Narrative games publisher Fellow Traveller and Indonesian studio Pikselnesia have released a demo for its upcoming adventure game Afterlove EP.

The demo will be available on PC (Steam) from 10 May until 13 May. The demo will offer a slice of the game’s mix of narrative adventure, dating sim aspects, and rhythm game elements. You can check it out here.

“Set in the bustling city of modern-day Jakarta, Afterlove EP follows the story of a young musician named Rama, who finds himself lost after his girlfriend Cinta unexpectedly passes away. While his friends and band mates rally by his side, Rama struggles to let go of the world he shared with Cinta. With her voice inside his head (literally!), Rama will be faced with the daunting task of moving on, finishing his first-ever EP, and perhaps even finding love again!

Afterlove EP is a slice-of-life game that features a colorful mixtape of genres, taking inspiration from dating sims, rhythm games and narrative adventures. Through Rama’s shoes, players will experience the vibrant culture of Indonesia, explore real-life locations within Jakarta, socialize with friends, and make story-affecting choices.

Jakarta is brought to life with stunning manga-inspired art from renowned Indonesian artist Soyatu, who depicts Rama’s journey with hand-drawn character designs and authentic cultural landmarks. Afterlove EP also showcases an emotional original soundtrack from the indie band L’alphalpha, with songs written and performed in Indonesian (English translations included).

Afterlove EP is the vision of Mohammad Fahmi, the creator of the beloved Coffee Talk series, whose passing in 2022 led the Pikselnesia team to honor his legacy and bring his dream for the game to life. The all-Indonesian team strives to highlight Indonesia’s unique culture and authentically showcase local talent in game development, art and music. Afterlove EP pays homage to Fahmi’s work, thanks to the efforts of the Pikselnesia team that have carried on to share his legacy with the rest of the world.”

Afterlove EP will be out for PC and consoles in 2024.
