    Enjoyable with a good sense of story, characters, and some sharp writing, Afterdream keeps its suspense tight amid horror elements that are more fun than horrific. I love a couple of the mechanics in play, like that of the inventory and the camera. But the pacing is a problem and I’ve spent time killing for swifter movement.

    If you’re looking for a quick jaunt through a beautifully haunting 2D world then Afterdream is a solid choice. While it’s a shame the game doesn’t lean into scares quite as much as we’d have liked, the atmosphere makes up for this and the puzzles should keep you engaged from start to finish.

    As far as I am concerned, the game has been a pleasant journey through the world of dreams, with fantastic creatures and tormented souls that take shelter in games like this, exploring the different worlds in which we can find ourselves in this game.
