In this game your girlfriend has just left you and your friend fell through the floor and got stuck. But that's not the worst of your problems. Somebody has sent nuclear bombs around the world and killed everything, including your parents.
Except, you survived. And a few people just got mutated a little bit, but anyway you've got to figure out just why it happened and also, how to get your friend unstuck from your trailer floor.
To put it mildly, this game is weird. Very, very weird. Though don't get me wrong it's also brilliant. Take for example the graphics. Which are hard to overlook. At first they look tacky but then you realise its part of the world. It's just how things are in AfterShocked! and if you can accept that, you'll find a very enjoyable game. If not then you'll find it hard to like this game at all, possibly.
The story in this game is cool. It beats most adventure games hands down in terms of scope (ie. blowing up the world before the game starts) and then it just rolls from there. The people you meet and interact with are cleverly done because most of them are indifferent to the world's destruction or to you actually wanting to talk to them so it makes for some difficult times hunting for clues. Though it does take some time, its usually worth it.
It needs to be said, though, that this game contains some mature dialogue and situations so don't play it while your kids (or parents) are around.
