  • I did enjoy the art style and thought the animation was great! I liked the interpretation of the theme, and it was a very different take on the gameplay. I would love to see some progression in this game and get into the story more! I think it has potential to be a great story driven game.

Tell us about your game!
Shadows of Memory is a top-down, hack-and-slash game about a mentally ill old man who is haunted by hallucinations at night. Your goal is to disperse the hallucinations before going back to sleep.

In our interpretation of the theme, the character's altered brain chemistry acts as a form of 'alchemy,' distorting his perception and manifesting shadows as hallucinations.
