Fellow Traveller and Pikselnesia have announced the much-anticipated release date for their game, Afterlove EP, debuting on the Nintendo Switch.
This intriguing game is a unique blend of visual novel, rhythm gameplay, and narrative adventure, all intricately woven together to tell a compelling story about love, loss, and the power of music. Set in the vibrant city of Jakarta, Indonesia, players will find themselves in the shoes of Rama, a young musician grappling with the heartache of losing his girlfriend, Cinta. His journey revolves around the emotional task of completing an EP—a promise to Cinta that remains unfulfilled, leading to multiple possible endings shaped by the player’s choices.
The game is enhanced by an original soundtrack from Indonesian band L’alphalpha, complemented by striking manga-inspired visuals created by Indonesian artist Soyatu.
The publisher highlights several key features of the game:
Rama’s on the Clock: You’ve got one month to help Rama get it together. His band is gearing up for a critical gig, and if Rama can’t deliver the new music he’s promised, the band might just move ahead without him. Over these next 28 days and nights, your decisions will steer Rama’s journey. Wander through the city, decide which relationships to mend, and which new bonds to form. Reflect on the past, find Rama’s creative voice, and help him carve out a hopeful future.
A Genre-Blending Adventure: Afterlove EP is more than just a narrative experience. It’s a journey through contemporary Jakarta, where rich, side-scrolling exploration, character-driven conversations, and rhythm-based band sessions come together in a seamless package.
Experience Jakarta’s Pulse: Straight from the bustling streets of Jakarta, where many of the developers have their roots, Afterlove EP offers players an authentic glimpse into modern urban life in Indonesia. With its unique artistic flair and immersive soundtrack, the game stands as a testament to the vibrant Indonesian indie scene.
Mark your calendars for a global digital release on the Nintendo eShop, as Afterlove EP will be available for the Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2025.
