6 itemsAbout the Game
Everyone has at least once thought about what happens to those whom we leave alone. Will you be able to cope with yourself as a loner? Will you cause the death of an innocent girl?
Aftershock is a first—person psychological horror story game.
You play as a combat veteran Nikolai, whose psychological trauma is gradually losing touch with reality. Memories of the war turn into hallucinations, the familiar world is changing before our eyes, and every step makes us doubt our own mind.
Explore your surroundings, interact with objects, uncover the hero's past, solve puzzles, and make decisions that affect the ending of the story. The real danger lies not in monsters, but in Nikolai's mind — and the consequences of his actions can destroy the only person close to him who is trying to help him.
In addition, they are waiting for you:
Research and interaction with the environment.
Nonlinear decisions that affect the fate of Nikolai and others.
Hallucinations that change the perception of the world and events.
Atmospheric retro style.
An immersive sound that enhances the feeling of anxiety.
