The final work of Coffee Talk and What Comes After game designer Mohammad Fahmi covers grief, new beginnings and the power of music
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is not easy. Rama, a young musician from the Indonesian capital Jakarta and the protagonist in the visual novel game Afterlove EP, experiences this after the death of his girlfriend Cinta. He is at a low point and he cannot get her voice out of his head.
While he continues to struggle after a year of mourning, an important performance is coming up. His band finally wants to release their first major EP.
Time is running out and Rama wants to overcome his personal crisis and become the band’s frontman again.
Afterlove EP is the final work of video game designer Mohammad Fahmi, who died in 2022. Fahmi also made the indie games Coffee Talk and What Comes After, both released in 2020.
It tells a quiet and sensitive story of grief, new beginnings and the power of music. The focus is not on action, but rather on an emotional journey.
In numerous conversations you choose between different dialogue options, thus influencing the course of the game.
