MEDIEVAL MEMENTOS

Relive waning memories

Medieval Mementos is a first person narrative focused game experience set in a fictional medieval village in the 15th century. In it, the player relives certain moments in the life of the first person protagonist Johan, from his earliest memory to his inevitable death as a grown man.

The story unfolds via dialogues he remembers and the inner monologue of Johan that slowly evolves from a disconnected narration of his memories to active comments on the aspects of his life, as the timeline creeps upon his last moments.

An important narrative aspect we tried to achieve was to deliver a critical examination of the romanticized middle ages. Thus, our narrative emphazises the harsh and cruel living conditions that peasants endured, without going so far as to deliver a purely cynical image of the times.

The gameplay consists of a given path on which story events trigger one after another and small hub areas in which the player has to find and slot in a missing item that is indicated by an outline of where the item is supposed to be.

The visual layer of our game is also a focus point. Unreals Lumen technology and Unreals procedural content generation framework together with the highly detailed, handcrafted village environment delivers state of the art visual fidelity.
