MNEMOALGIA

English

“Mnemo — memory. Algos — pain. The irony of it all... I can feel it eating me away from the inside.”

The entire city has plunged into a blackout, sealed off by the Ministry of Urban Isolation. There is no way to reach my parents. And of all times, it had to happen right as the New Year's clock was striking midnight... Miroslav took shelter at my place, but I have no idea where Denis and Kirill are.

KEY FEATURES:

• PS3-Era Retro Aesthetics Meets Modern Atmosphere The authentic spirit of PlayStation 3-era games with low-poly charm, seamlessly blended with realistic volumetric lighting, dense fog, and the suffocating haze of a polar night.

• Artifacts of the Real World Locations, textures, and key objects are captured and brought directly from real life — all to trigger that elusive, deeply instinctual sense of nostalgia.

• A Game of Contrasts: From Liminal Dread to Fleeting Comfort A heavy, suffocating atmosphere of isolation outside gives way to a quiet, rare comfort within... which turns out to be merely a temporary refuge from the creeping dread.

• Living Bonds and the Weight of Loss Your friends might seem annoying or overly loud amidst the harsh reality of a total blackout. But only after losing them will you realize the true weight of loneliness and grief.

• Mid-2000s Nostalgia The spirit of a bygone era in every detail — from mundane household objects to subconscious triggers and audio design notes that force you to relive that era anew.

• A Real-Life Feline Companion My real-life cat is in the game! She will serve as your silent companion in this snowbound hell.

• A Personal, Heartfelt Debut Mnemoalgia is a solo debut project crafted over an entire year — built not for chasing trends, but to deliver a deep, personal experience that will leave a mark on your soul long after the final credits.
