Adventures of Keith Night: After a Shadow
Keith Night wakes up in a gutter. Having no memories of getting there, Keith
has to track the events of the previous night, but he has no idea of the
events to come. Later on Keith finds out that the events are part of his
inspections of the murder of his only close friend, Walter Stillman. This
leads him into a chase of his nemesis-to-come, Big Jackson. The story is told
almost completely subjective from Keith’s point of view, excluding
conversations. Along with Keith, there are only 3 main characters lined up
with the story.
After a Shadow is a short noir adventure in a comic-like style, made as a
part of the developer’s Bachelor’s Thesis. It was fully created with Adventure
Game Studio. The game is a classic point’n click adventure a little in the
vein of Discworld Noir and such. The interface of the game is similar to
Revolution’s Beneath a Steel Sky, where you use only the two mouse-buttons to
interact with the world and inventory.
