The World After is an indie adventure-RPG for PC and macOS that launched in November 2020. The game explores post-apocalyptic survival through a notably relaxed lens, positioning itself within a growing trend of "cosy apocalypse" fiction that finds appeal in the idea of abandoning conventional responsibilities and simply persisting in a world fundamentally changed.

Coverage suggests the game resonates with players drawn to gentler interpretations of dystopian scenarios.
