Sim Heaven & Hell.

<span class="bold">Afterlife</span>, a Lucasfilm god game, a GOG.com digital premiere, is available now for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux--DRM-free on GOG.com.

<span class="bold">Afterlife</span> is... a weird game. It's so many things at once, and a few brand new concepts to boot. The premise is an otherworldly twist on SimCity - you're in charge of supplying a satisfactory afterlife experience to the inhabitants of the Planet. The Planetfolk, called EMBOs (or Ethically Mature Biological Organisms) and their SOULs (Stuff of Unending Life) need to be fully supplied with all the pleasure or pain they've earned in life - that includes an absolutely divine final reward, or a sadistic punishment. With plenty of structures, a complex tenet system (watch out for those HOHORALFSUMAists!), and extremely detailed sim mechanics - <span class="bold">Afterlife</span> is a unique, satirical god game to die for.

The game includes the official Reference Guide, courtesy of our forum friend EnforcerSunWoo. (Thank you!)

Don't fear the reaper, fear the disco inferno in <span class="bold">Afterlife</span>, a digital premiere now DRM-free on GOG.com!

I heard about this game but never played it. Looks like a nice god game. Wishlisting.

This looks nice. On to the wishlist (until I have time this evening to have a closer look at it) :D

It's a pretty fun game with lots of great humour, but probably too complicated for its own good. Basically, it's almost exactly like Sim City 2000, except with more zones; and you're building two different "cities" at the same time.

I've never heard of this. It looks like Sim City 2000 gone to Hell, but in a good way.

Just after I saw today's noon release on GOG I wrote to my wife that she saved (again) some cash ...Now it seems I will have to revoke this statement :-P

Is that the DOS or the Windows version?
Posted April 09, 2015
I still have my disc version, which includes both the DOS and Windows versions. Not sure which version the GOG version uses, but I remember both versions being identical down to the last detail. I recently played it in DOSBox just because I knew it would be more stable.

To be honest, I could never really get into it like that. After you get past the frankly hilarious tutorial, it becomes a by-the-numbers city management sim whose mechanics very quickly become transparent.
