Remembrance is the story of a woman named Kim who wakes up in a bizarre place with only hazy memories of her past and how she got there. Together with a strange, magic-wielding entity named Jesse, she sets out in search of what she's lost, as well as to complete the mission assigned to her that, in Jesse's words, is of the utmost importance.

As she recovers and reflects on the memories of her life, however, Kim quickly realizes that some of the more powerful feelings and impressions in her mind, despite their nostalgic familiarity, don't match up with any of her memories...

Estimated play time: 3-4 hours

A Few Announcements (and 700+ downloads!!)

Hello hello, everyone! It's been quite some time since I last checked in here, heheh. I've been keeping very busy indeed with work on Remembrance's sequel, Permanence, but I'm nevertheless delighted to see that people are still finding, downloading, and playing through the first game! Over the past several months, there's been a few Remembrance-related updates that I wanted to share.

Firstly, there's a Russian translation available for Remembrance:
https://anivisual.net/stuff/7-1-0-3116

A huge thank you and kudos to bizDICK for volunteering to translate it and seeing it through to completion despite the reams and reams of text in the game!

Secondly, I've published the game's OST on Bandcamp:
https://kyousystem.bandcamp.com/album/remembrance-ost

In addition to Bandcamp being probably more convenient to use than Youtube for this, the tracks on there have been re-rendered for (hopefully) better audio fidelity. Between that and being able to stream/download them in a format other than the low-bitrate MP3s to which RPG Maker 2003 limited me, I figured it was worth mentioning for the 5 or 6 people who might be interested, heh.

Thirdly, I've been made aware of another completed Let's Play of Remembrance, this time by Adaru32:

Thank you so, so much for your continued interest in my work!

As for the fanart could you imagine Ashley interacting with characters such as Bart,Homer,Milhouse,south park kids,kids from stranger things,Rick and Morty and etc.That is way I like crossovers:)

as for the gods finding a way to destroy Ashley I think there exist the right kind of people that could rip Ashley a new one or give her a run for her money:D
here is my top10 list:)

I hope this will help you(and trust me if this game gets viral people are gonna do some crazy shit with the characters I em talking about porn,very sick parodies,very stupid shit and trust me I have been there and witnessed the crazy and I like it).
Ah, thank you very much for all the kind words! And I love the fanart!

(For anyone reading this, beware the plot spoilers in the rest of this comment.)

As for your analysis, certainly it seems like Ashley is playing god in her decision-making about what parts of existence are left alone versus what parts she destroys, especially considering how capricious she is and how she all but refuses to acknowledge anyone's authority but her own, heheh. And, to be sure, Seloventra (and by extension Umbra and Melancholia) would love nothing more than to find some way to kill or otherwise dispose of Ashley.

These topics are exactly the sort of thing that I'm planning to address and explore in Remembrance 2, as it so happens. I don't want to give too much away, of course, but I will say that there's more to Ashley than the foul-mouthed, wise-cracking, shapeshifting manipulator you see in-game. She never really gave a straight answer to Kim about who and what she was, you'll recall. For that matter, it's not entirely out of the question that Seloventra et al might end up finding a way to seal Ashley away....

In any case, thank you again for playing and taking the time to write up your thoughts (and for the fanart)!
also here is some fanart of Ashley ready to fight demons with characters from other
franchise in this epic crossover

As much I have some disagreement with Ashley she is the favorite character in the game she is cool,edgy and is one of those hey guys what are you doing can I join?
And also Happy Halloween
People say that RPG maker is a softver with a lot of crap games but knowing from my
experience there are some unique and good games on this softvare and Remembrance is one of them

In terms of gameplay its your standard rpg with Different characters that have different abilities who are fighting different monsters,it has bosses,puzzles and mazes(one of them end that is very hard to navigate).The gameplay is good

in terms of story its like this you have this girl named Kim who died and ended up in some limboland and trys to uncover her memories, and was choosen to fight the enemies of hope and suffers a lot of traumas even after she died because hey no rest for the dead.And then you have another character named Jessie who is the assistant of the gods and looks after her,giveing her encouragementm,and is very sweet and nice person but is ignorent of humans and human way of life and is one of those people who does not question others(like the gods for instance).And then you get Ashley a characters thats edgy,swears,gives characters funny nicknames but will question people,give advices,help people and has a lot of knowledge on humans.One might think in the first glance that she is evil(but she is actually not that bad).The reason I em saying this is because of her destroying universes,now this is just my opinion while in her mind she thinks she destroys worlds she believes are dieing to me thats a red flag its like she is playing god and gives her self the right to decided what worlds can live which ones can,t live,and who is to say her decisions to destroy a lot of those universes was based on her perception(that can be very subjective) and also wouldn't her destroying a lot of universes corrupted her to the point when she would not care if those universes are dieing or not(power corrupts).

and then you have the gods who who se the problems of the crawlers and decided to use measures of containment,and pick a hero to fight them I can understand Ashleys point of view that some of the action of gods make no sense and that there the there measures aren,t the best but still they are no,t evil,its not like they don,t give a fuck what happens and were nice enought to give kim powers to travel to other dimensions.And I wish gods found a way to get rid of Ashley like they would eventually found a way to get rid of the crawlers and so what if they made mistakes,you can always learn from them.

but then again the entire story focuses on the struggles of Kim and characters such as Jessy and Ashley serve as encouragement to her(in there own ways)its like the story is telling you if you have emotional problems maybe you need friends or family members to help and encourage you(I think a story like that could make a good use of stoic philosophy because in my opinion it could help kim in her traumas (I know it because it helped me in controling my emotions and impulses) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLOB6hj3M_Q&t=2s
and all of the monsters are symbol of negative emotions and she has to fight those negative emotions.And in the end she finds happiness even with all of the traumas. the end

If anyone is interested, I can write up a post with a few pointers for navigating through the mazes in the last segment of the game, since I understand that I made at least one of them perhaps TOO difficult (and since I'm admittedly reluctant to tamper with the game anymore beyond typos and bugfixes now that it's been out for a while).

Hello! Can I translate your game into Russian?
Certainly! I'm flattered that you enjoyed it so much that you want to translate it, especially considering the reams and reams of dialogue in it, heheh.
It's not a problem for me. xD
Well, by all means feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I don't know how much I'd be able to help with the translation work directly, as I don't know a lick of Russian, but I'll gladly clarify/elaborate on any parts of the dialogue or characters if you're unsure about something!

One of the best games available on this site. A must play for everybody fan of psychology and life/death stories. The storytelling is on top and doesn't fail to deliver its message. The dialog is captivating and it delivers the emotions and personalities of the characters very well. The characters are likable and relatable to the point where you can feel empathy. Simply amazing.

Everything works out as it should, although the combat gameplay is not a strong point (after you get Ashley and Rook, everything is easy) and the MAZES are sometimes mildly-infuriating, they're not impossible and don't halt or ruin the experience in any way.

Congrats, mate. And thanks for Jesse.

Cheers.
