After the Inferno

I was bored before the action. A very annoying and boring game, instead of being relaxing.

Literally one of the worst games I've ever played on steam. Gameplay is a bunch of braindead text, character models and art are garbage quality, waste of money uninstalled right away

The story is a good one and a pleasant diversion from the usual horror, active fighting and complex decision making found in most games. Sometimes it is just fun to relax and to follow a good story.

This devs first game. I played their follow-up projects first and game back for this one. Honestly pretty good. They definitely kept the same pattern of well balanced story with several intimacy options and pathways. I'd definitely recommend this as a your "First time" adult game and then enjoy and even greater experience with this developers 2nd and 3 games, Projekt Passion (Pt. 1 & 2).

为什么我才万半小时，卡在审问那个男的然后女主被关在牢里，回忆完之后，没动静了，质量很高，但是我继续玩不了我很难受，界面就这几个按钮

Limited gameplay, but great immersion. Easy recommendation — especially for a free game. [/quote] After the Inferno is a mature fantasy visual novel — but unlike many in the genre, this one actually puts effort into its writing. The gameplay loop is simple: Read the story. Make occasional choices. Unlock scenes and progress toward one of two endings. That’s it — classic visual novel structure. But where the game stands out is its narrative depth. The story is genuinely engaging, with well-written characters, strong dialogue, and a world that feels alive. Yes, it leans into classic fantasy tropes — powerful protagonist, multiple relationships, familiar dynamics — but it does it well. There are branching paths and choices, though they mostly converge into two main endings. Still, the journey matters here, not just the outcome. For a free game, the level of writing and overall cohesion is honestly surprising. You get invested, you want to see what happens next, and that’s already a win. Visually, it’s solid but not top-tier. Character designs are good, especially the female characters, but you can tell it’s not pushing technical limits. Still, it’s clean, consistent, and does the job. Audio is a strong point: music adapts to situations, with good atmosphere — emotional, epic, or tense when needed. It adds a lot to immersion. There’s also a gallery/archive system to revisit unlocked content, which is always a nice bonus.

The story and world-building is very well done; the sex-scene are almost a distraction for a truly small gem. Highly recommend.
