A really fantastic game! Loved the graphics and art style, the whole game looked great! It had so much atmosphere and the music was amazing, along with the voice acting which was really fantastic, it felt very immersive. A really great job all round!  Well done on creating such a great game! 

Really well executed game. I love the visuals, everything fits together perfectly and the environment has a distinct mood about it. The music fit the game well too. I liked the story idea, and what was there was very well written, but i felt it was too fast-paced to really feel for the character, it was almost just like overhearing people talking as you walk by them. I think if time was taken to add more levels and expand the character development, the story would really hold up well on its own. I get that it was supposed to be general rather than a specific person to empathise with, but I still think there could have been some more depth to it. The only issue I had with the gameplay was the cooldown stuff already covered by other people. I found it pretty fun as a way to jump between each story element. Anyway the issues i mentioned are all pretty minor, they barely subtracted from whats still a very atmospheric game. 

Also, I'm curious to know why you called the enemies ichor wraiths. It seems like that name was chosen for a reason but I can't think of what it might be

Very uncommon for a standalone game to be this popular, but in this case the popularity is 100% deserved!

Incredible work on the visuals and soundtrack, and I really appreciate the autofire feature (something a lot of games - including mine - desperately needed).

My only criticism is that the attacks could be balanced a bit better. For example, despite the autofiring, it's still technically better to just spam click since you end up shooting faster. A way to fix this would be to either clamp the fire rate so spamming doesn't work or have the autofire gradually increase fire rate until it roughly matches what a typical player could do with spamming. Also, the bomb/explosion is a bit overpowered and should have a cooldown attached.

Hi, since we messed up with our last comment on this game, I've come back to give a more proper comment. Memoriam is a relaxing shoot 'em game (a combination i did not really expect, but really enjoy). The game prides itself in the story and the narration and writing shows. The mechanics are easy to learn and introducing jumping to finish the game was a great touch. I don't know what the deeper meaning of the story is since i'm not great at deciphering meanings from text, but feels like the protagonist has a new lease on life after awakening. The one, and only, thing that I would've liked to see is a cool down on the explosion because I was able to spam it, making it more effective than the deafult shoot. Otherwise, loved the story and gameplay <3

I was really impressed by the presentation here! The environment design, use of light and particle effects, sound and music, and the voiceover all feel nice and polished for the jam timeframe. I thought the main music that played while fighting the wraiths felt somewhat at odds with the tone expressed by the narration and visual style, but I did like it a lot. Everything else was well-balanced, distinct, and nice to look at; I especially liked how the design of each level felt meaningfully different without using a ton of different assets.

I think the style here is strong enough that you could expand this into a much larger game if you wanted to. The vibes are on point; greater use of enemy types, abilities, and incorporating the environment more could make this a fun and even moving experience if the story was extended. Nice work!

I'm not just in awe with this game. I'm in LOVE with this game!!! Thank you so much for putting this much effort in it. The graphics, the story, the turnaround, DAMN THE AUDIO!!! ... 

wow, beautiful writing, especially for a jam game! i adore the grayscale, low-poly art style, and the game is really juicy. my only complaint would be that the second memory fragment (the one that grants to the ability to create an explosion) is a bit overpowered. you can easily cheese the game by spamming right click. in a future version of the game, i would add a cooldown so it wont be as OP as it is. it would also be cool to see a greater variety of enemies in the game, since right now there just a single one.

But still, this is an amazing jam game. this deserves to get at least top 15.

This is in an another scale amazing game!

I don't know what I can say that 100+ people haven't already covered but the vibes of this game are lovely! The amazing shading of the low poly environments, the inky enemies, the sounds -- everything was combined really lovingly to make a game which is ultimately hopeful in spite of a difficult inner world.

I'd like so bad to play it, but unfortunately I don't have Windows... :') Will there ever be a web version? 

Very cool, I love the title screen!! I just wish there was some way to only turn off voiceovers, I don't usually like to play with them on since they distract me :(

I'm also not very good at gameplay-heavy games like this one and died way too many times (I ended up giving up at the 2nd level...), especially because I don't have a mouse D: pretty disappointed at that because I wanted to experience the narrative/story TT

I think there might be a glitch with the bullets? When I'm moving on the edge of the screen, my bullets aren't detected and the game doesn't detect loss of health or collisions with enemies in the first place.

But overall, I really like the art style!! Good jobbb :D

The atmosphere and sound design are incredible. The graphics work perfectly with the atsmosphere.

Congratulations on the fine-tuning of your game in just one week!
