Some Distant Memory

A hand-drawn story exploration game set 300 years after the apocalypse. You play an archaeologist named Professor Zay, joined by her companion, ARORA, a centuries-old AI capable of recreating human memories from scanned relics.
Two colonies struggle to survive post-apocalyptic Earth. In the NASA-engineered Ares compound, the Professor serves as an interpreter for the artificial intelligence known as ARORA. The other colony, NOAH, has sent a wasteland-hardened but enthusiastic expedition leader, Commander Ti, to assist in a mission of dire importance.

Each colony has preserved its own facets of humanity, and neither truly knows how people used to live. So much has been lost, and the future struggles to survive without the knowledge of the past.


Long ago, humanity thrived. That was before the Collapse, and the corrosive algae bloom that now plagues the planet.

The Professor, Commander, and ARORA will reveal a cast of characters from past Earth. Their possessions and memories still remain, and will grant a new understanding of how people used to live. With the help of ARORA’s abilities, you’ll relive moments from their lives and discover a story of love, creativity, loss, and human perseverance.


The Professor and her companions have made an amazing discovery: a pre-Collapse house, mysteriously preserved underground. Explore the ruins and examine relics from those who used to live there. See memories from the past, and experience story moments in whichever order you find them.
