Upcoming anime-inspired indie game Afterlove EP is a game in which art imitates life in the saddest way possible. There's a tragic irony to its premise, as you play as twenty-something musician Rama trying to move on from the death of his girlfriend Cinta, whose voice he continues to hear, while trying to get ready for an important gig that may make or break his band. The game's original writer and director Fahmi Hasan had suddenly passed away in 2022.
"For a while, it felt like we had no direction and no reason to keep going," says technical artist Maxi. "But after some time, we pushed through even though it was really rough, and I think we did our best to honour what he started."
