About

Set during a pandemic lockdown in France, The World After is a FMV point & click adventure game that tells the story of a man who tries to uncover the truth behind his strange nightmares and the mystery of the village he's living in. The World After is a brand new sci-fi full-motion video point and click adventure game, created during the 2020 French pandemic lockdown by movie designers and artists. Starring Jean-Claude Dreyfus (The City of Lost Children, Delicatessen), this game is the perfect match between old-school point and click mechanics and modern cinematography technology.
