My review on (the free version of) this game (v0.4.2); I'll try to avoid spoilers.
What I liked
1. The nsfw is good I mean that's all anyone needs to know. Very good POV angles etc, the production quality is good.
2. Interesting plot (in both the "plot" sense and the actual plot), I've never played a game or come across a story with such a premise, and I thought it was fascinating.
3. Characters are quite likeable and I think the writing for character interactions was quite well done. I personally liked the phone messaging system; I think the messages really helped to flesh out the characters' personalities and how the characters bounced off each other, sometimes in funny ways.
4. Consistent dev log, always nice to see it
What I think could be better
Personally, I feel like the world-building could be a little more fleshed out.
1. Player is supposed to be a "guide to the afterlife", but only does it a handful of times throughout the whole game so far. It just feels weird when the game says stuff like "we've been so busy with our jobs so a vacation is nice" but there's really not that much guiding souls to begin with (so much so that half the cast have part time jobs). It feels like if this guiding procedure was a game mechanic built into the game (that actively disrupts the player's schedule etc since souls appearing is impromptu), the story might feel less rushed, player feels more busy etc. idk. Regardless, I think the latest alpha release seems to expand the plot a little more which is nice
2. Sometimes, the big climaxes in the story feel like they are anti-climatically addressed, or just wasted opportunities for character development. Examples include characters dropping massive story bombshells (e.g. Sy revealing her past about her failing her mission and lying about it), or something big is happening in the story and the characters are in really big trouble (e.g. Sy surrounded by enemies) and then things just.. resolve themselves in an anti-climatic fashion (e.g. the team just going "we'll be with you all the way Sy" without questioning her, enemies just giving up on their plans etc)
3. The characters feel like they are too attached to the living, and life in general. Many of the cast pick up part-time jobs, actively participate in society, and integrate themselves deeply into the living world. They are afraid of dying despite having died. The player himself goes around dating and mating with people who are still alive without a care for the future. Barring technicalities like "does the MC have a registered identity with the government", there are other, more fundamental questions left unanswered about the MC's future. Will the MC grow old, or is he immortal? Can the MC die, and what happens if they do? Will they disappear without warning? The game's main OST is sombre and depressing. It is a constant reminder that the player is piloting an MC who lives only because he was given a second life to serve as a guide to the underworld, a potentially dangerous job that involves facing aggressive souls and other sorts of phenomenon. But this notion is incongruous with the life the MC leads; not only is there a stark lack of any actual soul guiding (aside from watching his teammates beat up souls when it's convenient to the plot), the main gameplay is about fishing, cooking, gardening, dating, mating etc; it's a very carefree, paradisiacal lifestyle without worries for the future and I found that somewhat jarring.
All in all I like the game. Just sharing my thoughts haha
Wow, everywhere i look i see people constantly yakkng about ntr. I personally cna say i dont give a crap if it does or doesnt. It does not in any way affect me or my ability to enjoy a game or story.
SO why is it i see so many people worried if a game will have it or not. ANd no i dont care that it means "bad" stuff. Its all happening t fictional characters.
SO please explain to me why this has become such a common place concern
Because there are a lot of sensitive human beings. You have to look at it in a Visual Novel perspective not in a Porn/Hentai perspective.
NTR/Cheating is despised on and should never be normalized however there are people who even get triggered by the slightest chance of NTR happening.
We still have to understand that it is a kink and how i dislike BDSM and domination, which is in almost every VN respectfully and forced, i don't let it bother me. Sadly so, NTR seems to be a soft-spot on many people's minds.
Trying to use upload/download sync to transfer saves from my android to my pc, but I cannot find the download sync button anywhere on the pc version. Both are 0.4.2 public.
Guys I have a problem I can't see to download any game from itch.io. if I click download it doesn't ask for if it's okay to download or doesnt normally start to download. What to do? I enabled pop ups and everything but it still doesn't download. I can't still download other videos from chrome
I used mirror links too but they didn't work. I still can download other videos and pics from my browser. But no worries I was able to download from itch using a vpn
Perfect game honestly so far. Only thing I wish you thought of was the text. It's so hard to read it 80% of the time. It would be better if the text was black or was even in a black text box. Other than that. Really good game so far
Perfect game, really. But I don't understand one strange thing... Mechanics of "Third Eye" or how she named... No matter. This is mechanic use is once in the whole all game... This is really strange. With this mechanic, it would be possible to make the game more interesting I think
Apparently what I needed to do was have save data from v3.9 for it not to come up empty which is odd but now i'm definitely gonna try it out. Sorry took so long to respond i've been playing alot of harem games lately from this site.
One question, why are there like 3 people who don't appear as a love interest?, and why is it in the inventory if it's not a love interest, or maybe it will be?
hey aph, regarding Sy, i have completed the beach/vacation quest and she walked into the mc's room at night, had a stroll and kissed at the end. Still she isn't a love interest yet in the menu. Is there another event to make her one or was that it and it's just me having that issue? I'm on mac btw thanks in advance :)
That scene makes her a love interest. However, you can’t spend time with her yet, so it’s fine if it’s not showing in the menu that she is a love interest. But the affection rank should be 2
the scene was where she said she wants to tell the truth to the guides working with her and then there was the kiss. I haven't seen another scene with her. The relationship rank is also still 1
I've been looking forward to moments with Sy forever, and this new scene was absolutely endearing! Looking forward to the monthly updates, and thanks for your work on this, it's quickly becoming one of my favs!
Hey thanks for the game, it's entertaining as hell. I have a couple of questions from the newest update:
1. How do you Romance Sy? When Interact with her in the morning there's isn't an option to spend time with her or anything like that.
2. Noelle affection doesn't go up when I spent time with her, do I need to give her a gift or something?
3. How do you get more girls in the dating app? I got two one that loves dogs that suddenly stopped texting and the first one that said see you later lol.
4. How do you progress the story with Feya after the Karaoke "date"?
Anyway thanks in advance, this is by far one of my favorites games !!!
1) You don't rommance Sy, she rommances you! (Play the game and you will eventually unlock a scene where she becomes a love interest. In your room, during the morning)
2) That is a known bug. The animation won't play but the intimacy increase is still happening. Just keep spending time with her and you will eventually reach 100%. After that, you can unlock the new scene.
3) There are only two girls in the dating app right now. If the one that loves dogs stopped texting you, maybe you sent the wrong messages and she lost interest. The other girl has only one conversation for now.
4) That is the last part of her story for now.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am happy the game was of your liking!
Thank you for replying, the thing is I already did pretty much everything, So I don't know if Sy has already romance me. Is it when she invites the MC in the middle of the night for a walk? Or when she asks for a kiss?
no I didnt get a response that they aren't interested however I haven't received a response from her or the other girl that sent a text edit: also it says I still have quests but I've looked every and done all the events for each girl in the relationship tab
Hi, Noelle's evening event at the fishing pond is not triggering for me. I'm going to the outskirts during the evening, but nothing happens. I'm at Relationship Rank 5. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is this a bug?
There is a bug that prevents the animation to play whenever you gain intimacy with the girls. You are still getting intimacy points, even though the game isn’t showing it.
Just spend time with her and the scene will eventually happen.
Please let me know if the scene doesn’t trigger for you
Please do bring in impregnation. If ye rgonna bone a whole lot of ladies, make it even more worth the time and let us make lots of babies. XD AInt no point to sex IMO unless u gettig all the ladies pregnant. XD

Great review! I’ll do my best to improve 😁
Hi there when will version 0.4.3 be public please tell.
very, very soon!
thanks for the reply dev :)
Hey I'm just curious if this game has/will ever have NTR. I dislike it and don't want to play the game and get invested if that's a possibility
This game doesn't have ntr and i don't think it ever will.
I can confirm. The game will NOT have ntr
Wow, everywhere i look i see people constantly yakkng about ntr. I personally cna say i dont give a crap if it does or doesnt. It does not in any way affect me or my ability to enjoy a game or story.
SO why is it i see so many people worried if a game will have it or not. ANd no i dont care that it means "bad" stuff. Its all happening t fictional characters.

When is the public release? It’s the end of June
for some reason i cant increase my intimacy with noelle even though im going to my room in the afternoon. how do i fix that.
edit: nvm dont answer. im just stupid.
Oh, good. Why, that's very good. Yes, I like that.
Hello there.
Did not play your game yet.
But loved your UI Ideas.
Looking good!
when the new version for public release?
Mid June :)
Trying to use upload/download sync to transfer saves from my android to my pc, but I cannot find the download sync button anywhere on the pc version. Both are 0.4.2 public.
You need to manually place the save in your computer.
This should be where the saves are stored in your computer: %APPDATA%/RenPy/
But how do I get the saves off of the .apk on my phone?
Will any of the villians (Like Feya and Sara) become love interests? I recently started playing but I'm a bit curious <3
It is a possibility, yes. 😉
Guys I have a problem I can't see to download any game from itch.io. if I click download it doesn't ask for if it's okay to download or doesnt normally start to download. What to do? I enabled pop ups and everything but it still doesn't download. I can't still download other videos from chrome
Try using the mirror links, see if it’s a browser problem or an itchio problem
Mirror links should download from mediafire
I used mirror links too but they didn't work. I still can download other videos and pics from my browser. But no worries I was able to download from itch using a vpn

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question. But what is the difference between the normal and the mirror version?
I believe (Mirror) links are secondary links in case the primary ones don't work for some reason or other.
hello I still have the same problem unable to launch the game on MAC thank you for your answer
Hi!
Today another player reported this issue. The problem was that the mac version is sometimes missing vital files to run the game.
Could you please check if you have this file in your folder?
Afterlife_Harem.app->Contents->Resources->autorun->game->scripys.rpa
One solution could be freeing space in you computer.
Another solution could be to try downloading the game from the mirror version.
And finally, feel free to contact me on discord so I can send you those files myself.
Heyy, I wantet to ask how do I keep my loads from verson 0,4,1 to 0,4,
Hi!
Your saved data should be there when you download/install a newer version.
Oh okay thank you for your fast reply c:
Approximately how long will the public version be released after the early access/subscription tier?
7 - 10 days. Next public update should become available in a couple of days
Great, thanks! Really enjoying the game so far
"next couple of days" huh.
Well, I ain't complaining!
W Game
How to make these kind of 3d models? I mean, what's app are you using?
I am using Koikatsu for the characters and environments (renders), and Renpy for the game engine
Thx bro
Heyy, this game is awasome
but im stuck in the layla story's
how can i unlock this quests?
Hi! Thank you!
Just keep playing and you will eventually unlock and complete those two quests. You can’t miss them, so don’t worry. 😉
"MC harem" have grown since I left it, how is it going?
It's going well. New content, new features. You should give it a try :)
Every time I extract from the compressed files for windows it pops up an empty file folder is there a fix for this
Hi.
Could you try downloading from the mirror link?
I tried both and they seem to work fine for me.
Apparently what I needed to do was have save data from v3.9 for it not to come up empty which is odd but now i'm definitely gonna try it out. Sorry took so long to respond i've been playing alot of harem games lately from this site.
Will a fetish list be made for this game? Would like to know if certain content would be in it
There's nothing really extreme as far as I remember. No real fetish that's being shown. Just your run of the mill h scenes
Ah thats a shame. Was hoping for foot fetish stuff.
well there's at least one foot job scene
good to know, thanks
So, no preg?
Sorry, for my late response, but thanks for the response, and I have another question, why do you release your game in a Spanish version?
What do i do to get the New Years Eve! Quest
Do as the quest description says and then go to your room to sleep.
One question, why are there like 3 people who don't appear as a love interest?, and why is it in the inventory if it's not a love interest, or maybe it will be?
You are correct, they will become love interests in the future
Sorry, for my late response, but thanks for the response, and I have another question, why do you release your game in a Spanish version?

Hi!
The stroll scene is after she has a dream, right?
That scene makes her a love interest. However, you can’t spend time with her yet, so it’s fine if it’s not showing in the menu that she is a love interest. But the affection rank should be 2
the scene was where she said she wants to tell the truth to the guides working with her and then there was the kiss. I haven't seen another scene with her. The relationship rank is also still 1
Just keep playing the game and the scene will eventually unlock. You won't miss it as it happens automatically.
I've been looking forward to moments with Sy forever, and this new scene was absolutely endearing! Looking forward to the monthly updates, and thanks for your work on this, it's quickly becoming one of my favs!
🙂 I will keep working on making a great game!
hi there just wanted to drop in here for a sec to say
that you've made what i would say is one of the best games ive ever had the chance of playing 10/10
keep up the good work lad
Thank you so much!!! :D
So there is a quest for Noa where i need to go to the training field during the afternoon, but where is it? (Can only find the tracking field)
Yeah. It is the tracking field
Well i went there in the afternoon, but nothing happens
Try going to the Boutique in the evening.
Where is the boutique? I can't find it anywhere on the map.
Nevermind
Hey thanks for the game, it's entertaining as hell. I have a couple of questions from the newest update:
1. How do you Romance Sy? When Interact with her in the morning there's isn't an option to spend time with her or anything like that.

Anyway thank and I'll wait for the next updates.
It's when she walks with MC during the night. You can see a message saying that she has become a love interest. :)
how do I know it Cynthia lost interest
She will text you and tell you she is not interested.
Did you receive that message from her? There are two previous conversations to that one. She won’t ghost you
no I didnt get a response that they aren't interested however I haven't received a response from her or the other girl that sent a text edit: also it says I still have quests but I've looked every and done all the events for each girl in the relationship tab
It is good to take your time and not rush anything. So good on you for doing just that.
Thanks!
Hello, good morning, afternoon and evening ~ depending on what time you are reading my comment ~ a question ~ is there a Spanish version?
Good morning, afternoon or evening to you!
There is no Spanish version yet 😔
Thanks also and a question, to have the vid code, I have to subscribe to Patreon, right? And how much is the subscription?
Yes. You need to subscribe to Patreon or SubscribeStar.
There is a faq with all the information you need in the VIP app in the game’s phone
🙂
Hi, Noelle's evening event at the fishing pond is not triggering for me. I'm going to the outskirts during the evening, but nothing happens. I'm at Relationship Rank 5. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is this a bug?
Hi!
There is a bug that prevents the animation to play whenever you gain intimacy with the girls. You are still getting intimacy points, even though the game isn’t showing it.
Just spend time with her and the scene will eventually happen.
Please let me know if the scene doesn’t trigger for you
Yeah it worked. Thanks a lot!
Hola
Una pregunta , se va a poder conservar los datos de la antigua versión para poder jugarla en la nueva actualización o se tendrá que iniciar desde cero
Hola 👋
Tus datos se conservarán, no te preocupes
Is there anything else to do after the new year party??? Also this game is awesome
Hello!
Unfortunately, that is the end of the current version - that is if you already maxed every girl and unlocked every h-scene.
A new update is coming this month, on the 15th 🙂↔️
Thank you, can't wait for the update!!
Will there be impreg?
I am considering it
Please do bring in impregnation. If ye rgonna bone a whole lot of ladies, make it even more worth the time and let us make lots of babies. XD AInt no point to sex IMO unless u gettig all the ladies pregnant. XD
i need to get a 0.4.1 on kemon
Hi!What is "kemon"?
