Description

The After Us (Original Soundtrack) is bundled with your Steam purchase of the game. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking atmospheric score of After Us, masterfully crafted by composer Daniel Elms. Featuring 46 tracks spanning well over 3 hours of music, this sweeping soundtrack perfectly embodies the game's poignant themes of desolation and hope that unfold throughout the player's journey.

Step into the role of Gaia, the Spirit of Life, as you traverse breathtaking platforming landscapes within an abstract, dying world, on a mission to recover the souls of vanished animals. Uncover the heartbreaking final moments of these lost creatures — the last whale struck by a harpoon, the final eagle imprisoned in a cage, the last deer pursued by hunters, and beyond — all while evading the relentless threat of oil-drenched Devourers that stalk the barren wasteland, hungering for any remaining signs of life.

From the celebrated developers behind the critically praised Arise: A Simple Story, this deeply moving adventure places the fate of the entire planet squarely in your hands.

Key Features:
Gaia's journey: The world's last animals have perished, and Mother has exhausted her entire Life Force preserving their souls, now imprisoned within their vessels. Gaia must track down every soul and deliver them to Mother's Ark. Her traversal skills — gliding, jumping, and dashing — help you explore uncharted territories and escape lethal hazards, while her unique abilities empower you to purge the oil consuming the world, confront ravenous Devourers, and liberate trapped souls.

A vast, surrealistic world: Witness through Gaia's perspective the haunting, desolated landscapes that powerfully illustrate humanity's destructive relationship with nature, rendered through stunning abstract artistry. From withering forests to the ruins of collapsing cities, across barren ocean floors and poisoned skies, every environment introduces fresh challenges for Gaia to overcome and reveals new facets of the devastation left behind by the Devourers, even as she breathes life and beauty back into each corner of the world.

A story of contrasts: After Us delivers a sobering portrait of a world ravaged by human influence. As you channel Gaia's guiding light through the darkness and unravel the origins of this widespread destruction, you will come to understand the Devourers not only as harbingers of extinction, but also as symbols of advancement, love, and the enduring possibility of hope.

After playing I immediately recycled my plastic and paper, hugged a tree, and planted a veggie garden in my backyard. 10/10 would save all the animals again :D

Not finished yet, but I’m already in love with this game. Some platforming sections can be a bit tricky, but they’re never frustrating — and most of the time, the visuals are absolutely stunning. The main message is

Bought it, realised it didn't have keyboard and mouse support. Ok no worries, I have a ps5 controller to work with. Only to discover the game only supports 1 type of controller and its not ps5. Seems kind of silly to

I can't believe this game doesn't have more reviews, as such I had to come leave one. This game is beautiful, heartbreaking, and wonderful all at the same time. It takes a bit to piece together the lore, but man once it

Really loved this one. The world is gorgeous and the style is super unique. Gameplay is simple but fits the tone — you’re not here for fast action, it’s more about the atmosphere and message. It’s a sad but beautiful
