After the Fall

About

After the Fall is a VR action game where players battle through a frozen, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Set 20 years after civilization’s collapse, you join a group of survivors fighting off hordes of Snowbreed, undead creatures whose biological byproducts keep humanity alive. Play solo or with up to three others as you scavenge, defend outposts, and harvest resources in a world where every mission blends gunplay, strategy, and survival mechanics. The game’s focus on co-op means teamwork is key whether fending off waves of enemies or navigating icy ruins. The game’s seamless multiplayer and shared world design stand out, letting players interact with global opponents and allies dynamically. Vertigo Games’ experience shines through in polished VR mechanics and a gripping narrative about resource scarcity and human resilience. While some compare it to Arizona Sunshine, After the Fall adds deeper base-building and a morally gray story about relying on your enemies for survival. With support across major VR platforms, it’s a high-stakes choice for groups looking to test their coordination in a brutally cold world.

Storyline

In a world that’s been left to its own devices after The Fall, a small pocket of humanity survives underground, living off rebuilt technology and scraps of the past. Twenty years have passed since society collapsed during the 80s and 90s, and mankind helped itself into oblivion by fighting each other, instead of focusing on the Snowbreed. A lesson well-learned for the survivors, who realized that the rules of modern civilization no longer mattered and finding a new way of life was necessary. One of humanity’s last bastions, The Line, is based in an abandoned subway station in Downtown Los Angeles. It serves as a base of operations for the Harvest Runners, an organized division of combat-ready civilians to not just defend against the undead snowbreed, but harvest them together. The snowbreed carry a substance inside their bodies that humanity has been using since the Fall to stay alive. It is the evolutionary irony that the one thing that turns humans into snowbreed is what they also need to survive. In controlled doses, it’s what keeps their bodies functioning in the freezing cold; without it, they will freeze up and turn. Beyond that, that same substance is used for other purposes, such as raw fuel, refined into power cells for electronics and vehicles. In order for humanity to move forward, the snowbreed must be harvested. And that’s where you come in. After spending years as an independent scavenger, barely surviving on your own, you find yourself in an abandoned base. Things aren’t as bad as they were during the Fall, but then again; there is hardly anyone left anymore to make it as bad until an incoming radio transmission wakes you up.
