Hey kids, what’ll it be? Your blood starting to clean itself? Let's fix that. Actually, we fixed some bugs. Thanks for your patience while we sorted them out. Here’s what’s mixed into this latest patch cocktail: Satan was getting stuck while walking along curved walls, but we’ve set him straight. Skoll’s bouncer went on unauthorized breaks after autosaving. We fired him. Autosaving blocked conversations with Lynda, so we got her a margarita. Jumping into Milo’s conscience was broken, but we’ve got that little dweeb right as rain again. While we were at it, we added a few more subtitle language

How do we craft “good” conversations and what does that mean? Join Kahlief Adams, host and founder of the Spawn On Me podcast, as he sits down with Adam Hines, our co-founder and lead writer.

Night School Studio, the developer behind acclaimed narrative adventure Oxenfree and its highly anticipated sequel, has been acquired by Netflix. Night School has gained a reputation for creating engaging, sharply written adventures with a strong focus on narrative across the four games it's launched since its founding in 2014. After 2016's critically lauded Oxenfree, the developer released a well-received Mr. Robot tie-in, 1.51exfiltrati0n, followed by pub-crawl-through-hell adventure Afterparty and the Apple-exclusive space escapade Next Stop Nowhere. Notably, given the acquisition news, the

Despite enjoying it during my initial review, I never connected to Afterparty in the same way as its predecessor Oxenfree, one of my favourite games. Both are narrative-focused - you walk two characters from A to B and pick dialogue options, some of these options will change the course the story takes. Your protagonists are young people with a very natural way of speaking - they mumble and interrupt each other should you so choose, sigh loud and use "like", like... you know. I think I never liked Afterparty as much as Oxenfree because it's a less hopeful continuation of the same problems - Oxe

Welcome to the Afterparty You're invited We can't believe it's been almost a full year since we unleashed Hell on Earth with Afterparty, our ultimate night-out simulator.

First, the good news: Afterparty is coming to Steam on October 22! Now the not-so-great news: you’ve died and are about to burn in Hell. Instead of getting cozy with the concept of being eternally flayed, you must elbow your way into Satan’s house party and convince him to grant you re-entry to Earth. But (lucky for you?) the only way he’ll consider it is if you can outdrink him. That’s the premise of Afterparty, our next original game after Oxenfree. https://store.steampowered.com/app/762220/Afterparty/ We wanted to let players inhabit their own darkly comedic adventure--like Superbad, but as

Hi! How are you doing? Are you doing okay? How many wellness apps have you deleted and redownloaded in the last two weeks? Do you currently have another tab open to a video explaining how to teach World War II to a nine-year old? Are you growing your own toilet paper? Well better get on it! But before you go over to your neighbor’s house to steal his bleach, I have some actual, verifiable good news! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32404645/99c49cb114e285e2cdf978b6bb74bef7ac911334.gif Halloween is around the corner!

My best friends and I have always said to one another, "We'll take turns driving the hippie bus to Hell." We've laughed at a lot of inappropriate things. Gotten ourselves into questionable scenarios. Done a lot of stuff our parents still don't know about, and thank goodness there is no evidence of it. (Don't ask, mom.) We joke about going to Hell, but Hell is just a big joke until you're actually there. Then it's an afterparty. That's the whole premise of the appropriately-named Afterparty. You play as best-friend-duo Lola and Milo who have, due to

Developer: Night School Studio Publisher: Night School Studio Release: Out now On: Windows From: Epic Games Store For: 16, $20, 16 If you’ve played Oxenfree you probably already know a little of what to expect from Afterparty: a smart, walking–and–talking adventure game where optional speech bubbles appear above the characters’ heads; naturalistic dialogue between characters whose relationships grow in complexity as the game goes on; some weird supernatural stuff. Afterparty does all these things, but Night School Studio’s second outing also feels stronger and p

What if Hell were really just a place like any other? The idea behind Afterparty seems ludicrous at first, but the more you think about it, the more plausible it seems. Here, humans and demons meet up in bars during their off-hours, unwinding with a nice glass of colourful acid before returning to a long day of torture. It's another world with a touch of the familiar - like putting Starbucks on the moon. Fittingly, the first thing best friends Milo and Lola see of Hell is a sports bar populated by demons. The pair soon realise they're dead, with no memory as to how they died or why they ended

Hell is where everything you order is delivered by UPS. Hell is where you have to read every single subtweet that might be about you. Hell is a queue that never ends. Hell is being kicked out of a bar because you have to fill out paperwork. Hell is where you condemn a terminally ill med student to the Ninth Circle in order to get into a party.  Oh, and there's also an Arby's. Welcome to Afterparty. To clarify, Afterparty is a branching narrative drinking game set in Hell. Our protagonists are Lola and Milo—played by Janina Gavnkar and Khoi Dao respectively—two rece

The next game from Night School Studio, the developer of creepy adventure game Oxenfree, looks just as spooky as that game, but possibly funnier. The narrative-heavy adventure is about two best friends waking up in Nowhere, the outer ring of Hell, and drinking their way out.  Best friends Milo and Lola will try different drinks with buffs that lead to different dialogue options. Their choices will affect those around them as well, and the islands of Hell might be forever changed by their antics. Afterparty will feature an "intelligent conversation system that changes the story and yo
