Only After

Only After is an interactive story in which your decisions shape later events, branch the story into different paths and lead to different endings. After teenage girl Julie goes missing, psychiatrist Judy Williams and detective Michael Grady investigate the circumstances of her disappearance. Their only clue is David, Julie’s boyfriend, who is found in a nearby forest showing symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Through David’s testimony, Judy and Michael piece together the last days Julie was seen and try to discover where she is now.

The investigation

You explore the environment and search for clues that can help unravel the mystery. The story follows several characters in both the present and the past, and its events are not always what they seem. The game presents its scenes, animations and sequences cinematically, with you directing how the story unfolds.

The characters

David is young, adventurous and deeply in love with Julie; he would do anything for her, even against his own will. Julie is carefree, strong and somewhat selfish: someone you might want as a friend, but not trust with your deepest secrets. Michael, the detective in charge, is determined to solve the case, though he may not be the fittest person for the job. Judy must rely on her instincts as she works out who is telling the truth and who is lying.
