What players say

Fans of the series say Afterlife is a short but rewarding entry with tougher puzzles and a nostalgic tour of familiar characters and locations. Players note it introduces experimental visuals like paper drawings mixed with real objects, but several find the logic occasionally confusing and the game too brief for the price.
