DEADLINE: Afterlife Processing

For fans of That’s Not My Neighbor

Working that door taught you to read every face and every paper twice. DEADLINE: Afterlife Processing gives you a different line: the dead, one at a time, each with a record and a rulebook to check it against.

What will feel familiar

What is new

Instead of faces at a door, you read lives on a terminal: three fragments per soul, printed in amber. The record is all you get, and the record is rarely the whole story.

Every decision ends at the press. Set the verdict, pull the lever, carry the sealed soul to Disposition A or Disposition B. Gold or red. Two exits. No appeals.

Every processed soul prints a slip, and the catalog at the window sells better boots, a faster line and machines for the parts of the job you like least.

Questions

Is DEADLINE: Afterlife Processing like That’s Not My Neighbor?

They share the loop: check each case against a set of rules, under pressure, and decide. In DEADLINE the cases are the dead, the evidence is a life in three fragments, and you play in first person in an office in the afterlife.
