Afterparty- Video Games As Art

I have a bit of affection for Night School Studios as they made one of my favourite game of recent times, Oxenfree. With its follow up game, the studio ups the ante as you control teens Milo and Lola escaping Hell rather than the island of the previous game.

In Afterparty, you play beer pong and other drinking games but the game is an introspective look at what it means to be human and how it feels to face your own mortality. It’s a powerful and emotive game but I felt it didn’t quite stick the landing, and I played it through to get both endings. Its a beautiful game though and well worth a look.
