After is a game about telling a shared story in both the past and the present. The main arc of the story is set in the present, with brief expositive forays into the past. Players will each manage two versions of their character. In the present, a relatively complex and powerful character. In the past, a relatively simple yet effective adventurer whose story is just beginning.
