DESCRIPTION
Aftertaste is a surreal 2.5D adventure platformer. Step into the role of Tami, the tongue of a burned-out chef, Keh, and dive into a surreal journey into Keh’s body. Run, jump, grapple, and swing your way through a stylized world where every organ has a story to tell, and every mechanic is a thoughtful metaphor.
What’s a tongue without taste? Discover sweet, sour, and more as you travel from the Belly Bar, through the Teahouse, to the Night Market. Each flavor grants Tami unique abilities, opening new paths and playful ways forward. Along your journey, recover her lost sense of taste, forgotten memories, “taste” what it means to fall back in love with your passion.
