About

The Day After: Origins is an open-world action and story-driven game, where the player’s decisions influence the storylines. Whether you’re playing in single or online with a friend, you’ll plunge into the mysterious universe of Grayfox Hill, a nearly bankrupt North American town kept under full quarantine due to an unknown bacterium which affects humans, transforming them into dangerous and contagious beings.

STORY
Coming back to his senses after several hours of absence, Noah Byers realizes that a bacterium is spreading around the town, which is now kept under full quarantine by the military forces. Noah’s objective quickly becomes to find Allison, his girlfriend who is missing since he woke up. In a world that starts to sink into madness, Noah will track down her every move since the incident in order to find her, helped and betrayed by the survivors, risking his life against the threatening mutants of Grayfox Hill.

This story is about nostalgia, determination, friendship, regrets, love and danger. It relates to survivors confronting their own past, struggling between their new life and the unsolved businesses of their old one. Even when the world collapses, some secrets just can’t be put to rest.

FEATURES:

OPEN WORLD
Enter a universe where realism is lord and master. Created with Unreal Engine 4 , the territory on which expends Grayfox Hill offers multiple places to explore and loot both day and night, but beware of the dangerous infected creatures who might be close… From abandoned buildings to the edge of the forest, the exploration of this world extends over a vast area, not only on the surface, but also in the underground. Grayfox Hill’s mines are dark and worrying places offering worthwhile tunnels to explore. Moreover, the eye adaptation technology is used when Noah walks in darker locations, increasing your immersion in this new universe.

ENEMIES
Grayfox Hill is crawling with enemies and dangers. As the threatening spore surrounds certain areas, the mutants are causing nightmares to the last survivors. Under the bacterium’s influence, an infected human body goes through three stages of evolution; newborn, outburster and reaper. These also are the three types of mutants you’ll meet in Grayfox Hill. Like if it wasn’t enough, a group of outlaws called the Dawn Breakers causes a lot of troubles around. With these outlaws and the infected people, you’ll get plenty of enemies to fight in The Day After: Origins .

STRATEGIES
Noah Byers is a young man of instinct who knows how to tilt his environment in his favor. Through the fights, the player is encouraged to use some of the elements around him to thwart his opponents and to slow them down. In addition to guns and long-range weapons, Noah can coat his bullets with substances with various effects, use close-combat weapons and create diversions. There are countless battle strategies available to you.

FIRE TRUCK
Commandeer the abandoned fire truck of the city and make it your home base. Barricade yourself during assaults and drive quickly from one place to another, but don’t forget to keep an eye on the gas, the mechanics and the tires, otherwise you might get stuck in the middle of an infected zone. Save your progression inside the truck and sleep to regain your strength.

CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES
One of the most important aspects of The Day After: Origins experience is about making choices. Every action or even inaction of the player will affect the storyline and the world itself. All the non-playable characters react and interact with Noah, in accordance to the reputation you build with your decisions. Even the landscape can be changed according to some of your choices.

KARMA
If all choices come with consequences, they also come along with karma points in our game. Karma points allow the player to unlock special abilities for Noah. Each choice makes the player earn or lose karma points. The total number of points can be negative if the player takes several bad decisions. Whether you choose the light path or the dark one, the skills you’ll access have been thought to fit with your alignment and habits in the game. Will you be the savior of this human crisis? Or will you be another kind of scourge in Grayfox Hill?

ONLINE
Experience The Day After: Origins alone or in team of two with its online coop mode. Fight multiple enemies together, save your partner’s life, trade items you found in the darkest corners of Grayfox Hill and take part of the exclusive side quests of the online coop mode.

The Day After: Origins ’ online 4 players coop mode is currently being developed. To be aware of all the news about the game, visit our website or join us on Facebook , Discord or Twitter .

The Day After: Origins reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Early Access Review 27.02.2018 The Website of the Game has been switched off. That leaves only Susppling that the Game is dead. :/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------18.02.2018 Note: All Players who voice negative Criticism in the Forum are blocked by the Developers. It is then no longer possible to interact with the Community. The Developers are now trying to market the Game positively again with foul Tricks. .......................................................................................................................................... 16.02.2018 Now it's official. The Sale of the Game is miserable and the Developers have little financial Means left to complete the Game. Either the Developers clamp behind the Game or it's only a Matter of Time before the Game disappears into Development hell. Actually a Shame, because the Idea behind the Game ist/was great. ............................................................................................................................................ 17.01.2018 Update Version 0.1.7E It just doesn't get any better. The Total Playing Time of the Game is still about 30min (until Noah's House), after which you can continue to drive around senselessly in the incomplete Landscape. Driving the Buggy Is also an Art in itself. Constant Frame Breakdowns and a felt driving on Ice with a miserable Camera setting make the Driving pleasure extremely difficult. Note: If you are in the Vehicle, it is not possible to access your Inventory. Poor Translations and the Contrasts in the Subtitles are also just underground. Since the Update, it is also no longer possible to access the Options menu in the Game. If you want to finish the Game, you can only do so through the Taskmanager. I had been so looking forward to the Game and even invested in Kickstarter at The time and what's on offer here is just sad. Constant Raffles from Keys and the currently greatly reduced Price clearly indicate that the Developers have already noticed that their Game is not so well received by the Community. Too bad for the Money invested. .................................................................................................................................................. 15.12.2017 Version 0.1.0 Oh my God. For Months I waited for the Game, the Release has been constantly postponed and now finally the time had come. After the Joy came the Disillusionment quickly. What is on offer here already borders very much on * * * * *. The Game is not even an indication Ready To Go. It is strongly reminiscent of a very bad DEMO. The currently very short Story ends after about 30min, after which you can explore the very unfinished World. The Graphic isn't the Burner, either. > > PS: I know it's an early access but I've already played significantly better Games at this Stage < < Unfortunately, the Game's Trailer is better than the Original. Many of the Scenes are not yet implied in the Game. Absolutely not recommended yet. I hope it gets better.
