Black out, and you drop everything you carry — right where you fell. Wake up, and go back down for it. One ordinary afternoon, a meteor punched a gaping hole into the hills behind the school. Chasing a missing friend's last signal, a group of high-schoolers climbs down into it. After-School Crawlers is a hand-drawn pixel-art, one-finger real-time action dungeon crawler — hack-and-slash combat and character growth in a free-to-play dungeon RPG. ◆ The cost of blacking out What you dropped is still lying there when you wake at the ambulance. You can go back down and collect it — or black out again on the way. ◆ Real-time combat Move with the joystick, auto-attack nearby enemies, and swipe to dodge — cut through the swarm with your blade arts. ◆ Today's Adventure A short dungeon you can finish in five minutes. Retry as often as you like until you clear it — a failed attempt costs you nothing. ◆ Daily Challenge Every midnight, the exact same dungeon opens for every player on Earth. Three runs a day, no continues — pure skill on the leaderboard. ◆ Survival mode Hold a circular arena against enemies pouring in from every side, for 100 waves. Start bare-handed and pick up whatever you find on the ground. ◆ Classmates Talk to the classmates you meet in the dungeon, raise their affection, and they'll join you as new playable characters. Free trapped friends in rescue events. ◆ Fearsome bosses A giant centipede, an alien UFO, a cave cricket… deadly foes lurk deeper down. ◆ Codex Every monster you meet and every item you pick up fills in a page. Watch the silhouettes turn into pictures. ◆ The crater town Gear up at the weapon stall, the street-food cart, and the pawnshop, and train permanent upgrades to push further. ◆ No pay-to-win Gear and stats are never for sale. You can play through the entire game without spending anything — purchases only remove ads and add convenience. ◆ 12 languages supported How deep can you go? Descend into the crater now.
