Sometimes a great location is all it takes to make a game really shine. Pitstop in Purgatory is the perfect example of that, presenting players with a compellingly weird version of the afterlife that's full of mystery and intrigue.
I took on the role of Astrid, a young woman who dies at the beginning of the game. Death is just the beginning, though, as she wakes up in a strange place—neither heaven nor hell, but somewhere in between—and must figure out how to keep going forward.
Pitstop in Purgatory has a unique vision of what life after death is like. And it presents that vision with an outstanding, painterly art style that's not quite like anything else I've witnessed before.
As for the gameplay, this is traditional adventure game/visual novel stuff, with relatively simple logic puzzles and long conversations with oddball characters. There are multiple endings, though, and the whole thing only takes a couple hours to play through. It's a journey to the other side that's well worth taking.

A thought provoking visual novel | First Impressions - Pitstop in Purgatory
Pitstop in Purgatory is a visual novel and point-and-click adventure hybrid developed by Tymedust Games in a two-month timeframe, which is surprising considering the compelling writing. Pitstop in Purgatory’s story is full of depth and thought-provoking ideas. You play as Astrid, a frustrated young actress who recently died. She wakes up and finds herself in the afterlife, but it’s not Heaven or Hell. It’s something close to a Purgatory, so that’s what they call it for her. At the start, she doesn’t remember her death and is in a state of confusion.

Another indie gem - Pitstop in Purgatory
Pitstop in Purgatory is a point-and-click visual novel developed and published by Tymedust Games, and let me tell you, it's a real gem. Now, I must admit, I don't usually play these kinds of games, and it can be tough to make a review for a game that is mostly story and less gameplay. However, this game pleasantly surprised me. You take on the role of Astrid, a young up-and-coming actress who wakes up in Purgatory after her untimely death.
