Afterparty, the follow-up (but not sequel) to 2016’s fantastic teenage adventure Oxenfree, will be released on October 29 for Xbox One (including Xbox Game Pass on day one), PS4, and PC. I played the first two hours of it on Xbox One X, and came away pretty impressed, outside of some moments of slowdown that seemed to be tied to loading new areas. Take a look at the first 11 minutes of the game in the video above. WARNING: This video contains strong language.
Afterparty has you alternating control between best friends Milo and Lola, who’ve both died and gone to Hell for reasons they will spend the game trying to figure out. They quickly discover that if they can out-drink the Prince of Darkness himself, they’ll be allowed to go back to Earth, alive. It’s an adventure game in the classic LucasArts sense, though its gameplay is entirely through dialogue; there is no inventory system or object-based puzzle-solving. If you’ve played Oxenfree you’ll feel right at home.
