Afterlove EP
The road to getting a playable version of the music-centric visual novel Afterlove EP into gamers’ hands has been a long one. In 2022, Afterlove EP creator Mohammad Fahmi (who also created barista sim Coffee Talk) tragically passed away, and the game was put on indefinite pause. But now, developer Pikselnesia has released a demo ahead of a planned release later this year. It gives players a taste of the game which follows band member Rama as he learns to cope with the sudden passing of his girlfriend and to reconnect with the rest of his band. It’s a gorgeously animated story that blends visual novel and rhythm mechanics while telling an emotionally resonant story about grief.
