Project Status: On-Hold! 〰️
You Will Be Remembered is an experimental adventure game where a simple quest hides a deep and terrible secret. Will you play the hero and save the day, or will you poke at the edges for clues at what’s really going on? The choice is yours, so don’t take it lightly. Whatever happens today, you will be remembered.
Destiny is calling you.
The quest you've trained for all your life is finally about to begin.
Everything you've done, everything you are, has led to this one singular moment in time.
Will you complete your divinely-appointed task? Will you claim the birthright the Saints have handed down to you. Will you be the savior the people of Sunvale need?
Do you have a choice?
----------------------------------------------------------
You Will Be Remembered is an experimental adventure game with a focus on exploration, puzzle solving, and environmental storytelling. Go in with open eyes and a busy mind, and feel free to stop and smell the flowers.
In this in-development demo, not all the secrets of this world will be available to you, but there are plenty of sights to see and doors to be unlocked. There are pieces ready to be put together, but the caverns are always changing, and the deepest truth might be a long time coming.
But that's all needlessly cryptic, isn't it? So let me give you something a bit more concrete. This game has five endings, and if you've only seen one, you've seen practically nothing at all. Don't worry, though. Someone will be along to help you eventually. After all, being a slave to destiny is rather boring.
Are you still here? You won't get any more answers from me. You'll need to find them yourself, though they might be closer than you think.
Q: Okay, cryptic summaries aside, what is this game?
You Will Be Remembered is an experiment in interactive storytelling, inspired by games like The Stanley Parable and The Hex. The game asks you to break its own rules in order to progress and find the real story, in a way that makes every step feel like both an exciting discovery and a profound transgression. Giving away too much more would spoil the fun, hence the cryptic itchio summary. It’s best experienced for one’s self.
Q: So this is a full game?
No. Currently only a demo exists. The project is indefinitely on-hold.
Q: Why is it on-hold?
As much as I love the premise and the work I’ve done so far, I’ve realized that the game is going to need a fundamental structural overhaul in order to really click. While I have a lot of ideas, for the moment I’ve moved on to other projects. This is not to say I won’t be returning to You Will Be Remembered some day. I’ll just need to come back with a solid game plan. Watch this space! You never know what might be lurking.
