About the Game

A child has gone missing. The building is rotting. And something in the walls remembers you.

Afterbright is a short psychological horror game. You play as Mark Langford, a burned-out police officer pulled into the shadows by a desperate plea: a child has vanished without a trace from an old apartment block condemned by the city.

What begins as an ordinary missing person investigation quickly spirals into a waking nightmare. The deeper he digs, the more the darkness consumes him...

What You Can Experience

  • Unravel a gripping narrative
    Descend into the fractured minds of a decaying city and the people who still call it home.

  • Interact with unsettling residents
    Question strange, often unsettling residents, each with their own secrets, to uncover clues behind the child’s disappearance.

  • Unearth a haunting urban legend
    Witness the slow, terrifying realization of an urban myth coming to life, blurring the lines between reality, memory, and madness.
