Completed Let's play - Afterfall: InAnity

[dextermorgan]

In all honesty, it doesn't look like it's worth the time. Thank you for your sacrifice of LPing it.

 

[Darth Roxor]

ENERGY LEGS

Easy does it. I gotta be careful

Huh?

Cannibals inc.

Let's take a stroll down this lovely alley, Albert

Or wait, maybe not. Someone is throwing explobarrels down from a roof.

Shit! I have to do something about this asshole

We take a detour through the booze villa

A random cannibal kicks down a door and receives three bullets to the face

Move that gear up

Another dude comes for a lead feast

Here's Johnny.

This just enables a shortcut out 'cause there were some electrical instakill cables lying around the ground floor, so we don't have to take the ladder.

And here's the fucker with the explobarrels. He also has an smg. And a fuckton of explobarrels next to him.

I guess... his plan backfired

The alley is now safe to pass through

more faggots on the way

dum de dum

Osnap

Albert quickly eliminates the junkies

Also, I like how in this place

This playground is right next to

This

Curses! This door is locked!

But some kind of cranelevator catches Albert's attention.

The dude inside is taken out

And Tokaj activates the lolevator

WE'VE GOT HOSTILES

But two chimeras break through the walls and attack the incoming cannibals. The manfools are confused and don't know whether to attack Albert or the mutants

And by the time they shake off the surprise, Albert is on the other side.

Great, more chimeras

Those fuckers are actually quite dangerous when you have to reload every two damn shots.

Cool.

Dumdedum

WHEN SUDDENLY

The 'building' on the left cracks in half and drops on Albert's head.

*dramatic shot*

It's all one big set! Everything's fake! But why...? What for?

Another area, another fight

Sum more ladders

Let's see if shoopin' this winch does anything

Indeed it does! It makes everything collapse, but at least Al can now get over the fence.

And shoop some madmen because that's what he does best

Moar like glass houses, amirite : x

Dum de dum

OSNAP

Let's see what's over here

A supahmarket. Time to do sum shoppin' ^__________^

But first we need to clear a way through by pushing some shelves

who created them or what for... But the city IS inhabited, so maybe present dwellers erected these structures. Out of the longing for the lost past, they tried to recreate buildings, places they remembered from before the war. To re-live memories and feel like home one more time. They're aggressive and display strong territorial instincts accompanied by xenophobia and hatred towards the people of the Shelter. They think that we had it easier... I don't know. Life here seems like a constant fight for survival among the ruins of what once was home... Guess this is how civilization looks like after a head-on collision with a nuclear warhead. Maybe the Shelter wasn't that bad after all?

Yup. It definitely wasn't. Especially with all those mutants and nazi guards, all after your arse.

Others had to die

Let's press on. Time to pop some moles with the revolver. But I guess I'll be conserving ammo for now.

Sup

Clean up on aisle 1!

After selling the cannibals some bullets, Albert leaves the mall.

Damn right, Tokaj. A van! Maybe it's working! Who cares that you already passed a METRIC FUCKTON of various other cars and it never occured to you that some of THOSE might be working, right? Right?

sigh...

BLAM!

Let's see...

Tokaj has some problems with opening the door, but he finally gets in and the screen goes black

Uh-huh. I wonder whether someone also left the keys inside, or Tokaj used his natural talent for hacking pre-war vehicles to start it.

Not to mention the driving part. I'm sure he had many occasions to drive a van in the shelter when he was doing house calls... oh wait

This car could use some bitchin' tunes

There's a large cave-in other there

uh...

The van falls straight into the cave-in

I ain't drinking and driving ever again

Now what is this place?

Looks p. cool in any case

And comrade PDA says it's the (or right next to) the AiD building where we are supposed to rendezvous with Karolina.

Also, remember when I said I'll be conserving ammo for the revolver?

Well,

I LOST ALL MY GUNS AGAIN

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Those fake buildings are certainly curious. Seksmisja-style trickery perhaps?

 

[dextermorgan]

I LOST ALL MY GUNS AGAIN

 

[Jaedar]

It is so annoying that you lose all your stuff whenever a new chapter begins. Especially since stuff that fits in slot #3 seem to only appear in the first two chapters.

 

[Darth Roxor]

There's only one item for slot #3 and it's shit anyway (the telescopic baton), so who cares.

 

[CappenVarra]

man, this potato vodka is good stuff; i just wish i wasn't so dizzy and i could get up to piss... oh well, i smell bad anyway, nobody cares - ahhhh...

 

[Jaedar]

There's only one item for slot #3 and it's shit anyway (the telescopic baton), so who cares.

It bothers me to have an unused slot

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Now I remember what that suit reminds me of!

"YOU DARE CHALLENGE SALAMANDRA?!"

 

[Johannes]

Just read this start to finish, good work. Seems like a shitty game to play yourself but the psychedelic plot twists keep me entertained, whether I actually understand what's going on or not.

It has quite a feel to it

 

[Darth Roxor]

Right, short update todeh, but I think it's p. cool. Generally, the part we are starting now is, I think, the best part of the game, and will go on to the end.

Albert shall try to brave his way through the AiD building

Huh. Now THAT'S a familiar-looking door.

Hope it still works

The elevator starts.

P cool music is played in this whole building, but I couldn't find it anywhere on utub. If you want, you can check it hier (also, what the fuck, it's like all uploading sites now require accounts )

Yup, this elevator sure takes a long time to reach the top

But it finally does so. Another familiar door. And another familiar thing is that its operating console short circuits, so we have to use two valves on the sides to get it open.

The door opens, revealing another door. Durp.

Another door that is also familiar in a way...

Last time Albert had to hack anything was all the way back in Glory.

Intriguing.

Big Brother is watching you?

'Completion of the 'City of Shadows' project - 1960-2000
An extended plan financed from the state treasury'

Wat

'Outline of the division of the zone into sectors'

'Ordered by the chief staff of the REPUBLIC, for the glory of her and her armed forces'

Some screens, showing places that Albert has visited

I wonder what this button does

The shutters start raising

Well, that's a nice panorama

Let's push another button!

It's a cave. A cave...

This was actually a jaw-dropping moment for me in the game, if I have to be honest. In all that sea of inanity, this was simply great. Completely didn't expect an outcome like this, but when you see it, suddenly a lot of stuff starts making sense.

A life-sized fucking model!

... for... Oh, fuck.

Guess Albert was left speechless.

A note from Karolina. Stupid bitch can't settle down for a few hours and wait

Sigh. There's nothing left to do here, unfortunately. Tokaj seeks the exit

Would be low even if we stayed together. Goddamit, Karolina, you brought it on yourself. Lies, everyone is lying, everything is a lie. I'm looking straight at the greatest of them all. A fake city... But life in it was real. Death was real. What for? A simulation of post-apocalyptic urban environment? Maybe this is where soldiers were training, preparing for the return to the surface once the Colonel decided it's time. Why didn't we know about this project? Why... Questions and lies. I'm so tired.

The 'training' thing seems to be it, since the area right outside Glory was called 'the proving grounds' in the Colonel's computor.

Albert goes to the end of the corridor, the screen goes black and invokes a loading screen.

Let's see what this wacky place can further surprise us with...

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

At this point in LP the reveal was kind of expected. I do see how it might have been surprising while playing.

Anyway, to Darth and awaiting further updates.

 

[CappenVarra]

interesting...

 

[Brother None]

So did the apocalypse even happen!?

Also Karolina has some impressive survival skills, way she keeps running around everywhere.

 

[Johannes]

So, the whole thing is just practice area in preparation for the real apocalypse? Or maybe it's all just a second dream sequence.

 

[Fens]

Thank you, Mario Albert! But our princess Karolina is in another castle!

 

[PlanHex]

Jesus, it's like an M. Night Shyamalan movie...



Also, I'm a bit late with this, but:

SHUT UP, CRIME!

 

[Divicus]

 

[Darth Roxor]

Last time we left dr Tokaj, he's just discovered that the devastated city he was traversing was nothing more but Albert Show.

Ah, a sawn-off. The most important part of any self-respecting electrician's toolbox

Also, for some reason, Albert has a heavy pistol with him. The same we last time used way back in the Shelter. Wut.

That hasn't stopped you for the last few days, now has it?

Albert hears music ahead.

Meh, just a gramophone.

But... who turned it on? It can't have kept playing since the war, y'know. Unless it's SUPAH DURABLE

Ah, close quarters and a fire axe. How I missed thee, old friend.

WHAT THE FUCK HUSSARS

This shit is quite possibly the last thing I expected to find here (well, actually no, because this part was featured in the demo, but you get my drift)

Seriously, what? Were they some of the forces sent out to find Fist? But the archives said nobody was sent there yet.

Maybe these hussars were actually a scouting party from the Fist to find Glory? But that doesn't explain the mutashunz. So many questions, so little answers. I also like how Albert doesn't question their presence here, for fuck's sake.

Or, if you ask me, the reason they are here is because the whole Albert Show city was added last, and this stage was supposed to happen right after leaving Glory, but they've run out of time to 'fix' it This would explain the heavy pistol and hussars, right?

Still, that's nothing but speculation. Let us press on

Can't see shit, cap'n

Still can't see shit

Oh hello there

Let's see what we can break here.

Excellent thinking, dr Tokaj!

Albert finds a generator and places the battery inside

Hai cutscene ^_^

The generator has activated some floodlights across the place

And lured in hussars. Oh snap

Camera switches to first person, with some jerky head-bobbing

Which was supposed to emulate the hussar that just jumped over that fence, I guess

Dayum, another generator. But we're out of batteries

I wonder what this button does

Well, it dropped a container, alright

Another similar button

Hohoho

One ugly mofo

SPLAT!

Not only did that container splat the hussars, it also crushed sum fences, clearing the way.

Another battery. Convenient!

Placing inside generator

And it opened some gate-thingy

Huh

Turnin' a valve

Well, damn, Albert, I don't know. I'm not an elevator expert

Funny piece of trivia: Doesn't matter which one you shoot. Even if you shoot all three down, the elevator still starts

And start it did

And it starts moving at supah high speed

HIGH SPEED DIRT

'All limbs in order? Looks like it. Guess I'm a man of steel after all'

How many times do you think Albert's already said 'never again' in this LP?

Well damn, it looks like there's some mighty fine stuff out here

*dramatic drumroll*

Actually, the music in this whole stage is very good. You can grab it Hier

The whole chapter is called 'City of Light'. Geddit? The Albert Show city was to be called 'City of Shadows'

Still

Devastated Potato looks p cool, I guess

But then again, it looks very much lke present-day Bytom

WHEN SUDDENLY

HAVE YOU COME SEEKING THE LIGHT?

Yup. Throughout his whole stay on the surface, Albert will have to walk among the shadows, the vampire that he is. Standing in sunlit areas actually kills you after like 3 seconds.

Guess the hussars who were down there might have mutated from the radiation on the surface, or something? Shrug.

Und hallo thar

What the fuck

What is THAT THING

Well, a full auto burst chases it away, whatever it was...

Yet you don't even COMMENT about the fact that you've just seen a spectre that tried to KILL YOU, right, mr psychiatrist commando?

This is also another reason why avoiding the sunlight is necessary. Each time you go out into it, you spawn a spectre

A last look through the 'window' before we move on.

Albert clears the way by pushing sum shelves

Wat

The guy turns around, looks at Albert, and throws himself out of the wreckage

But as Tokaj goes to the other side to check up on him, the plane stirs

Oops

Is this the end of poor dr Tokaj?

The streets are covered by figures of ash, much like those in Pompeii

ORLY NOW

I don't want to say anything, Al, but Tomaszewski has no grave

Dramatic pose

What horrors can we find in this wasteland?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

M-O-R-E

 

[lightbane]

Sounds like the average Imperial technology in Wh40k. That's it: The entire planet is actually a training zone for future Inquisitor agents, our psychiatrist is actually a brainwashed acolyte, that would explain everything...

More proof for my theory. Or the electrician once worked at Kirkwall.

Yup. Throughout his whole stay on the surface, Albert will have to walk among the shadows, the vampire that he is. Standing in sunlit areas actually kills you after like 3 seconds.

That's actually a cool way to use BLOOM, even if it's a bit shoehorned.

And here's a random spirit directly spawned from the Warp. Or Andrejz has finally gone full retard.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Sounds like the average Imperial technology in Wh40k. That's it: The entire planet is actually a training zone for future Inquisitor agents, our psychiatrist is actually a brainwashed acolyte, that would explain everything...

That... WOULD actually explain everything

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Andrzej didn't utter a single litany to the Emperor during this whole LP, therefore it is impossible for this to be set in wh40k

 

[Jaedar]

Maybe Tokaj is simply from a world where they say 'god' instead of emperor. Emprah worship is hardly uniform, even amongst the core worlds

 

[lightbane]

Well, He is the God-Emperor of Mankind, so...
