Sim Heaven & Hell.

<span class="bold">Afterlife</span>, a Lucasfilm god game, a GOG.com digital premiere, is available now for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux--DRM-free on GOG.com.

<span class="bold">Afterlife</span> is... a weird game. It's so many things at once, and a few brand new concepts to boot. The premise is an otherworldly twist on SimCity - you're in charge of supplying a satisfactory afterlife experience to the inhabitants of the Planet. The Planetfolk, called EMBOs (or Ethically Mature Biological Organisms) and their SOULs (Stuff of Unending Life) need to be fully supplied with all the pleasure or pain they've earned in life - that includes an absolutely divine final reward, or a sadistic punishment. With plenty of structures, a complex tenet system (watch out for those HOHORALFSUMAists!), and extremely detailed sim mechanics - <span class="bold">Afterlife</span> is a unique, satirical god game to die for.

The game includes the official Reference Guide, courtesy of our forum friend EnforcerSunWoo. (Thank you!)

Don't fear the reaper, fear the disco inferno in <span class="bold">Afterlife</span>, a digital premiere now DRM-free on GOG.com!

Where's your 1,000 game celebration? ;)

Not sure when it hit that number, but I swear yesterday it was only 998...

Sneaky buggers!

Very nice release. I continue to be a tad disappointed that the "definitive" versions of TIE Fite and X-Wing still aren't here, but Seth Davis tweets keep hope alive.

Cool someone who is a fan of both. How does this compare to SimCity? This is going to be hard to describe but one of the reasons SimCity 2K works is that it looks relatively good for it's age. Someone mentioned Dungeon Keeper earlier and I could never get into that because the graphics are just too rough given what you have to do in the game.

Does that make any sense!? XD

In SimCity I can actually tell buildings apart where with other games it's like, okay what's that green blob and whats the gray one? How does Afterlife fit into this?

More LucasArts is definitely appreciated. Keep 'em coming, Disney!

Also the original versions of Monkey Island 1 and 2 would be nice, hopefully we'll see them here as well.

Oooh, I've always wanted to try this one!

I had the same issue with dungeon keeper. There is a. Mod you can find in the game forum which sharpens things up a lot. Saved the game for me.

The game's graphics are as good as SC2000's, possibly a bit better, even. All of the buildings are very lovingly designed and drawn with quite a bit of detail. It's sometimes hard to see individual ones when you have a whole block of the damn things, but the beauty in this game is that you can click on every single one of them to open a little window with a neat picture of the building and an extensive (and often hilarious) description of what it does. I remember, for example, a punishment structure for people who played video games and it was shaped like a giant joystick.
