Afterlove EP – Early 2025
I am now realizing that I submitted several rhythm game hybrids to this list. Am I predictable, or are developers just doing cool shit in 2025 by marrying music-centric mechanics to other genres? Both, maybe. Afterlove EP is a narrative rhythm game from Pikselnesia, the developer behind Coffee Talk and What Comes After. It follows Rama, a musician who’s trying to get back into the groove after the loss of his love Cinta. The game will explore grief, when and how we move on, and how we channel our pain into creative mediums. It’s coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch in Q1. – Kenneth Shepard
