At its heart, Life After Magic is a proper magical girl story that examines common themes like friendship during struggles, staying true to yourself and finding hope to overcome fear but with a focus on common struggles of adulthood.
This game does a very interesting thing the way it uses the magical girl theme to examine some very common real-life struggles. I like how compassionate it is in regards to how lost people feel once they reach adulthood, and how that feeling of being lost can linger around for a very long time. It uses its theme to look at a lot of different angles to the same struggle that is shared between all the main characters of this VN, which makes it feel like a very thorough examination of adulthood.
The epilogue ties up everything nicely and in a satisfying way too. I definitely recommend checking that one out once you finish the main game.
