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?

Memoriam is an atmospheric adventure game that sees you pitted against a strange building that appears to have a will of its own, and invites you to explore and discover the other lost souls inside.

Look after yourself, but tread carefully.. how you treat those you encounter will not be forgotten.

Content Warnings: Some swearing. References to crime, homelessness, grief.
