A point and click adventure game with magic realism elements that tells the story of a young woman who gradually realizes that she is forgetting her own name. But is she really losing her memory, or is there something else that could explain the strange situation?

    The beautiful hand-drawn adventure takes place in a quiet little town where a few ordinary people live together with some more unusual characters. From a World War II veteran to an elephant taking shelter in a man’s cottage hoping to become a human, everyone in Memoranda has one thing in common: they are all on the verge of losing something. It could be a name, a loved one or even their own sanity!

    The story is inspired by various Haruki Murakami short stories that describe a surreal world full of lonely characters.    … Expand

Developed by Bit Byterz, the game is set in an anthropomorphic world where humans and animals live side by side, in a time period that you can’t quite put your finger on. But underneath the fantastical domain that this Kickstarted game manages to conjure up quite successfully, is a very personal story dealing with existential themes and subject of isolation. The hand drawn visuals add further charisma to the game with the whole experience feeling in some ways like a lucid dream. While most of the puzzles in the game involves retrieving items and giving them to the troubled townsfolk, Memoranda is fond of throwing you curveballs throughout. The pieces of the puzzle that flood your inventory may not seem appropriate, perhaps even illogical, for the purposes of fulfilling the quests in your journal. Overall, Memoranda conjures up a brilliantly surreal world that, much like the works of Murakami, is a joy to wander around. The literary roots are apparent throughout, with each solved mystery leaving you with a cliffhanger in the form of another item or area to explore that will keep you hooked throughout.… Expand
