About Afterlove EP
Afterlove EP follows Rama, a young musician in Jakarta, as he confronts the loss of his girlfriend Cinta and a looming band gig. Over twenty‑eight in‑game days you explore the city, converse with friends, and engage in rhythm‑based jam sessions that reflect his emotional state.
The game blends visual‑novel storytelling, side‑scroll exploration, and rhythm gameplay, all rendered in manga‑inspired art by Soyatu and accompanied by an original soundtrack from L’Alphalpha. It is a single‑player experience with full controller, keyboard‑only, and adjustable‑difficulty options, and you may save at any moment.
