Prepare for a short, sweet, and deeply moving experience in What Comes After, especially now that it is available on Xbox.
What Comes After, a side-scrolling narrative adventure about learning to love yourself, has pulled into the Xbox station.
Developed by the creator of the beloved Coffee Talk, in collaboration with Rolling Glory Jam, and published by Flynn’s Arcade, this heartwarming journey is available for £6.69.
It arrives on Xbox following its previous release on Nintendo Switch and PC (through Steam), ready to offer a unique perspective to a new audience.
A Journey to the Afterlife and Back
What Comes After tells the story of Vivi, a young woman who finds herself on an unexpected journey aboard a train destined for the afterlife. This isn’t a tale of doom and gloom, however. Instead, it’s presented as a “heartwarming story, and a love letter to all of you who think you’re a burden for other people.”
Your goal is to help Vivi find herself as she navigates this unusual commute. The train is filled not just with the souls of people, but also animals and even plants, all on their way to whatever lies beyond.
Conversations on Life, Love, and Regrets
The core of What Comes After lies in its interactions. As Vivi, you’ll:
- Ride the Train: Experience a beautifully realised side-scrolling adventure.
- Talk to Souls: Engage in conversations with the diverse spectral passengers.
- Explore Deep Themes: Learn about love, regrets, life, and death – the universal themes that haunt us all until our own time comes.
Despite the weighty subject matter, the game presents these explorations in a light-hearted way, sprinkled with comedy and philosophy.
It’s an experience designed to be poignant and thought-provoking, rather than overwhelming.
