Rebuild Humanity After a Zombie Apocalypse in After Inc
From the creators of Plague Inc comes After Inc, a new game tackling the aftermath of a global pandemic. Instead of spreading disease, players now face the challenge of rebuilding civilization after the Necroa Virus has ravaged humanity.
A New Kind of Challenge
Described as a blend of strategic simulation, survival city builder, and mini 4X, After Inc tasks players with establishing settlements and shaping post-apocalyptic society. The game offers a more hopeful outlook than its predecessor.
Gameplay involves gathering resources and leading humanity towards a brighter future, despite the ever-present threat of zombies. Designer James Vaugn aims for a “happy and optimistic” experience, emphasizing the lush and beautiful world where survivors rebuild their lives.
Availability
After Inc is currently available for free on iOS and Android (with in-app purchases) and will launch on Steam in 2025. This offers a stark contrast to the ethically complex success of Plague Inc during the 2020 pandemic, a period the creator acknowledged as awkward due to the game’s unintentional relevance.
