Hi peeps,

This is an announcement posted in regards to the situation over at Steam Store.

It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing this, that in 2 weeks Memoir will be removed from the Steam store. The purchase option has been hidden which some of you may have noticed, as to the reason we will announce below.

To make it clear, this does not mean that Memoir will cease to exist. It will stay available right here on itch.io.

Moving on, the reason which led to this decision is that we are closing down Memoir’s hosting  company, Ren Production, as we are no longer able to sustain the company. This affects Memoir’s sale on Steam because the distribution right was registered to the said company.

We would like to transfer distribution rights. However, proper and legal obligation requires us to transfer the distribution rights to a personal owner basis with another application fee of 100USD which we don’t think we can afford.

To the existing players of Memoir on Steam, you will not be affected. We have already confirmed with Steam’s support team that our game will continue to be available in your library to be downloadable and playable game. Community and discussion forums will also stay available, but only to existing users.

Following this announcement, we will be hosting a sale of Memoir’s copy on itch.io’s store at a reduced price of about 75% discount that will run for about 2 weeks until the eventual removal of Memoir's Steam store page.

We thank you tremendously for your support thus far. It was a short run, but Memoir had its limelight which was worthwhile for us to make all of this happened.

Cheers,

Oori.
