Shadow Council PTY has launched the closed alpha test for Afterglow, their upcoming mobile sandbox MMORPG set in a gritty yet neon-drenched post-apocalyptic future. With its distinctive visual style, here are all the details on how to secure your spot.
How to Join the Afterglow Closed Alpha Test
The alpha test is currently live. To participate, register via the official playtesting access form released by Shadow Council PTY. Upon approval, you will receive links to a testing guide and terms of service.
Participants can also submit anonymous feedback directly to the developers through a dedicated form. This offers a unique opportunity to explore Afterglow before its public release, refine game mechanics, and influence the final product's development.
Game Story & Setting
Seventy-seven years after a devastating nuclear war, the story unfolds in the American Southwest. Players assume the role of a refugee striving to build a new life in an environment devoid of order and modern comforts.
Breaking from traditional MMORPG formulas, Afterglow features a semi-idle gameplay loop. Engage in quick five-minute sessions, delegate tasks to your squad, and log out while the game continues processing actions in the background.
Explore the Wasteland through various activities: scavenging abandoned villages, harvesting resources, or battling hostile factions. Combat utilizes a strategic turn-based system displayed on a dedicated interface.
Visually, the game blends post-apocalyptic decay with 1980s synthwave aesthetics. Expect vast deserts, rusted technology, flickering neon signs, and retro cassette tapes, all contributing to a harsh, DIY atmosphere defined by scarcity.
Additional features will be introduced following the conclusion of this alpha phase. In the meantime, check out our latest update on Watcher of Realms 2nd Anniversary.
