a simcity 2000 esque game where you build your own heaven and hell. if that sounds interesting to you, be prepared to throw out any assumptions that this plays exactly like simcity 2000.

someone on archive.org also scanned the player's guide for afterlife, and it's honestly required reading while playing coz the game's pretty impenetrable without it. gamefaqs and gameplay videos also help. (https://archive.org/details/afterlife-official-players-guide-jo-ashburn)

that aside, afterlife's an interesting little builder game, if far too complex for it's own good.

Don't really feel comfortable rating this one because after hours trying to understand what I was supposed to be doing I just couldn't get the hang of it. I don't mean it's poorly designed, there are just a lot of systems at play here and I couldn't wrap my head around them.

I think this is really cool in concept, but extremely catered to an audience interested in efficiency management on top of being inaccessible due to aged design.

Maybe I'll come back to it some day! But for now it's not for me.
