From the moment I saw the first trailer for Afterlove EP, I knew that this visual novel was going to be a powerful experience. What I didn’t expect was for it to be the last project that Mohammad Fahmi, the original Coffee Talk creator, worked on before his passing in 2022. Now, Afterlove EP has a release date after being taken over by developer Pikselnesia.

Fittingly, Afterlove EP will be released on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, 2025. It will release across PC and all major consoles (PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S) simultaneously. Here is what the press release says about Afterlove EP.

Set in the vibrant city of modern-day Jakarta, Afterlove EP follows Rama, a musician who finds himself lost after the unexpected passing of his girlfriend Cinta.

As Rama struggles to let go of Cinta (especially since he still hears her voice inside his head!), he will be faced with myriad challenges, including finding inspiration and finishing the EP he promised Cinta (but kept putting off until it was too late); reconciling with his friends and bandmates; preparing for an important gig at the end of the month; and most importantly, the daunting prospect of moving on and finding love, friendship, or whatever direction his future takes him. 

Pikselnesia, the fully independent Indonesian development team behind Afterlove EP have truly brought the vibrant color and rich culture of Jakarta to the forefront in the game, all the while ensuring they are honoring the original vision and treasured legacy of the late Mohammad Fahmi, the beloved and dearly missed creator of Coffee Talk, What Comes After and Afterlove EP. 

In addition to a unique mix of narrative adventure, visual novel, rhythm game and life/dating sim, players will enjoy eye-popping manga-inspired artwork from Indonesian artist Soyatu, depicting Rama’s journey with beautiful hand-drawn characters and environments featuring real-life landmarks from all around Jakarta.”

I’m very eager to see more with Afterlove EP. It means even more knowing that it honors Fahmi while also bringing a rich, vibrant experience to players. I can’t wait to play it, and we don’t have much longer to wait.
