The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You wander Hell as a boozy, sardonic buddy comedy where every chat and drink choice reshapes the story's path.

What players say

Players compare Afterparty unfavorably to the developer's earlier Oxenfree, calling the story shallow and the writing predictable despite strong voice acting and art. The gameplay is criticized as tedious walking between points, with dialogue that feels repetitive and characters that lack depth.
