AFTERLIFE — A HAND-DRAWN TRICK PUZZLE ADVENTURE
What if the obvious answer was almost always wrong?
AfterLife is a hand-drawn puzzle adventure about curiosity, memories, and the strange journey that comes after life. Each level is a small scene built around one simple idea — but solving it means thinking beyond the obvious.
“Open the Curtains!”
“Answer the Phone!”
“Find Your Glasses!”
The title tells you what to do. Figuring out how is the puzzle.
HOW YOU PLAY
Tap, drag, explore, and interact with each scene. Some puzzles require you to look at the game differently — tilt your phone, turn it face down, pinch the picture, or simply notice something you would normally ignore.
There are no timers and no pressure. Most levels take only a minute or two, making AfterLife perfect for short play sessions.
If you get something wrong, the level resets instantly. Try again.
HEART OR MIND?
Not every puzzle is solved the same way.
The Heart & Mind meter gives you a subtle clue about whether a level is asking for logic, observation, or instinct.
Stuck? Every level has two written hints — a gentle nudge first, followed by a stronger clue.
Still not your puzzle? Skip it and keep the story moving.
A STORY ABOUT MEMORIES
Gran wakes one morning in her favourite armchair, lighter than she has felt in years.
The clocks have stopped.
Nobody in the house can see her.
Except for a crow on the windowsill who seems to have plenty to say.
A small lamp carrying her name points towards a distant river — and Gran begins a strange journey through places, memories, and moments from her life.
Along the way, you'll encounter shadows that steal small things, a companion flame, and memories Gran thought she had left behind.
A torn photograph.
An unsent letter.
A second lamp that was never lit.
Collect memory fragments hidden throughout the world to fill the Book — a picture-book revealing pieces of Gran's life.
The story unfolds in short moments between puzzles, keeping the adventure mysterious, warm, and personal without getting in the way of gameplay.
