Slice of Life Rhythm Romance Afterlove EP Presses Play on Valentine’s Day for PS5

As a seasoned gamer who’s had my fair share of heart-wrenching narratives and rhythm games, the upcoming release of Afterlove EP has piqued my interest. Having dabbled in Indonesian indie music scene through various titles like A Space for the Unbound, I’m eager to immerse myself in the unique blend of visual novel, narrative adventure, and rhythm game that Afterlove EP promises.

The setting in Jakarta, Indonesia, adds a layer of authenticity that I find intriguing, especially since it’s not often we get to explore such vibrant cities in games. The fact that this game is inspired by real-life events and local artists like Soyatu and L’Alphalpha makes it even more enticing.

Now, let’s talk about the main character Rama. I’ve been there, buddy. Struggling to move on after a significant loss while trying to keep a promise, all while navigating relationships and cityscapes. If you’ve played games like Bocchi the Rock or experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with losing in a rhythm game, then you’ll understand where I’m coming from.

Lastly, let me leave you with this: I hope Rama finds his rhythm before the band moves on without him… or else, I might have to step in and save the day! Just kidding, but seriously, I can’t wait to give it a go!

The upcoming project by the late Coffee Talk creator Mohammad Fahmi is set to debut on Valentine’s Day! The slice-of-life rhythm adventure game, titled Afterlove EP, will be available for PlayStation 5 on the 14th of February.

In Jakarta, Indonesia, the story unfolds about a young musician dealing with life’s challenges following the unexpected and heartbreaking death of his girlfriend. This unique gaming experience combines elements from visual novels, narrative adventures, and rhythm games.

Rama’s band has an important concert coming up within a month. If he doesn’t start taking his music more seriously and write those new songs he’s been talking about, the band might continue without him.

For approximately four weeks, the course Rama’s journey takes will be shaped by your decisions. Roam through the city, decide which bonds to mend and which to forge anew. Confront your past, reignite your creativity, and aid Rama in sculpting his own destiny.

In this game, you’ll encounter an artistic vibe similar to Indonesian artist Soyatu and tunes from the local indie band L’Alphalpha. Additionally, you can delve into a semi-realistic portrayal of Jakarta via side-scroller scenes, reminiscent of manga style.

Is this new game something that enthusiasts of titles like “A Space for the Unbound” and series like “Bocchi the Rock” might enjoy? Would you consider trying it out?
