night School’s Hell is a world where humans are sent for the smallest infractions, like using the express lane in grocery stores when they have too many items in their carriage. It’s where demons work regular 9-5 schedules and go out during their off-work hours, drinking heavily and partying like there’s no tomorrow – because in eternity, there technically isn’t.
Unlike in Oxenfree, where jokey millennial future shock gives way to darker stakes as the story goes on, Afterparty’s similarly youthful spirit and questions of “now what?” are given consistent levity. Afterparty is a comedy game through and through, and that’s its strongest feat. Demons approach their roles as torturers like humans would a factory job, bringing the same oft-seen apathy to something as severe as forcing hellbound humans to urinate sand. Then their shift ends and the tortured and the torturers go out to play beer pong together like it was all just another day at the office.
Afterparty uses a similar dialogue system to Oxenfree, where characters frequently talk over each other and multiple dialogue options are available for you to interrupt at any time. That might sound confusing on paper but in action it feels far more realistic than any other video game dialogue system. Rather than just waiting tedious long minutes for a character to finish their lines, this feels like you’re really talking to someone and makes the whole process seem much more interactive.
Afterparty feels like it’s on the cusp of greatness but never quite sticks the landing. It’s rather short, at around five hours, which is fine in terms of value for money but with no proper puzzles, or anything else to do outside a few lame mini-games, it all feels a little undercooked. There’s also quite a few bugs and glitches, which doesn’t help matters.
