Memoriam
A forgotten god is beloved by forgotten peoples.
In the part of town best avoided after dark, there lies a shrine. Nobody can remember when it was built, or who built it to begin with, but all anyone can really say is that it's been around long enough that it had long since fallen apart when the old were young. It's a place lost to time, and one better off kept that way.
You play as Luca, a young drifter who, due to a sudden storm, is in dire need of someplace (reasonably) dry for a night. When the doors shut behind you, you'll have to use your wit and cunning to find a way out, and possibly give a few strangers a hand along the way. However, the shrine is a jealous, desperate thing, and one not content to let you go so easily.
Will you manage to escape, or will the world leave you behind?

i cant find the guitar pick. i looked averywere at the statues
Really enjoyed it! Nearly got the best ending on first try~
A sad story that hits me too close... someone who is introverted and has trouble keeping memory this speaks to me... about being forgotten.
Pretty sure I need to pick up the journal, but I can only read it. Is that a glitch?
You don't actually need to pick up the journal, though there might be some other things in that room that are useful. :)
Yup, found the other things there - all I need is the old book, and the journal was the only old book I found. :)
It's funny - I'm missing just one item from both this game and Pair Dadeni (the key).
This is great, but I've got to know...how do you find the guitar pick?? I found everyone else's lost stuff, even made friends with a rat family, but I can't figure out how to escape with all 3 people. hints??
A few have gotten stuck on that one, don't worry!
It's about where you move the statue in Hikari's area.
It wants out of the spotlight. ;)
Great game and very good use of theme! the game is very story driven. I got lost a bit to start with and I felt that I was just exploring. After I got into the house it made a lot more sense the more I explored. I thought there was some minor bugs but they could easily be polished out with some extra validations and blocking volumes, it didn't stop me from completing the game. I got the 2nd ending (Forwards, forever forwards. I think haha). Overall amazing game, good use of theme and I'm very tempted to play again for a different ending. well done.
So happy to hear to enjoyed it!
Still a few bugs to iron out. I hope I've caught most of the major ones in my polish updates at this point, but the game has rather a lot of moving parts, so to speak so somethings invariably escape my attention , the community have been really helpful in that.
You got the good ending! (There is also a 'best' ending, but two is a generally positive one!)
