"Afterglow" mobile MMO launches closed alpha

Shadow Council PTY Launches Closed Alpha for Afterglow Mobile MMORPG

How to Participate in Afterglow's Closed Alpha

The closed alpha testing phase for Afterglow is currently underway. Interested players can register through Shadow Council PTY's official playtesting form. Successful applicants will receive access to testing guides and terms of service documentation.

Participants will also gain access to an anonymous feedback channel, allowing direct communication with the development team. This early testing opportunity lets players experience Afterglow's systems firsthand and influence the game's final development direction.

Game Overview

Afterglow presents a dystopian vision of the American Southwest seventy-seven years after nuclear devastation. Players assume the role of survivors attempting to establish themselves in this lawless wasteland.

The game innovates with its hybrid gameplay system, blending semi-idle mechanics with traditional MMORPG elements. Players can manage their squad's activities through brief play sessions, with tasks continuing automatically during offline periods.

Exploration mechanics include:

  • Scavenging abandoned settlements
  • Resource gathering expeditions
  • Strategic turn-based combat encounters

Afterglow's distinctive aesthetic combines gritty post-apocalyptic visuals with vibrant 1980s neon aesthetics. The game world features:

  • Expansive desert wastelands
  • Repurposed technological relics
  • Glowing retro-futuristic signage
  • Vintage cultural artifacts

Shadow Council PTY plans to introduce additional features following the closed alpha period. For more gaming updates, check our coverage of Watcher of Realms' second anniversary celebration.

The game will be available for download via official mobile app stores upon release.
