Later On

I still find it hard to believe that this game was developed by a single person. So much going on in this one, let me explain. This could easily be one of the most unique plots that I've played in a game. From start to finish, every second was full of contemplation, decision making and most important of all-plenty of your own lessons to take, which might be valid for "real Davids" out there. Facing your own perilous past, accepting goods/bads for what's worth, and finding the needed closure in your life is the main story of this game. While unearthing sad story of David through very fun puzzles, you are also helping him to get to his own closure. Set and setting really differentiates this game from other hordes of the same genre, in which you feel immersed by smart story telling, scenes, lightings and fun dialogs. Replaying your hurtful past on stage in front of watching audience? Check. Dead whales? Check. Mermaids? Check. Facing your nagging mother? Check. All the music in the game was composed from scratch and you just could tell how much work went into them, which changes according to tempo of every scene and at every turn of the story. Goose bumps all over... If you enjoy playing high quality indie games, you CANNOT miss "Later On". Even ones who are not fan of the genre will find something in the game that will echo their lives. HIGHLY, STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Not a miss, this one!

Хоррор-квест, сделанный на RPG Maker. Это не RPG/JRPG, это настоящий приключенческий квест! Ходим, исследуем мир, подбираем и применяем предметы, решаем загадки. В этой игре нет оружия, тут вместо него слова, а вместо сражений с монстрами - диалоги. Поэтому потребуются знания английского языка. У персонажа есть инвентарь и карта. Сохранятся можно в любой момент. Это очень удобно, учитывая, что умереть тут можно мгновенно, когда рядом появляются монстры. Сделаете неправильный выбор в диалоге, не успеете отбежать или просто подойдете к тому, кого лучше обойти, и игра заканчивается. Поэтому лучше чаще сохраняться. Отличный квест с жутким сюжетом! Графика типична движку RPG Maker, но звуки и музыка хороши. Они придают атмосферу ужаса, как и жуткие рожи монстров.

Later On is a very good and fairly short game with an excellent narrative and atmosphere. The psychological horror element is almost tangible and the music helping to create it is very disturbing when needed. I enjoyed the game greatly, the developer did a very thorough and good job! A thousand blessings upon you ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡ The only issue I had with the game (? may be something wrong with py PC though) were achivements, for some reason they didn't unlock for me even though I'm sure at least some of them were supposed to (both towel options, for example).

3小时不到就玩完了。还行吧。就是有点闷，任务还是很好做的

One of the most pleasant games so far i have ever played. The story interesting and the musics are awesome. I had some hard time solving some of the puzzles but the good thing is that you dont get bored of trying :) The question-based fighting is brilliant idea of the developer. 2$ is nothing when you compare it to the fun you get. Finding the chance of helping David was really cool and the game is definitely perfect. Thanks and congratulations to developer, hope the game finds its deserved place among others. I strongly recommend the game to all players without any concern, you will have a lot of fun!

"Later On" is a great mix of narrative-driven walking simulator and absurdist quest that sometimes can be challenging but never becomes too hard. It have its own flaws, but the positive impression from it is still outweighs its shortcomings. I can even say, it's a shame that this project still remains unknown for the broad audience. Its story may seem nonsensical on the first playthrough, but on the second playthrough all the pieces of a puzzle meet together: there is a lot of hints of what's truly going on in the dialogues from the first half of the game - they seem surreal and unclear before you know how the story truly ends, but after that they sort things out perfectly. Dialogues, key scenes and puzzles of "Later On" are magnificent, and at the end of two hours of gameplay I was completely charmed by them. These parts of the game are always surprising and they often end in unexpected ways - that's the level of originality that can rarely be seen in modern quests. Witty writing completes the picture perfectly. If you're searching for a simple story, "Later On" may frustrate you on the first walkthrough, but if you're searching for a good time, it may give you two hours of surprises with happy ending before titles, and it's a rare thing for RPG Maker VX Ace game that costs less than 1.50$. Dark humour, absurdism, trashy horror (1st hour) and "more serious" psychological horror (2nd hour) elements included.
