How does your game fit the theme?
Memories are disappearing one by one. The player must race against time, choosing which memories to revisit before they fade away forever. Every lost memory means losing its hidden keywords, making it harder to reconstruct a person's life. The countdown is not just a timer, but the gradual disappearance of an entire lifetime.

Awesome game! Love the concept and the artstyle, its quite different from the other entries i've tried (in a good way!). Well done!
The artwork is very impressive here and so is the story. It would've been a bit more satisfying with some audio cues. But otherwise great game!
This is a 5/5 in narrative and artwork for sure! Great world building. I honestly see a lot of potential on this to be a full game :) Congrats on an amazing entry!
The concept feels fresh and unique, the artwork is gorgeous, and the storytelling ties everything together into a memorable experience unlike anything I've played before!
The concept of keeping words from memories and use them to build your memories , I think, was one of the coolest ideas for this jam' theme, very good narrative and art style. Keep up the good work! ( Consider trying my game on your way if you want to)
Easily the best artwork ive seen this jam! The concept was very unique too, although it couldve used some audio. Great Job!
Artwork is amazing but the gameplay didn't really click for me. I was mostly confused with the UI, not sure why the portraits were fading. Also spent a solid half a minute clicking the black dialogue box and other things wondering why it didn't disappear only to realise you have to click the red icon specifically.
Amazing narrative driven game with interesting gameplay! But for me the "setting" button didn't work and there were no sounds.
美术相当顶 :-D 创意也不错，完形填空让我想起金偶像。四天做成这样完成度很高了
不过不知道为什么听不到声音，你们那边网页听着是正常的吗，正常的话我再试试
谢谢！确实是来自金偶像的灵感，音乐很抱歉是因为我们提交时限内没有打包好音乐导致的，结束后我们会更新有音乐的版本，再次抱歉TOT
Really great narrative game
Great narrative game with a cool concept
The idea is very creative, the art is amazing, and paired with a great narrative, I don't think I've ever played something quite like this, keep it up! Oh and as others have said, this game deserves some great ambience to go with it!
really cool style and vibe, but it was really missing sound
just some small ambiance would have made all the difference i think
The visual art and the content are outstanding, making the game well worth playing. It tells a story set in ancient China, featuring core gameplay that revolves around selecting key information from various segments.
I look forward to a voiced version in the future, which must enhance the interactivity of the storytelling！
Love the art and the vibes! Would have loved to have some sounds. The storytelling also feels unique.
This is an incredibly creative way of mixing gameplay and storytelling; it has so much potential, please continue working more on it!! Having some freedom in how to portray the story of the soul is also a lot of fun.
Not sure if it's only for me, but I didn't get any music or sound Fx when I played.
Also, the pixel art of the archivist has a lot of style.
Thank you for your comment. I'm really sorry we didn't manage to include the music in the submitted build — as it stands, the game currently has no sound effects at all. We're planning to release an updated version in a future patch!
很惊叹于美术的小巧思设计，用简单的画面讲好故事是非常难的，特别是在这么短的时间内能把里面很多人人物关系讲好是真的强，红与黑的配色也是非常的戳我啊，可以给到夯！
The art style is so cool respect that you manage it to do in 4 days I love it. Great Game
This art style is so cool!! The memory-based deduction gameplay using keywords extracted from conversations is really well done!
Really clever idea for a game, and very well presented. The writing and art in each of the vignettes did a really great job implying a much larger and more elaborate story than the bits of it we get to see. I found myself taking notes on a separate page to keep track of which memories to revisit to get the information I needed, and having to decide which version of the same idea was the best one to collect made it feel like a fun little puzzle. I feel like it did get a little tedious near the end once I'd figured out most of the answers, since at that point I was replaying it just to try changing the same box or two every time. Otherwise, very excellent entry
