About This Game

Ragnarok came and went — but the end was only the beginning.
In After the End, you are a lone survivor wandering the scarred remnants of Midgard, a once-glorious realm now swallowed by ruin, silence, and the restless dead. The gods are gone. The world tree burns. What remains is up to you to piece back together.

Explore the desolate north, from ash-covered villages and frostbitten fjords to forgotten shrines and cursed barrows. Reclaim weapons of legend, commune with fading spirits, and choose your path in a world that remembers your every choice.

Forge your legend in a hand-crafted 2D RPG inspired by Norse myth and gritty survival. With weighty combat, branching quests, and ancient mysteries to uncover, After the End is a tale of endurance, memory, and the quiet hope that something better might yet grow from the ashes.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains depictions of violence, death, and unsettling themes. Combat includes blood effects and the use of weapons such as axes and swords. Some environments depict corpses, ruined villages, and supernatural horror elements inspired by Norse mythology.

While not overly graphic, the tone is somber and mature, dealing with loss, survival, and the aftermath of catastrophic events.
