Grief is something that no two people experience in the same way. But how do you process loss when you’re just not ready to let go?
Afterlove EP, developed by Pikselnesia, is a slice-of-life story that follows a young musician named Rama, as he struggles to reconnect with his friends and his music in the wake of the death of his girlfriend. The game takes place in modern day Jakarta, and players will find themselves immersed in the sights and sounds of the city through the game’s beautifully illustrated environments. You’ll help Rama build back relationships with his bandmates as you practice for an upcoming gig. You’ll guide him through the sweet and nerve-wracking world of dating. Most importantly, players can help Rama make sure he gets his butt to therapy so he can process all these new experiences and feelings.
In episode 44 of No Small Games, Kate and Emily dive into the similarities and differences in their experiences of Afterlove EP. They discuss the Choices Matter gameplay: what worked well for them and what didn’t. Most importantly, they reveal who they chose to date and how that worked out for Rama. We hope you love our discussion of this heartfelt game!
