Release Date: February 14, 2025
An adventure game with elements of a rhythm game and a visual novel. In Afterlove EP we play as a young Indonesian musician trying to cope with the death of his girlfriend. We can explore modern-day Jakarta, having conversations with other characters and performing music. We have 28 days and nights to shape the protagonist's fate.
The Afterlove EP is a production on the border of adventure and Coffee Talk or What Comes After. Even though Fahmi ed away in 2022, the team committed to completing his last project.
Afterlove EP takes us to contemporary Jakarta - the capital of Indonesia. The main character of the game is Rama, a young musician who has been unable to recover from the death of his beloved Cinta for a year. A month before his band's important concert, the protagonist faces a choice - either he will try to pull himself together and help the group record new songs, or his friends will go on tour without him. The matter is complicated by the fact that his mental health is apparently starting to falter, and he himself does not know whether the source of Cinta's voice, which he hears in his head, is a ghost or his own imagination.
At this moment we step into action, having 28 days and nights to shape Rama's future. It depends on us which relationships he decides to refresh, which ones he decides to abandon, and what new people he encounters on his way. It is also our responsibility to handle matters related to his future in the band.
In Afterlove EP we move around Jakarta, watching the action from the side. During the game, we interact with characters and have conversations with them on various topics, gradually learning more about both them and the main character.
The story is enriched by sections inspired by rhythm games, in which the protagonist plays the guitar with his band. They require dexterity and reflexes from us, and during them our goal is to press specific buttons at the right moments.
The graphic design of Afterlove EP was inspired by the art of an Indonesian artist known as Soyatu. The gameplay takes place to the accompaniment of songs by the band L'Alphalpha (also from Indonesia).

Game Ratings for Afterlove EP Video Game.
NintendoWorldReport: 9 / 10 by Alex Orona
Whether it's just listening to your friends vent frustrations or finding common ground with someone new, there's something special about what these games bring to the table. I for one recommend everyone pull up a stool and listen for a while. You may find a new best friend.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Michelle See-Tho
Afterlove EP definitely fits with the cosy set: slow tempo, heartwarming narrative, and sad story (yes). The themes of grief, mental health and their impacts on our lives are explored in a way that feels gentle, much like Fahmi's earlier releases. There were a few wrinkles as things unfolded, and the dating sim aspect was unexpected, but still there's easygoing fun to be had. If you're looking for a light touch on serious issues, this one could be worth a play, and a replay. If you want a heavy-hitting game to wreck you emotionally, you might want to hit 'skip'.
Shacknews: 9 / 10 by Lexi Luddy
The music and vibe of Afterlove are both fittingly beautiful with the contrast in difficulty in certain rhythm sections doing a great job of showcasing Rama’s focus at the time.
