Afterparty (video game)

Afterparty is an adventure video game by Night School Studio for macOS, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One platforms in October 2019 and Nintendo Switch in March 2020.

Set in hell, themed as a college town, the player navigates conversations and tries to outdrink Satan with the goal of returning two best friends from the afterlife.

After procuring an invite to Lucifer's party, Milo and Lola meet the host himself, who demands they prove their abilities by obtaining seals of approval from his brothers and sisters, the Monarchs of Hell.

Some time afterward, Milo and Lola relax at a bar and discuss the current situation; depending on the player's actions, Satan can be recovering from his addictions or have fallen off the wagon, but Hell appears to be running better.

But the very real relationship between Lola and Milo, the witty humour that had me chuckling every minute and the audacity on show from Night School Studio to go where they did, at the risk of their player's discomfort, made Afterparty even more than I thought it could be.

"[12] IGN said, "Night School has crafted an original take on the Biblical location, smartly riffed on moral and societal ideas, and told a personal, intriguing story about Milo and Lola’s afterlives.

"[11] The Verge gave the game a positive review, saying, "Throughout this all, Afterparty weaves together its bigger questions about relationships, growing up, and what it means to be a good person through its sharp-tongued humor.
