Never seen game like that. Very original idea

Really neat idea. I miss pickles now

LOVE the ideas and concepts here! Would def take a ton of work to finish the whole thing, but seems worth it. Also, the visuals reminded me of the FMV in games fad in the mid 90s (but much better, obv)! :-D

Great work! Would love to play the 7-day version if you finish it!

Thanks everyone! Pickles is really excited about all the positive comments <3 :D

Of course, you didn't get to get the whole system out, but by the end I was starting to realize a little how the memory system worked. I liked the fmv / rotoscope style and a game like that with movement (even not truly free movement, but point and click style scrolling) would be pretty cool

And I loved the song :)

You dreamed big but also put something out. It would be interesting to seeing iterations on some of these ideas

This was such a unique idea, please keep working on it! I didn't really understand what the placeholders were supposed to be, but it made the game more mysterious. I liked how the filter made the game more stylistically similar to those telltale games, but in some scenes it was getting a bit too dark, not sure if that's adjustable. Pickles was so cute! please give pickles lots of treats and love.

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback everyone! <3

Wanted to note that the PLACEHOLDER text showing up on memories was an unfortunate bug, when I ran the final release I had incorrectly copied the spreadsheet into a data file and it didn't load right! Whoops :D it is now resolved though!

This was super nice to experience. I'd absolutely love to play a longer version of this game! The song at the end was beautiful. I'd love to have more environmental sounds in the game. maybe use audio only queues in leu of us having smellivision? The memory system linking to your choices was nice.

The visual style is SO cool, I would love to play a full length game like this! Losing memories is a really interesting way to handle the theme. I hope you continue with this!

Like every good demos, It made me want to play the full game. Keep up the good work! I have the eerie feeling I shouldn't have chosen to forget about the neighbor...

the effects on the footage is a really nice touch, this is gonna be a really good game when fleshed out. I really enjoyed my short time in it

Really interesting idea! It reminded me a lot of Sam Barlow's games, like Her Story and Immortality. And tell Pickles he did a great job, much act very wow.
