5 Reasons Afterparty Is The Best Game Of 2019 You Never Played

6. It's Good, Stupid Fun

If you're familiar with Night School's last outing then you're in for a surprise if you're expecting the same tone as Oxenfree. Afterparty is a big departure in that sense as Night School's version of hell is surprisingly pleasant. You won't get the horror of Oxenfree, nor the drama - well, at least not in such hefty doses.

Afterparty is a bonkers, off the wall, weird-as-hell comedy through and through. Really, how could it not be when your sole objective is to get s***faced and out drink satan?

The game is very much reminiscent of the kind of fun of old LucasArts adventure games, just far more accessible.

Although the mechanics remain pretty much unchanged since Oxenfree, one fun addition is that the drinks you imbibe in the ninth circle have some interesting effects - other than getting you balls to the wall wasted, that is. A personal favourite is a beverage that has you talking like a jazz age Fitzgerald character.

Damn skippy, old sport.
