About the Game

We're a small indie studio that's been working day and night to achieve a big dream: deliver an engaging Virtual Reality RPG oozing with atmosphere, free movement, exciting battles. So, a long time ago in a place far away...

A young mage receives a mysterious weapon through an unlikely conjuration when demons invade. The bad news is that no one know how it works. With haste, the mage embarks on a perilous journey to uncover its secrets, find long forgotten magic, gather familiars, and seek the powers to save the realm.

The Afterwoods takes place between a creepy, ever-changing forest and a mysterious castle. As the mage gains experience, skilled combat and smart decisions earn a place among the legends.

The game features kinetic attacks and momentum based movements that are easy to learn, but take practice to master. Good timing, solid kinetics, and creative thinking rule the day.
