Afterplace

Beautifully written game. Can't believe i found a hidden gem with such an emotional ending. Gameplay wise, very enjoyable and fun. Story/Lore wise, very very VERY good. This game reminds me of Undertale. I highly recommend it for everyone to try. My only wish here is having an achievement list, but i guess the mystery is what makes this game more enjoyable.

- MrBroggGames · v1.2.22

If you read nothing else know this: this is an AMAZING GAME. PLAY IT. 10/10 story, I was entranced the whole time. The characters are so interesting and cute. The tidbits of the backstory throughout kept perfectly drip feeding me and making me want to know more. I WANTED to read every book in the library. 9/10 gameplay, Controls are simple and snappy but struggle rarely due to having something to interact with around, making it so you don't swing your sword when you tap. A rare issue at least.

- SleepyDuckBoi · v1.2.22

came in with 0 expectations after scrolling randomly for something new to play - I never expected a mobile game to have this depth of storytelling and gameplay. 10/10 fair warning, I get scared easily so I always google for jumpscare warnings/generally scary content - google will tell you this game doesn't have any but it ABSOLUTELY does.

- Lina Grey · v1.2.22

One of the best games I've ever played.

- C D · v1.2.22

THIS GAME IS A JEWEL! The only reason I've give it 3 stars is because there's a very annoying problem: I prefer to play it in landscape mode, cuz it's more conformable to play, specially in fights, but there's no way to zoom the camera a little and they put the camera waay too far! Everything becomes a dot on my screen. Pls fix that. For those who loved this game, try MINISHOOT'S ADVENTURE too, it's similar.

- Jonas Elric · v1.2.22

there is only one thing that makes this game feel bad. the loading time between different zones. its really annoying to restart a run and having to start all the way from home. I appreciate the effect that has emotionally and I DON'T want to play invincibility mode. so just having a better loading experience would take away some of the friction.

- The making of Multi- Waves · v1.2.22

If you like old school Zelda types, this game doesn't disappoint

- Jacob Filek · v1.2.22

this is the coolest game ever, it's beautifully designed in so many ways! it has gorgeous pixel visuals, colours, sound design, writing, and characters. been playing for 30 minutes and have laughed out loud many times. you can tell how much love and creativity has gone into it. the fact it was priced so low is shocking to me and the choice to not run any ADs is the cherry on top of the cake. super immersive. thank you developer(s) of Afterplace for a lovely experience 🩷

- Katie S · v1.2.22

cool story game. it's refreshing. and it also reminds me of pokemon fire red

- Senzo Junior Mdletshe · v1.2.22

Slept on this for way too long

Had this on my phone for years before I found myself in a life situation that let me play. Vertical, one handed, on a cramped subway, in bursts over the course of two weeks. Game was built perfectly for that, controls very well, with some unexpected moments that has a great blend of nostalgic vibes with modern inspired design, lots of secrets, and many “wtf” moments, and simple, but effective/funny/emotional dialogue. Bravo, excited for whatever is next for this dev, and convincing my friends to pick this one up.

- Atomos128 · v1.2.22

A beautiful, stunning experience!

- Josiah Sey · v1.2.22

So far it's absolutely phenomenal. I've done what I always do in games and went everywhere that felt like I wasn't supposed to go first. I generally don't recommend this play style as it's usually game breaking and/or boring. It honestly feels like this game is rewarding me for it though. Also look up Ea-nāṣir, the copper salesman. There's a funny reference about him in a certain location

- R H · v1.2.22

Great game so far. It's simple looking but a lot to it. I'm a little confused on what exactly to do but no matter what, I'm having fun while being confused.

- komodo gamer · v1.2.22

very few games like this exist on the app store well worth the play.

- Sergio Carretto

Actually really surprised me. I've only been playing for an hour or 2, honestly probably more idk, but there are alot of little quirky things EVERY WHERE that make this game really feel alive and stick out and bring me back. im absolutely In love with the game, from the wheat field shtick, to the hidden areas, the different interaction with different "people" or 'Kin", to the combat, the lore is deep & funny & overall amazing. This game is a solid 10. I have so much more to say. 100% buy this!!!

- Jay Baker · v1.2.22

Phenomenal.

I can’t even explain why I’m writing a review I’m at such a loss of words. I haven’t never been this blown away by a game let alone a mobile one. The story, art, music, combat. Everything seemingly basic coming together to create an absolutely masterpiece! No rules, no one telling you to complete the story but yet there is nothing you want more. The emotional depth the symbolism, the creator of this game truly weaved pieces of their existence into this. The attention to detail, i urge to play this game 1000 times over just to try everything a little different just to experience every possibility. I don’t even remember how much I paid for it, the money will go these emotions and lessons will stay with me forever.

- Cysos · v1.2.23

Simple but not simpler

Very attractive pixel adventure game But CRASH at the begining on iOS 12.2 please fix it THX!!!

- Gooddaymanboy · v1.2.23

I have only been playing for a few hours now and made it to the bottom of the library, but I can tell I am going to enjoy this game a lot. The movement and combat is very easy to pick up and the variety of monsters so far is nice. Cannot wait to see what other treasures can be found. I did pick this up while it was on sale, but I could see myself paying full price for this. Very well made mobile game. Will definitely put this on my YouTube channel ❤️

- Sir Little Wolf · v1.2.22

Genuinely one of the best mobile games out there in terms of narrative! the art is also very impressive. I cannot recommend this enough!

- Aylissa Rose · v1.2.22

Incredible hidden gem. Strong Zelda games vibes with lucid spice. Great story. Fantastic world building. True labour of love of the single dev.

- martin kazmierczak · v1.2.22

Reminds me of the original Zelda, a great, hard to put down, (funny) little adventure. I wish more games were as easy to play, with it's 1 thumb control system. Afterplace is not "a walk in the park" kind of game, but it's not hard either, it's just a big adventure with the player needing to learn and remember as they go. MORE GAMES LIKE THIS PLEASE! 👍🏻

- Johnathan Webster · v1.2.22

OK and fun at first, but also too simple and it turns forgettable by the end and you can safely skip it. It is a wannabe Undertale with a catchy song or two that looks like a dev's first game, and the characters are too nondescript. It's best played with a controller.

- guuglesucks gotham · v1.2.19

proof that mobile gaming still has some artists at the helm. Dangerously addictive, reminds me of Zelda, Undertale and strangely.. Elden ring - it's the same feeling of something completely new and different, the unexpectedness and something new around every corner. Amazing game, just get it.

- Reece · v1.2.22

amazing game for sure, but I think that when I finished I missed some things...

- Diego MF · v1.2.22

This game blew it out of the water! WAY exceeded my expectations. I loved it!! Now I have gaming hangover and am going to have such a hard time trying to find something to follow that up >.<

- Danielle Hansing · v1.2.22

Amazing short story with so many details to explore.

- Finian Graham · v1.2.22

Incredible game. Dialogue was well written and creative. Definitely has that blend of goofy humor meshed with surreal horror that Undertale really nailed (I say horror but the game isn't actually very scary).

- mallowthief !! · v1.2.22

Top notch.

- Martin Stott · v1.2.22

A little triumph!

I think saying too much about *why* this game is incredible (which it is!) defeats the purpose of what the creator intended for the player to experience upon first play-through. Buy this game, set aside some time to really enjoy it and have fun! Afterplace is one of my favorite games I’ve played in 30+ years of gaming. Thank you!

- Dr. Anneli Taube · v1.2.23

Incredible game! Just what I was looking for for my long car ride. the game world is atmospheric, goofy, mysterious, and often a bit disturbing in a PG horror kind of way. Could have done without so much pink on the main character but it works out.. The final boss battle was just bonkers...Ingenious idea there! Worth the full price

- JRHockney · v1.2.22

Kodos to the dev, this was an amazing game. I can remember what I paid for it but it was definitely worth every penny. the story is engaging and the gameplay is hard to get used to at first but still very good. 100% recommend this game to everyone looking for a fun adventure.

- Francois Lizotte

LLLOOOVVVEEE THIS GAME!!!

- Carl “Brian” Neely

Deserves its five star rating, unequivocally. The characters and world building are gorgeous, the combat is straightforward yet enjoyable, and the dialogue is also funny and enjoyable. A thorough delight. Well worth its asking price.

- Cassidy Durose · v1.2.22

Game was amazing! Kept me so involved and intrigued I fought to get through it in just a couple days, unfortunately😄 loved it!!!

- Nicholas Whitley

This is a wonderful game! At its heart it is about exploration and it does a great job of giving you a world you want to explore. Mechanically it is very light, but I found that it struck a good balance of being enjoyable, while allowing me to focus more on the world and the story. As you explore and get to know the world and the characters the story comes together. It strikes a fun balance of heartwarming and creepy and I found the writing very well done. It's a one time purchase, worth it!

- Mark Ellis · v1.2.22

I bought this game for an international flight and it was a great time. It has Undertale vibes. I'm not a huge gamer and have never bought a mobile game and this game had a satisfying story and progression without being too hard. As a non-gamer I also appreciated the invincible mode that could be toggled in the settings so I could get through a couple parts without tedious attempts. That said, I also really liked that dying was part of the storyline! Also the music was nicely done.

- Bridget S · v1.2.22

Genuinely a great game with excellent level design, funny dialog, and good pacing. There were sometimes I wasn't sure where to go next but I eventually found my way to the end. I liked this game very much!

- Tyler · v1.2.22

A game with soul that deserves more attention. It's funny, highly unique, and a visually beautiful game that was clearly a passion project by the solo creator. Exploration, curiosity, and cheeky player choices are rewarded every single time, even if it's just a funny hidden dialog option or interaction. Got it on sale for $1, but well worth buying at full price, as it will be one of the very few mobile games I'll remember fondly for years to come.

- Joe M · v1.2.22

One of the best games! The amount of content in this game is incredible considering it's a mobile game. The world is fun to explore and the story is pretty good. Combat is fun and controls are easy. The effort put into character development was excellent. All in all though you can just tell the dev really cared about this game. Highly recommend.

- Jonathan Powell · v1.2.22

Amazing, phenomenal game. If you enjoy games like Undertale for the story and world exploration, this has a very similar vibe regarding that aspect. The battle mechanics are easy enough to understand, the battles/encounters exciting and sometimes terrifying, absolutely a challenge worth taking on! Not many games I have found on the playstore like this that were as long or as detailed in story. Very fun, high recommendation!

- Anna Crownover · v1.2.22

i guess I thought this was a action adventure game but it's just adventure with a little combat added to make the game more than sightseing just thought this was boring: also the game was lagging and crashing very slow for a pixel game

- Jay Cee

Extremely charming, the story is intriguing. I will see where it goes.

- William Law · v1.2.22

Absolutely well done. The various gags are great, world design is nice and gives a sense of scale without being empty. The characters are great. And that finale, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen a 2d game like this do. Top notch, worth every penny.

- Dakota Stevens · v1.2.22

Weird, odd and strange game but interesting storyline and bit humorous. No complaints whatsoever. Really well made game by one person.

- Jack · v1.2.22

Wow, I really didn't expect how amazing this game would be. I hope to play more games by this developer one day! The world feels super alive, the characters are written so nicely. I looooved the story. I'm usually horrible with horror but this was very doable for me! I tend to explore every nook and cranny in games, and this was really rewarded in Afterplace. Mr Dev - I explored every library shelf with Joxxi, and then again with Joxxi and Minno, and it was such a blast, loved all the dialogue!!

- Lev F · v1.2.21

REALLY REALLY GOOD. Recommend to ANYONE.

- Remi Toulmay · v1.2.21

one of my favorite games of all time

- dahdumbguy · v1.2.21

Genuinely the best mobile game I have ever played. not overstating. It's made with so much love, so many cute details, a good story, the right amount of difficulty... just amazing. You MUST play this. I'd spend 50 bucks on a prequel.

- Janis Jansen · v1.2.21

4 stars for effort and passion went into making this game. The actual quality is 3 at best, otherwise. The story has many cheesy moments that repulsed me from really appreciating my experience, and gameplay is rather simplistic.

- The Nameless

This is simply amazing. I am only about 45 minutes in and this is one of the best mobile games I've ever played. It's so thoughtfully done. What an amazing developer.

- Noah S · v1.2.21

Easily one of if not the best mobile game I've ever played. The only thing I would change is making it longer because it's such a wonderful experience. The world is captivating and fun to explore and learn over time. The writing and characters give me similar vibes to Undertale, although I actually think the combat is more well designed in this game. This is a must play and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

- John Ouellette · v1.2.21

GOATED

- D4L3 · v1.2.21

Creative, good controls, easy to get lost in

I’ve played like 30 games on the iOS system, this is the first one that controls perfectly, and I really gotten lost in the world. The graphics and design and everything is just beautiful, it’s so nice to see a real work of art made by a developer who cares about video games and the product. Not just another subscription slop to make money for the shareholders

- Nick131435135 · v1.2.21

Perfect game

I had to write a review, I just finished Afterplace and was blown away by how fun it was, I didn’t want it to end, but the fact that it did made it even better. It was so well done, and felt like a revival of old Super Nintendo games but with a fresh face. I can’t wait for the creator to make another one!

- Why do we need a nickname✌️ · v1.2.21

Amazing experience, a very satisfying and thought-provoking game

- Blaž Bohinc · v1.2.21

what a gem. this should be the standard of mobile games. definitely an exploration game. it won't hold your hand which to me is a plus. world building is great. combat is simple, not extremely challenging but i enjoyed it. wish there was a sequel because the world felt so full. would love to experience more of it

- Ty · v1.2.21

I was looking for a game that truly felt designed for the phone. Afterplace plays perfectly in portrait mode and I found myself mostly using just one thumb, switching to two thumbs in tough situations. This game looks simple glancing at a screenshot, but the moment the game starts, you feel the love poured into this world. Little details in faces and animations, a timeless kind of humour, and so many cool things I won't talk about because I don't want to take away an ounce of discovery from you.

- Kelsey Scalzi · v1.2.21

The only thing I would change is either a true map or a quick travel between distant locations, but still overall incredible and beyond expectations. excellent work, and I would highly recommend.

- Brandon Bito · v1.2.21

What a beautiful, moving experience. Absolutely fantastic game.

- Paul Wood

This was a truly beautiful story, and easily makes my top ten favorite games. Evan, if you have any more stories to tell, I will happily pay any price to play them.

- Kayleigh Alyssa · v1.2.21

Just a really well done game. Good story, good gameplay, good music and sfx.

- Aaron Zakem · v1.2.21

Ohmygoodnesss I LOVE this one. Pixel art is incredible. Open world play with subtle guidance is mysterious and liberating without being aimless and frustrating. Music contributes flawlessly to cute-yet-creepy vibes. Combat is challenging enough to be engaging but not grindy failure frustrating. Story is utterly captivating. Im gushing too much, but seriously my favorite game of the year+ and I havent even finished it yet.

- Alexandra Miller · v1.2.21

Oh my goodness please please please buy this game it is objectively the BEST mobile game ever made!!!

- 240 Pineville · v1.2.21

Simple adventure game, the touch control is a bit wonky, hard to time a dodge roll with it, thankfully combat is easy enough I can just make do without rolling at all. Also the best ending isn't difficult to get is a plus, nothing in game requires googling to figure out, I enjoy games that aren't overly complicated. Overall can recommend lol.

- Cath Seth · v1.2.21

Wow. How do I even explain what an incredible experience that game was? I have not enjoyed a game like this in *years* - and it couldn't have turned up at a better time in my life. I was expecting the usual phone game experience, and it was on sale so I figured why not. Before I knew it... I'd spent the next two days straight unable to put it down. This reminds me of the magic and immersion games had when I was a kid. Thank you for such a unique game in these strange times!

- Chip Ipenburg · v1.2.21

LOVED this game!!! It took me about 6 hours to beat it and I feel like I still didn't 100% the game. it reminded me a lot of the retro Zelda game boy games. if you enjoyed playing those you will love this too! I really loved all of the characters and how they all had personalities and how funny a lot of the things they said were. Well worth the price

- Summer Winfry

Fun gameplay, gorgeous art, playful music, and sublime story. Couldn't believe it was a solo project.

- Nahom Ephrem · v1.2.21

This was a fun game, I loved the world it was in, it had fun and funny characters and a simply combat that anyone can master. I was invested in the story, it had drama, horror, comedic relief and gets serious when needed. This is definitely a game you return to, to experience the game again and explore every ending

- Sifiso Thwala · v1.2.21

Beautiful. The 80's pixel graphics, original music and storytelling is superb. Highly recommend.

- JAY VINCE · v1.2.21

Oh man... WHAT. A. GAME. Seriously, from the first dialog I was hooked. The jokes, the style, the characters, the story, the gameplay, Everything was top notch. I just wanted some one-handed vertical game, and I found this GEM. Thank You for making this game!

- Gábor Orosz · v1.2.21

great little game. played 1 time though and going at it again to get a new ending. The multiple endings reminds me of one of my old time favorites Chrono Trigger.

- R. OKAZAKI · v1.2.21

Loved this game!

I went into this blind and was blown away by the amount of depth to the game. I legitimately teared up at the end. It’s a really beautiful game and I hope to see more from the developer soon!

- SickNong · v1.2.21

Undertale vibes but creativity of its own!

This is a masterpiece of games, I mean a true masterpiece. There is something magical about Afterplace, and that magic is in the fluidness of the game. There is so much to explore and get lost in this game, but you never really feel lost. The game mechanics and story come together in a genius way that no matter what choice you make you progress, whether you know it or not. Multiple endings so replay value remains pretty high. And the character development is wonderful with deep conversations with even the most basic characters. This game was crafted like the great games of an older simpler time where video game developers cared less about the profit and more about the product! I recommend this game to anyone, but especially us retro adventure gamers from the dawn of great adventure games like Chrono Trigger or Zelda.

- Khakies · v1.2.21

Simply Excellent. I don't play much on mobile, but this game is so well designed and thought out, that it works perfectly. I prefer a real controller when playing games in general (this one does support that too) but it was very playable and great to play with just touch. kudos to the developer. Cleverly written, this should be a must buy for any top-down rpg fan.

- Nick Fieldhouse · v1.2.21

Just finished my first play through

What a wonderful, beautiful hidden gem. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story

- _magpie_ · v1.2.21

Wonky At Best

Play control is wonky. Graphics are weak. I have no idea how this game has such a high rating.

- MotleyMoo · v1.2.21

hatr the map

- jade a

i'm just speechless, what a experience! a shiny sparkling gem in a sea of garbage that is the mobile gaming platform.

- Unknown Entity · v1.2.21

The intuitiveness of the controls is just artwork. The dialogue is top notch. Love the map based navigation elements. Absolutely phenomenal!

- Lance Voxel · v1.2.21

Best with crushed ice

This game was well worth its cost. Eccentric, entertaining characters, unusual takes on established tropes, and worlds both whimsical and disturbing… I’m currently on my third play-through, I think. Note: the menu’s(?)… title page’s(?)… the opening music is as beautiful as it is thematically relevant. I’d say more about that music, but that would include spoilers.

- NopeGnome · v1.2.20

I did not expect to cry

- T.X. Watson

Surprising all the way through

UPDATE 2026: y’all. Honestly, this is such a good game. The controls make sense, the dialogue is so funny (without trying to be a comedic game), and it was interesting all the way through. ORIGINAL REVIEW:What a fantastic game. From start to finish, I laughed and gasped. This game is so good.

- HWRNW · v1.2.20

Must play

Fr the best game i have ever played, counting phone and console games. If you’re thinking abt playing pls pls do, it is so good. The storyline is great, I love the pacing, I love the map, and everything is so insanely detailed it’s crazy.

- apoohhh · v1.2.20

I love the game. The gamepad support and portrait-landscape orientation switch are truly magnificent. Unfortunately, it would be good if there was a button or option to adjust the zooming graphics which will exclusively show a minimap, but not when not zoomed in. Lastly, I've had a problem with loading, which takes a few minutes each time I switch to another map location, making me think the game has frozen and even making me sleepy. I hope you can improve the game in the next update 🔥💪

- yambaca · v1.2.20

pretty cool, ruins are a bit confusing cuz of the sprites but enjoyable experience

- Ata Anon

Beautifully designed game, with a lot of heart.

- Ayan (WalnutHead) · v1.2.20

AMAZING GAME

Delightful & enjoyable to play, through and through. Great music, characters, stories, and world. Played it in one (long) sitting then was sad when it was all over. Will definitely be returning to this world in the future!! So so grateful Evan Kice quit his job to make this game!!

- yessietojessie · v1.2.20

absolute story to remember till I die or even after death

- Zarino Fodera · v1.2.20

Top notch adventure game with an interesting story that has occasional serious moments but fun writing that ranges from slightly whimsical to outright parody of the genre, and a world that is much bigger than you think when you start. Lots of odd little nooks and crannies to explore. Worth every penny.

- Book Beard · v1.2.20

What an intriguing little game!

At $1 I feel like I got away with something. This reminds me of nothing so much as a mini-Undertale: it probably took me 8 hours to finish? 8-10? And it left a really … good impression. There’s nothing that I felt it did … extremely uniquely, but I really enjoyed everything it did, if that makes sense. Incredibly worth your dollar. I’d expect it to be on steam for $10 with 100,000 reviews and an Overwhelmingly Positive moniker or something.

- anechoe · v1.2.20

I never write reviews….

This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It brought back memories of Zelda with a hint of Undertale. I’m genuinely surprised this game is not at the top of the charts

- Josiah3408 · v1.2.20

Three cheers and two thumbs up

Such a great game. On a trip and enjoyed every second of this game. I finished one play through and understand there are multiple endings and more exploration to be had. I would highly recommend to any and all game heads young and old. Classic Zelda feel with a modern undertale story line and dialogue. Try it out when you’re looking for a good game to sink a good amount of well played time into.

- nonamesarentaken · v1.2.20

Fantastic, must buy mobile game

By far one of the best games I have played on my iPhone. Whimsical and surreal all at once.

- mulderc · v1.2.19

Surprised in all the best ways

I bought this game blind because I wanted something charming and easy to jump into when I had downtime. I wasn’t expecting the gameplay to be so high quality, but what really shocked me was how invested in the story and the world building I became. Everything unfolds seamlessly into fright, sadness, and joy. Turning every corner, encountering every new character, felt ripe with the possibility of devastating me, horrifying me, or revealing some terrible truth about who my character is. I cannot recommend the experience of this game enough.

- tedium_ · v1.2.19

let me lock the joystick

I just started the game and I'm really intrigued and expect to enjoy it a lot as I continue to play. But.... I really hate how the virtual joystick moves with me and isnt fixed in place. If there already is a way to lock it then please let me know and if not, please add it as an option in settings. It is genuinely a problem for me and makes it harder to fight and traverse for absolutely no reason. So please, let me lock the joystick.

- eggsan101 · v1.2.19

Hidden Gem

This game is truly a diamond in the rough. I never thought I’d love a mobile game as much as I loved this one. Great characters, interesting story, engaging gameplay, and wonderful music. This game was a reminder to me that video games are truly an art. Evan I hope you keep making games!

- Behemoth617 · v1.2.19

Love this game

the dialogue, the attention to detail, the characters.. THEYRE ALL SO COOL!!!! I just love the world and how it doesnt take itself too seriously It honestly reminds me a little bit of Toby Fox and how its very playful and silly and whimsical. I cant wait to see how this game developes or when Evan Kice makes another game

- DAEG FSMH · v1.2.19

A Masterpiece

Afterplace is truly something special. Hard to believe this entire game was made by one person—it’s beautiful, immersive, and unforgettable. The music is incredible, the gameplay is smooth and engaging, and the story kept me hooked from start to finish. I couldn’t put it down until I beat it. Easily one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played.

- Syrup Gorrila · v1.2.19

The best mobile RPG I’ve ever played

I just got off a long haul flight, and I barely realized it because in that time, I went from first opening the app to beating the game in 9 straight hours. I have never been so engaged by a mobile game before, and I will definitely be watching for whatever this dev is working on next. Incredible game.

- Bagelman263 · v1.2.19

Best Mobile Game Ever

This game is like a AAA open world adventure puzzle game like Zelda but made to work perfectly for mobile. It is a great amount of play time and you can even replay the whole thing and get different interactions and endings. Amazing art, amazing writing, and breathtaking attention to detail. This is obviously a labor of love. It’s incredible. Bravo to the SOLO developer 👏👏👏

- anish543 · v1.2.19
