Playing Afterparty, you’ll quickly realize that Milo and Lola’s night is about to revolve around drinking in a pretty big way, so of course there’s going to be a way for all that alcohol to affect gameplay. Talky Drunk, Sloppy Drunk, or Party Drunk To challenge Lucifer to the drinking contest of an after-lifetime, they’ll need to be invited to the super-exclusive party at his house, and the quest that follows will introduce Milo and Lola to an assortment of strange folks and even stranger brews.
As is usually the case with loopholes, however, this is easier said than done. If they can manage to out-drink the devil himself, they’ll be allowed to leave. It’s thanks to Sam, a friendly demon cab driver, that the pair learn of a loophole that will get them out of Hell. and all the demons clock out and go home, leaving Milo and Lola to explore the islands of Hell and party the night away. Just as they’re about to finish up their booking and find out how they met their untimely demise, the clock strikes 6:00 p.m. As they make their way through Hell’s intake process, Milo and Lola are dead-set on finding out two things: how they died, and how they can get back topside. From the beginning, the two childhood friends aren’t convinced they belong here, and can you blame them? If I ended up in Hell I’d probably be in denial at first, too. You see, Milo and Lola’s death has landed them directly in Hell. Thanks to the law of equivalent exchange (or karma, or just plain bad luck), however, there’s also a downside to being dead.

Lucky for them that means they’re free of whatever tens of thousands of dollars of student-loan debt they had coming their way. Milo and Lola are dead, which is a real bummer, since they’ve just graduated college. I’ll admit, the theme initially took me by surprise – drinking my way through Hell honestly didn’t feel like my cup of tea at first, but the vibrant neon visuals combined with a short soundtrack clip in the very first teaser had me hopeful that what seemed to be a departure from the low-key supernatural would at least be a strikingly stylish endeavor. The story-driven game built on a natural-dialogue system had me enthralled from the get-go, so it’s no surprise that I’ve been eagerly looking forward to Night School’s followup, Afterparty, since it was announced. I’ve sung many, many praises of Night School Studios’ Oxenfree here on Nintendo Wire over the last few years.
