this was fun to go through, though it did make me a bit sad. good dystopian setting!
I loved your experience. I do believe hat this game is exploring some of the possible futures of uploading and then continuing to work from brands in your afterlife.
Keep the work and looking forward to other games in the future!
I ran into two bugs, the second one was just a black screen, after which My experience ended.
Here is the gameplay.
P.S.: I understand now, that was the end of the game. Clever.
Loved how you managed to portray a truly horrifying idea that I just found so funny, looking forward to your next nightmare game
this was really great, and also my greatest fear haha. I did experience some bugs, one time I had a black screen and a line of dialogue got skipped near the end, and also when I replayed it it skipped a lot of content, so I had to uninstall and reinstall to get a fresh full start. Really great overall, very freaky - and occasionally funny :)
Please wait a moment. If This is a digital afterlife, then what was the previous afterlife?
Please explain!!!
This is straight up capitalism just in death
This is extremely well done. Would love see it expanded on. Great Stuff.
Unsettling with a sprinkle or two of dark humor. I hope this isn't a horrific insight into the future.
Was a fun game and an intriguing thought concept! Took me back to the Black Mirror and Uploaded TV shows and the concept of morality of people being uploaded to an afterlife. It was well done and only thing I would suggest would be more graphics (though I do realise they can be very expensive and time consuming to produce) to tie everything together. Other than that, the actress did a great job being emotionless and it was well executed!
Thank you for your comment! The actress is actually generated using AI - she doesn't really exist. Both the visuals and the speech are computer-generated based on written text.
Oh, holy crap. That was a great generation, I did suspect at first that it was AI generated but it was very well done!
I really enjoyed your play-though! I loved it when you did close-ups of the characters' eyes - 0:42, I lol'd. Thank you so much for streaming this!
The question is: Does the afterlife subscription fee go up every 1000 years or so when it needs to add new content. Great game with an amazing concept.
Fantastic! ❤️
Interesting.
Hey! Thank you for streaming! I tried to watch your stream but it says "Video Unavailable" - looks like it's private now. " Sad I missed it!
Its back on. Sorry, I privated it by accident.
A really interesting concept that i had a lot of fun with.
I hope you keep working and expanding this
My love for cheeseburgers is bigger than ever before.
as laugh out loud funny as it is genuinely painful in it's eerily conceivable truths
Agreed, because I could see this happening if this tech every comes to be.
