Afterlove EP

This is the final project of Mohammad Fahmi who passed away in 2022, the creator of Coffee Talk 1 and 2. It’ll hurt playing this, but that’s the beauty of games. They can leave an impact. The art style is cool, and so is the music. It’s clear how much love Fahmi had for Indonesia, as the game is set in Jakarta! I’m excited to play it, but I’ll be sad knowing it’ll have to the end. However, it’s such a beautiful send-off for Fahmi.
