An open world adventure game filled with silly characters and terrible secrets. Afterplace is an adventurous indie game for mobile devices. It's a huge open world, full of hidden secrets, treasures, and creatures. You'll run around the woods, fight monsters, and talk to ostensibly shady characters! All from your pocket! Be warned though - you never know what the forest might be hiding, and not all trails are paved. Labyrinths and dungeons are tucked away in the most concealed nooks. There are no waypoints in Afterplace. You'll have to forge your own path. Afterplace has been designed from the ground up to be a fast, fluid, beautiful experience for mobile. There are no virtual buttons. You can move and attack by touching anywhere. You can tap objects directly to interact or attack, use two thumbs like a traditional controller, or control the game with a physical gamepad. The game will adapt dynamically to your play style. Pick up and set down the game at your own pace, it will always save your progress. Afterplace is made to feel like a full-fledged indie adventure game that fits in your pocket. About the Author: Afterplace is made by one person, Evan Kice. A former software engineer from Austin TX, Evan quit his job (to the dismay of his friends and family) and has been working full time on Afterplace since early 2019. The initial game released in December of 2022, but Evan plans on continuing to support and polish the game when he can!

About

Mazor

Read full description

The maze never changes. You do. Mazor is a pocket roguelike where every floor is fixed: learn its halls, treasures and traps, and your next descent starts with a real edge. Your knowledge is your best upgrade. Your health is a candle: it never regenerates. Every fight, every detour burns light. Do you take the elite guarding a new skill — or run for the stairs while the flame still holds? YOUR BUILD FIGHTS FOR YOU Combat is automatic — your decisions happen before it. Skills fire on triggers: at combat start, on critical hits, on dodges, on kills. Fire spreads, frost makes enemies brittle, shields swallow blows, blades answer back. Five skill families, countless combinations — and fire melts frost, so pick a side. EVERY DEATH PAYS FORWARD All gold banks to your permanent hoard — every run is a real attempt, never farming. Buy lasting upgrades, unlock new characters, and push your best mark one floor deeper. THE DAILY DELVE Once a day: a fresh maze, identical for everyone. One attempt, one leaderboard, one excuse to gloat. • A fixed, learnable maze — knowledge is progression • Automatic combat driven by your build • Elites guard new skills, bosses hoard relics • Permanent progression: upgrades and five characters • Daily Delve with a global leaderboard • Fully localized in English and German • No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required The maze remembers. Do you?
