What is going to happen when, and if, humanity can no longer live on earth?
The answer to that question is main theme in this game.

The year is sometime not so far into the future.
Humanity is on the brink of destruction due to the enviroment being damaged by humanity. So what humanity does, is start building a huge spaceship, which will travel to a planet found far away which is likely to be able to harbor humanity.
And that is where the story starts.

The gameplay in After Man is mainly focused on exploration and puzzle solving.
Initially you are in control of a unnamed human after the spaceship carrying the hope of humanity landed on the new planet.

But there is already life on this planet and it may not be as peaceful as one would have hoped, as you will soon discover...

The idea for this game is something I got when I read two books by the Scottish geologist and author, Dougal Dixon. It's not required to read those books to understand anything in the game though. The books in question is: "After Man: A Zoology of the Future" and "Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future". I highly recommend them if you're into sci-fi or are interested in how humanity could end up in the future.

I am confused. I'm at the part where you have to get past the eggs to get into the main lab, and I can get into the bridge but I can't find anything else to do in the area. What

I was playing through this game. There were some odd events / bugs I didn't bother to mention in the review I'm writing, but thought you should know what I found.

1) Occurs after killing the monster in the Observatory. When you interact with the door again it will say that you think there is something behind the door.

2) Occurs in the room with the glowing plant. If you interact with one of the tables it will tell you that there is a hole you can crawl through. And you can actually crawl through this hole after the correct story mission has been completed. (So you can either crawl through the hole at the wall or at the hole that doesn't even exist in the plant room.)
Oh, thanks for reporting those events. I'd love to fix them, but sadly I don't have RMXP anymore.

Anyone else run into a problem where the game doesn't even open? It makes game.exe in task manager but I can't even force it to close with End Process.

English version 1.03

EDIT:
I learned from elsewhere that Windows7 DEP is likely the issue. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings?SignedIn=1 is the official page on it. Just posting in case anyone else has the same issue.

Edit2:
Nope, that didn't work either.
look at the sky! Is it a bird? is it a plane? is it a meteor? no, it's After Man!
Zooming past without anyone noticing, just like superman!
there is a ending in the subterrane human path when the golbin-like creature is not eaten by the egg?
