This subtle behavior is seemingly unique to 2.0.

If you're on the Golden Gate betas and running into crashes with Afterglow, please reach out. I have a build that potentially fixes this, but it'd be great to get confirmation from a few testers. Thanks!
@zarfeblong I think I've finally sorted out the Prologue sequence on the Fool and His Money site. This was the most complicated animation in the entire game! At this time all known bugs are squashed, but no doubt there are unknown bugs l…

Wow, After Dark 1.0 sold for ~$40 in 1989 -- with only 10 modules. Around $108 adjusted for inflation. Pretty steep!
