“Don’t Miss the ‘Afterlove EP’ Amidst February’s Gaming Frenzy!”

Consequently, I perceive VICE Games as a channel that must spotlight “smaller” games. I discussed MINDWAVE yesterday (please take a look at that as the game is remarkable), and today, I aim to showcase February’s Afterlove EP. This game represents the culminating work of Mohammad Fahmi, who sadly passed away in 2022. Fahmi was an Indonesian independent game developer responsible for creating Coffee Talk and What Comes After. Afterlove EP is characterized as a slice-of-life adventure game focused on Rama, a musician grappling with the challenge of moving forward following his girlfriend’s demise.

Afterlove EP blends elements of visual novel, dating simulator, narrative adventure, and rhythm game. While scanning the forthcoming game launches for February, I couldn’t avoid noticing this delightful title. You can obtain the demo on Steam in anticipation of the game’s launch on February 14, 2025. (A stylish, exquisite teaser I highly recommend experiencing.)

“While his close companions and bandmates are all eager to assist him in moving forward, Rama has been trapped for over a year. He’s neglecting his music, mental well-being, and relationships. Making matters tougher, he’s hearing Cinta’s voice echoing in his mind, uncertain if she is a spirit or just a figment of his imagination,” the Afterlove EP’s Steam description articulates.

“Rama’s band has an important performance in one month. He either seriously commits to his music and presents the new songs he has been pledging or the band will continue on without him. Over twenty-eight days and nights, your decisions will dictate the direction Rama takes. Explore the city, select which connections to mend and which new ones to cultivate. Come to terms with the past, rediscover your creative voice, and assist Rama in constructing a future for himself.”

Afterlove EP is the kind of significant game I always appreciate, particularly with such a charming mix of genres. Often, we find ourselves consumed by the spectacle of major releases — which February certainly has in abundance. However, Afterlove EP is an indie creation worthy of all the acclaim imaginable. Mohammad Fahmi’s creative journey reflects someone who grasped the significance and depth of personal relationships. Coffee Talk is entertaining and reflective, What Comes After is an amazing exploration of self-value, and Afterlove EP will merge the emotional weight of Fahmi’s previous works into one poignant, concluding project that will further establish a legendary legacy.
