Afterlife Empire is a top down isometric strategy game where the player takes on the role of a ghost in their own haunted house. It’s inspired by games such as Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper but focuses on character interaction as well as base building.
The player takes the role of a freshly risen ghost who needs to build their own haunted house. You start with a one room shack and slowly build your home up until it turns into a haunted wonder of the world. As the player scares the humans that enter their haunted house they earn “Notoriety.” A ghost can’t do anything if no one believes in you and a ghost that no believes in will slowly leave the mortal plane for the afterworld.

The larger your house grows, the more people will arrive to explore it. Use strategically placed traps and scares to separate individuals to ensure you gain the maximum amount of fear from each encounter. As you scare people in more creative and memorable ways you earn “Fame”; an additional currency that allows you to upgrade your home adding new and interesting ways to terrify your victims. But be careful! Scare a victim too much and they might die of fright. Too many deaths and your home might have to bulldozed for ‘public safety’ reasons. Gain enough notoriety and special encounters will come to your house. Ghost hunting television shows will allow you to play for the cameras and gain huge boosts in fame, while séances allow you to use more power for massive scares. Exorcists will also arrive to try and expel you from your haunting ground. Survive and scare them off and you'll earn large bonuses in all fields!
