Afterlove EP is a poignant visual novel and heartbreak album developed by the talented team at Pikselnesia in Indonesia. The story follows Rama, a musician who is trying to piece his life back together and reconnect with his former bandmates in Jakarta following the tragic loss of his girlfriend, Cinta. What sets this narrative apart is the presence of Cinta’s voice in Rama’s mind, guiding him through the 28-day storyline as if she were right beside the player.
Created by the late Mohammad Fahmi, the mastermind behind Coffee Talk and What Comes After, Afterlove EP is a project that his colleagues at Pikselnesia have lovingly completed in his memory. As I delve into the game for review, I find myself immersed in a journey of grief and introspection. The game, although short in duration, delves deep into the complexities of loss and mourning, inviting players to explore, confront, and ultimately accept their emotions.
While I have chosen to delay my review to fully absorb the impact of Afterlove EP, I can already appreciate the intricate narrative design, complemented by charming hand-drawn artwork and captivating indie rock music. If you’re intrigued by the concept, you can experience Afterlove EP on Steam and embark on a heartfelt journey of self-discovery.
