“Emotion takes up a big part of your life on a daily basis”.

Afterlove EP, a ‘mix-tape visual novel’ from the studio behind Coffee Talk, was announced back in 2021, but just one year after its reveal, the team went through something no developer should have to deal with: the sudden and unexpected death of studio founder Mohammad Fahmi.

Fahmi had assembled the team at Indonesian indie studio Pikselnesia with the sole intention of making Afterlove EP and so, after his passing, the team decided to complete development on the game and bring its creator’s vision to life.
