Released in 2020, Coffee Talk is an indie game in the form of a visual novel (an interactive video game comic book) with a very 90s aesthetic, with lo-fi chill music and an alternative and fantastic story that immerses you in the counter of a Seattle café. You need to talk to your customers to find what will make them happy to drink.
After the game, Fahmi had opened his own studio, Pikselnesiaand released the game What Comes After in 2020. The Indonesian studio is currently working on Afterlove EP, for PC, PlayStation, and Switch in 2022.
