Making a game about emotionally wayward 20-somethings in a band? You have my sympathies. Night In The Woods nailed the assignment so thoroughly, and is so beloved, that you're in for some tough comparisons.
Afterlove EP has plenty going for it that makes it seem like it might be able to hold its own, however. It's set in the city of Jakarta, Indonesia, for one.
It was conceived of by the creator of Coffee Talk, another beloved game, for another. It's now got a release date: February 14th.
Maybe I'd have released it the day after Valentine's Day. Afterlove EP tells the story of Rama, a musician dealing with the unexpected passing of his girlfriend, Cinta.
Rama is working on finishing an EP of music he promised he'd make for her, while struggling to get his band back together and grieve his partner.
