This game Is really fun and exciting! I love the idea behind it! And the ending was surprising! I would love to see this as a full game!

It was very innovative and surprisingly not boring for a (mostly) text based game. The concept of taking a k7 out of the person head made me laugh.

Very cerebral game ;) Audio and Mood was fantastic, felt like a retro sci-fi dystopia.

Looks good, sounds good and is a unique an interesting interpretation of the theme. At first I saw some negative memories and was like "Ok, deleting that!" and from then on I was way more careful. Thanks for the unique and enjoyable time. :smiley:

One of the more interesting ideas for the theme rather than using the literal physical meaning of space that 99% of people used here, but that's LudumDare picking a bad theme more than anything. Enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing if you continue it in anyway :)

So creepy but good fun!

On the surface, a nice abstract puzzle game; but underneath there's a whole load emotive, empathic and moral stuff going on that really gives food for thought.

Would love, love, **love** to see this explored more - especially in a Papers Please style format where the demands (and rewards) of the puzzle may be at odds with the ethical implications of certain actions.

Very well done: definitely a very *memorable* experience.

Retro feeling of graphics is awesome. However, implication of what are you doing are really unsettling.

Really creative twist on the theme. One of the top games for sure.

Very nice! I feel like memories should have something indicating _how much_ it affects the values. I mean, not the actual value, but something to make it feel less subjective.

maybe that was the whole point?

Can't believe all those models, textures, ascii arts and stories are done within 48 hours! Really astonishing work!

Love the idea, very creative! Amazing mood and audio.

lol the ending was great! I loved the idea of a cassette inside our brains. You nailed those cutscenes and the game played well. nothing to complain really :D good job!

kromeboy 2018-08-13 19:12

Love the idea: a nice mix of story with a solid mechanic

xphere 2018-08-14 08:37

Awesome! Loved every bit, I felt a little strange removing memories of daughters and weddings, but quite funny overall. Thanks for this gem ;)

Really nice idea with a cool twist at the end. It made me feel bad though for deleting peoples important memories :/

vekstr 2018-08-16 04:52

Wait what there's an ending..? Anyways, it surprisingly gave me goosebumps at some memories, especially those with sounds. Some even made me **not** wanting to delete them even though doing so would help me reach the objective.

However, I felt like the animation sequences were taking me out of the experience, and the first time it went back to the menu screen I thought it was over. Oh how does the scoring work? I mean, what does "error" mean actually?

Now, off to play it again!

vekstr 2018-08-16 05:21

Woahh, that ending.. Got goosebumps all over again :clap:

mrjoshuamclean 2018-08-16 13:32

The concept is great - love the idea of a cassette tape for our memories. The animation of yanking it out of the brain is quite good, although a bit out of touch with the more somber mood the game seems to be aiming for. The core mechanic of balancing numbers felt a bit dull (maybe I'm just an emotionless robot?) and it was difficult to judge good vs bad decisions.

But clearly everyone else liked it so that's just my two cents. XD

I really liked this game. The mood is excellent, the audio contributes greatly to it. And the bits and scraps of memories convey a very dark story. It kept me entertained :smile:

A part the last specimen I didn't really reach my objectives but I guess it doesn't matter :wink:

overall exellent entry, congrats!

A pretty surrealistic experience, I was surprised on how abstract this game can be. Really liked it.

paulhocker 2018-08-28 03:13

very cool idea - reminded me of papers please - gonna play this again
