Nether After

(For the best experience, remember to enable media and disable Darkreader.)
(Keyboard prompts are optional; just clicking the buttons will suffice.)

Your choices, your story.

Inspired by Minecraft: Story Mode, Nether After is an interactive fiction game and visual novel set in Minecraft, where the story is tailored by how you play.

In this world, you don't lose your
life; you lose your identity.

Featuring a fresh take on Story Mode's cast, you'll team up with unique characters to survive the Nether and preserve your memories. Characters will change loyalties, or even lose sight of who they are based on your choices.

A three-act story,
featuring multiple endings.

There are three acts planned, and as of now (April 2026) the third act is currently in development. There are multiple endings planned, based on how your character is shaped by your actions.

Try different choices,
see different payoffs.

You can easily explore the possible events of the story, using the available menus:

• To rewind and try different options, click the rewind icon.
• To skip backwards or forwards through different chapters, click the pause icon or press the escape key to open the pause menu, then "Save Data", then "Navigation".
• Under "Save Data", you can also save your progress by clicking "Sleep in Bed" (this is just an expression; you will not die if you use it in the Nether).
• You can also review your stats (such as affinity with other characters) by clicking on "Records", then "Diary" in the pause menu.
• Under Records, you can also review your inventory, and the chapter log, which keeps track of all the dialogue spoken during the current chapter.

Thank you.
