Afterlove EP, a game by late Coffee Talk creator Mohammad Fahmi, is a loving slice-of-life story. While the game is a mix of visual novel, adventure game, rhythm game, and dating sim, it’s so much more. The story is a touching tale of Rama, a young man struggling to get over the loss of his girlfriend, Cinta, while also making it in a band in Jakarta, Indonesia. Not surprising, developer Pikselnesia announced they will release Fahmi’s swansong on February 14th, Valentine’s Day.

Enjoy the manga-inspired visuals in the launch trailer below:

Along with the charming visuals, the music featured in the game is by real-life Indonesian rock band L’alphalpha. The game also features stunning recreations of Jakarta landmarks with art by artist Soyatu.

Publisher Fellow Traveller Games provides more details:

Set in the vibrant city of modern-day Jakarta, Afterlove EP follows Rama, a musician who finds himself lost after the unexpected passing of his girlfriend Cinta.

As Rama struggles to let go of Cinta (especially since he still hears her voice inside his head!), he will be faced with myriad challenges, including finding inspiration and finishing the EP he promised Cinta (but kept putting off until it was too late); reconciling with his friends and bandmates; preparing for an important gig at the end of the month; and most importantly, the daunting prospect of moving on and finding love, friendship, or whatever direction his future takes him.

Pikselnesia, the fully independent Indonesian development team behind Afterlove EP have truly brought the vibrant color and rich culture of Jakarta to the forefront in the game, all the while ensuring they are honoring the original vision and treasured legacy of the late Mohammad Fahmi, the beloved and dearly missed creator of Coffee Talk, What Comes After and Afterlove EP.

In addition to a unique mix of narrative adventure, visual novel, rhythm game and life/dating sim, players will enjoy eye-popping manga-inspired artwork from Indonesian artist Soyatu depicting Rama’s journey with beautiful hand-drawn characters and environments featuring real-life landmarks from all around Jakarta.

The game’s original soundtrack is written and performed in Indonesian by indie band L’alphalpha with English subtitles included.
