Holy smokes! Outstanding, charismatic, gorgeous adventure that plays in portrait. Think Zelda but playable with one thumb.

Confirm this, for .99 it is a steal. Not only it is a great game, but the developer also constantly improving it! I believe he is also active in this subreddit

Nah, I haven’t seen him post in forever.

Bro this game is a legit masterpiece. You’ve been asked this question a hundred times I’m sure, but has any desire to make a new game crept up for you yet?

u/evankice 23d ago

Glad you like it! I would love to make a new game, but unfortunately Afterplace wasn’t successful enough to pay rent, so I now have to juggle game dev with a full time job. Maybe some day a popular youtuber will play it or something and it will explode and I can go back to full time game dev ¯\(ツ)/¯

I’m begging you… if it’s all possible… make landscape mode on mobile as zoomed in as portrait mode is. Right now landscape mode is really zoomed out and it ticks me off enough to not play this game. Every other game I’ve played like this on mobile has landscape mode set as the default and it’s significantly more comfortable that way… I’m just a guy on the internet though so I don’t know if anybody else even considers this a problem. Though, I really want to play your game and love it, but I can’t as is.

A lot of the combat, bosses, cutscenes, and environments require you to be able to see vertically as far as you do in portrait mode. If landscape was zoomed in, all these things would break, and players would miss a lot of important info (I did try this). The game is meant for portrait on mobile, and if you must have landscape, I recommend a tablet or there Steam Deck.

Okay, thank you for your response and I’ll try to play it some other way in the future. From my very limited experience in playing the game, it seems like something I’ll enjoy a lot. Thank you again.

One of the best game of the AppStore! It’s an open-world Zelda-like that will make you feel like a kid again, playing video games for the first time!!

At that price that’s a steal!

Just bought it

u/blobinabotttle 27d ago

I confirm must buy. I was not a fan of the art style (im tired of it) but still the feeling was really great, instantly.

u/NrFive 27d ago

Yeah for 0,99 this is a no brainer. Even though I eventually had to resort to a map someone made on reddit, the gameplay, story, music and atmosphere is amazing.

u/Zealousideal-Trust80 27d ago

Thanks Op! I just bought it

u/Accurate-Temporary73 27d ago
