Sometimes a great location is all it takes to make a game really shine. Pitstop in Purgatory is the perfect example of that, presenting players with a compellingly weird version of the afterlife that's full of mystery and intrigue.
I took on the role of Astrid, a young woman who dies at the beginning of the game. Death is just the beginning, though, as she wakes up in a strange place—neither heaven nor hell, but somewhere in between—and must figure out how to keep going forward.
Pitstop in Purgatory has a unique vision of what life after death is like. And it presents that vision with an outstanding, painterly art style that's not quite like anything else I've witnessed before.
As for the gameplay, this is traditional adventure game/visual novel stuff, with relatively simple logic puzzles and long conversations with oddball characters. There are multiple endings, though, and the whole thing only takes a couple hours to play through. It's a journey to the other side that's well worth taking.
