Afterard: Command Your Own Space Colony

Shape the Fate of a New World

Afterard is a decision-driven strategy game where you lead a fragile space colony through uncertainty, conflict, and survival. Developed by Layrup, Afterard places you at the center of a living system where every choice carries weight and no outcome is guaranteed.

This is not a game about perfect decisions.
It is a game about consequences.

Core Experience

Strategic Colony Decisions

Manage resources, maintain social balance, and guide technological progress while facing moral dilemmas and unexpected events. Your decisions ripple through the colony, shaping its future in ways that are often irreversible.

Tactical Card-Based Combat

When diplomacy fails, strategy takes the lead. Engage in tactical, card-driven combat encounters where character abilities, card synergies, and timing determine the outcome. Each battle is a puzzle that rewards foresight rather than brute force.

Character Progression and Achievements

Develop key characters, unlock new abilities, and complete detailed missions that expand the game’s systems and narrative. A layered achievement structure rewards exploration, experimentation, and long-term planning.

A Living Narrative

Afterard blends strategy with storytelling. Choices made during management and combat influence story paths, character arcs, and the overall direction of your colony. No two playthroughs unfold in the same way.
