Aftemath Is A New Survival Horror Game Pitting Players Against An Alien Invasion

Aftermath is a survival horror video game developed by One-O-One Games. Meta Publishing has pulled back the curtains on it. The player controls an astronaut returning to Earth from a mission, only to discover that the planet has been overthrown by aliens.

Charlie Gray is left alone after an unsuccessful reentry to Earth. But she’s driven by the singular goal of finding her missing child. She’s up against an intimidating extraterrestrial menace, specifically an invisible hunter tracking her every move. Charlie has to defeat this enemy in order to survive. She also faces more direct threats, such as the shambling corpse-like creatures that engage in third-person fighting. Charlie may not be a soldier, but she is a brilliant engineer, using those skills to concoct blueprints for tools by examining everyday objects. She can be compared to a McGyver. As a survival game, managing Charlie’s nutrition, hydration, and mental health are vital.

Aftermath’s foreboding presentation and atmosphere come courtesy of artist Alessandro Bavari, art designer for Covenant with Alien. You’ll find original music from Planet Funk and Unkle on the soundtrack. 

Aftermath is a great game to watch. It will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2022.
