After the Worst is a Ren'Py adventure from Croqs, played as Roman and his roommate Sofia. On a warm summer night, loud blasts rock the city, and the two, who had hardly spoken before, must cooperate to survive another day. The game uses point-and-click style choices and 2D CG visuals, with adventure, fantasy, and horror themes.
Development is ongoing with v0.02, released July 29, 2026, for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android. It is available in English and Ukrainian and is uncensored. This build advances the main plot, adds fresh scenes and conversations with Roman and Sofia, new characters, additional narrative choices, and mechanics tied to player decisions. A tracking system for answers, actions, trust, and relationship shifts is included, while early choices now show visible effects. It also adds illustrated scenes, refined artwork, bug fixes, technical improvements, and a full English translation for new material. Some consequences appear immediately, while others are reserved for future updates.

v0.01
In this build, you can see the game's framework; it has a little bit of everything: a city map with just one location (for now), and an inventory with a small amount of loot (for now). The random number generator and the messages displayed on the screen—I know it doesn't look very impressive, but I had to tinker with these thing.
