From developers Piccolo Studio and publishers Private Division comes a new riveting exploration adventure game that aims to provide impactful storytelling. This title is called After Us and it was officially announced during The Game Awards 2022.
This game combines storytelling with compelling exploration and adventure. Players take on the role of Gaia, the Spirit of Life, as she must jump, glide, dash, wallride, and swim to evade deadly obstacles and enemies. As the embodiment of life, she has the power to help restore and reconstitute the planet. By emitting bursts of light, Gaia sparks new plant growth revealing new paths for traversal.
“After Us is a game about legacy and hope. We set out to craft a powerful game experience that blends poignant narrative with creative game design and unique mechanics. We look forward to seeing everyone’s reactions to the game when it releases next Spring,” said Alexis Corominas, Game Director at Piccolo Studio.
The game prominently displays a fantastic world wrought by the destructive actions of an unbridled society, experienced by the player across ten different biomes. Players learn the final fates of various majestic creatures, such as the last whale harpooned, the final eagle caged, or the last deer hunted down, before resurrecting their spirits to return life to the world. Each new environment presents new challenges for Gaia and tells the stories of these animals’ final moments before their climactic moment of rebirth.
After Us is set to launch in Spring 2023 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Are you excited about a new game featuring heavy exploration and heavy meaning?
