Man I will be posting the video of my lets play on this URL by time people see it , it should have finished processing, nice work. A few typos but really cool dude and try editing the game itself but I dont think it has worked for me, the game works just not my attempt at editing the files with note pad lol which you can edit two files with wordpad/notepad dont make much different :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw8h_5Kppyw&feature=youtu.be Thanks again for this idea, I was hoping for a lil game like this to come along. Creative, repetitive but creative and funny. Not bad at all! I had fun
Thanks for the kind word. Indeed you can edit the text file as you wish but I think you can't go over the amount of lines there already are (fe. if there's 80 first name, then you can't have more than that)
The Aftermath is basically like Papers, Please. Granted, it's a stripped-down version of the game, but that's partially why I like it so much.
It's a game that isn't too serious. It has no deep political/social commentary like Papers, Please. You don't have to watch for a gorillion things while strategically keeping your family alive. It's a simple Heaven or Hell decision. That's it.
And that's why it's a good game.
The graphics aren't the best in the world, but in this case they don't have to be. The music is definitely inspired by Papers, Please, but it does give a good atmosphere without ripping off the game. The controls are as simple as the gameplay.
The only thing I would change would be the names. It seems like I'm looping through a limited database of names too frequently. A larger name bank would make it just a bit better.
Thanks a lot for the kind review. It's true that the database in general is extremely short and since the game was a game jam entry, it does have a major lack of content. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I had a really fun time playing this game and laughed the entire time as I tried to decide who would go to Hell and who would enter Heaven. Lots of quirky fun, click the link to check out the video to see for yourself! :D
I have a big problem that if you quit you can send your self to heaven or hell I only found what happens if you send yourself to hell you cant play the game again but I dont know what happens if you send yourself to heven because I cant
It's written in the description that you can press the H button for 3 seconds straight in order to reset the game and play again. Spoiler alert, the ending is not that different :P
I'm not sure to understand the issue here but D3DX9_43.dll is not the file you're gonna want to open, the one you should look for is The Aftermath.exe.
I think I fixed that problem, but now when I try to open the game there is an error "error 0xc00007b". I really wanna play it already haha I'm literally trying to do everything to make it work. It sounds like an awesome game
Greetings Ladies and Gents! I really wanted to give this game a try after reading the description as it seemed like a very interesting and unique idea! I really enjoyed this game though I will admit, I wish that the life info was a little more in depth, but I also understand that there's only so much that can go into something like this without turning it into a book! But even so, I did a Let's play of this game cause I enjoyed my so much that I hope anyone who's interested gets a chance to watch!
Thanks for playing it and thanks for the feedback! It's true that the game is more a proof of concept with very few content rather than a complete experience but I'm glad you still liked it. :)
oh I thought it was hilarious! I loved it! I wish that there was more too it I loved it so much! I really hope that there is more family to come or maybe even a sequal? Either way, great job! Keep up the great work
Sadly, I will not work on the game in the near future but I'm all ears and I'm willing to help as much as I can anybody who is willing to make an improved version.

You're most welcome! :) its cool to use to pass on time
Can u make a mac version plss??
Sadly, the engine I use doesn't allow it without the needed paid module.
Lol k
You can just crack it :P
That's also a viable option.
Man, those random stats can be funny :D
I had 11y old that apparently have killed his wife...
I don't know if in any modern day culture it's posible but your game said that in South Africa it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
besides that, game is great so keep a good work!
Haha yea they are purely random, it can make things rather funny or pretty awkward xD Thanks for playing it!

oh thanks. im an idiot
It said this game is not safe...
Just a regular problem with GameMaker games, the game is safe, you have my word for it.
Can confirm, game is a ton of fun and totally safe :)
Works fine for me
pls make more love it
Glad you liked it. Sadly, there's no plan on making more in the near future.
are you planning on creating any other games in the near future
I'm constantly making games and I enter game jams from time to time, so yes more games will come in the future for sure!
cause i want to give u credit and stuff like that but i dont know how
cause i want to give u credit and stuff like that but i dont know how
how do i leave a link if a want to make a youtube vid of this
Simply pasting a link to the game will do, thank you very much for willing to give credit.
PLEASE MAKE A MAC VERSION
I don't have what's needed for a Mac export, please refer to the handful of comments similar to yours :)
I think I'm an awesome judge of character! Haha, great game btw I wish there was more. You can fiind my playthrough here, https://youtu.be/agXlFb15754
Haha, thanks for playing!
I liked this idea! It had fun and difficult choices!

Thanks for playing!
This game is a lot of fun :D
Thanks a ton for playing it!
no problem the game is very good :)
I really loved the game! Hope you don't mind but I did a lets play of it
I sure don't mind, I thank you for it in fact. Feel free to link it here.
Why can't I download the D3DX_43.dll? I have windows 8 and when I open it from the file it shows up as a note(?)

I'm not sure to understand the issue here but D3DX9_43.dll is not the file you're gonna want to open, the one you should look for is The Aftermath.exe.
I did click on the The Aftermath.exe and it said it requiers D3DX9_43.dll
It should normally be included in the zip, was it the case?
I think I fixed that problem, but now when I try to open the game there is an error "error 0xc00007b". I really wanna play it already haha I'm literally trying to do everything to make it work. It sounds like an awesome game
Well that's an error message I've never seen, have you tried googling it? On the other hand, have you tried re-downloading the game?
I'm starting to think the game is not compatible with Windows 8 but that would be dumb, if another Win8 user could help confirm that.
Thanks for playing! It will most likely not receive any update in the near future, sadly.
Such a fun game, I love the different qualities and I love the papers please feel to it, are you planning on updating it?
Also, my playthrough is here:

Thanks for playing it. Sadly, I don't plan on updating the game in the near future.
Thanks a ton!
How do I play it again after I quit? because i still don't understand how to.
Once you open the game again, press the H key for 3 seconds straight and it should work.
thanks a lot man its a grate game and i wanted to play some more but it wouldn't let me
Found this game quite hilarious, especially some of the ages with some of the descriptions haha!
Come check it out!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIAVm8U28Tc

Short and sweet little game, very nice. There was a suspicious amount of 90 year old gamers though ha ha!
