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.
