This game follows the story of Dr. Sirius Amory, who desires to explore the "Keywork". However, his work comes at great personal expense....

The original story is by Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez. Afterman the book was released in limited copies, unlike the Amory Wars and Sanchez' other comic publications. The Coheed album "Afterman" also accompanies the story.

Working on adapting the album and story to a playable ROM! This is a trailer for the first few minutes. I decided to take on this project because I enjoy the story and the author's creativity. There is a limited amount of visual representation of this story, so I wanted to see what I could do.
