132. Afterparty

Afterparty is a game I went into with very high expectations after how positively received Oxenfree (which I may or may not have played) was. The concept of the game, in which two recently deceased friends find themselves in hell, and decide to try and escape hell by beating Satan in a drinking contest. Solid idea, interesting characters, and the game defines itself by a sort of Telltale-esque moral choice system, where every objective can be passed by one of two ways. The issue here is that the choices are largely morally grey, since, y'know, you're in hell, but the game doesn't recognize any of the choices as morally grey. There is specifically a right and wrong answer, which basically always results in sacrificing your own attempts to help out some demons. Only, other friendly demons will turn against you if you make the choice the game wants you too. Eventually you get to Satan, and there are two endings: you can beat him, resulting in the game just kinda ending without a real ending, or you can lose to him or choose to stay in hell, which is the true ending, to the point that you have to wonder why the game even has a choice. The story is cool, but the morality system drops the ball.

Fez is an extremely cool game mechanic with a pretty good soundtrack that I frankly can't think of much more to say about. It's very neat.

Apotheon doesn't have the most unique gameplay, especially compared to some of the more interesting gimmicks and mechanics featured on this list. What it memorable gameplay, it makes up for with one the most memorable 2D art styles I've seen in a game, basing everything on ancient Greek artwork. It's also a very cool God of War-esque story of a mortal Nikandreos trying to kill the gods, and succeeding in doing so, with all of Earth left in ruins along the way, and Nikandreos taking over as the new god tasked with recreating humanity from scratch. Even though the gameplay wasn't quite my thing, and the game felt a bit dull at times, I feel like it would rank much higher for me if I'd played it more recently.
