In 2012 game composer Joey Grady heard music from beyond his father’s grave.

for how he might call back across the veil.

for how he might call back across the veil.
The After is a 3D action-adventure game built upon the music, story, and mystery of Joey's real-life album. In this tale, the songs shared by a son and father from beyond aren’t just music, but the very language of their souls, the source code that this purgatory world is built upon.
In order for Joey’s dad, Don, to destroy The Shadow and leave echoes of his spirit to the living world, this code must be learned, mastered, and broken - defying the nature of this ethereal reality.
