Depth of Memory by feralpoodles
Dr. Brenner has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a strange device that can extract memories from objects. You're the detective that's trying to piece together what happened to him. Explore the Dr.'s lab and dig deeper and deeper into his memories to figure out what happened to him in this 3D puzzle/escape room game.
Created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 48! This was my first time participating in Ludum Dare, and I had a lot of fun (in between the nervous breakdowns)! Hope you guys like, be sure to leave comments letting me know what you think! :)
IMPORTANT!! If you're playing the web version, once you get in the lab, hit the escape key, center your cursor on the dot in the middle, and then click. This will enable you to pick up objects correctly, as itch doesn't seem to lock your cursor in the middle

(PS, the download on itch is missing the other files to run the game! The web version mostly works, but at first I had some trouble picking up items, a refresh helped)
There was good amount of items to scan and clues were good; I felt smart getting something right!
Although thanks to @vimlark that's not going to be a problem anymore :wink:
The music is an excellent fit for the game: both intriguing and relaxing, which is the best kind of music any kind of detective game can hope for in my opinion.
The visual design is very good and makes the game easy to navigate.
I always thought that this kind of game would take a long time to design... it's incredible that you were able to make it happen in just 48 hours!
Congrats! :smile:
Graphics are great, the story and gamplay is intriguing and well-written. Very polished for a ludum dare entry!
I can't believe you made a freakin scape room on a game jam!! This is super cool, puzzles are very well thought, there's a lot of divertion to make you think otherwise, elements are very well placed and general gameplay is ver balanced. HTML5 version wasn't working for me, click didn't do anyhitng for some reason, I had to download the windows verison.
The only thing I could "complain" was that maybe when stuff was already deciphered you could make them dissapear or at least go back to their original place, I kept piling stuff on the reading devices and I wasn't sure what was the final objective of what I was doing.
Very well done, I loved it!
Really amazing game! I couldn't stop playing till i find out haha.
I had problems with the web version, and took me a while to notice how to pick objects. No problem with the downloadable version though.
The athmosphere, idea, graphics and sound, all makes sense in this game. Great work!
It could be my monitors resolution, but I had a lot of trouble reading the sticky notes.
Good job on your first LD entry!
- Wow!
- I really liked it but I couldn't find the hint about the computer and plant
- The periodic table I never used can you answer me why that is needed.
the music was quite discret but nice, and the graphics were pretty effective. Nice job!
