Archive of Memories by Síria Games

[raw]
made by Síria Games for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Archive of Memories


Description

You wake up... or maybe not.

The world around you is in pieces, suspended between the real and the forgotten. Your only task is simple: collect memories scattered throughout the void and archive them, as you've always done in your work.

However, the further you walk, the more you realize something is out of place. Echoes of the past, fragments of feelings, and distant noises seem to watch you with every step. It's up to you to decide what's worth remembering... and what should remain lost.

Gameplay


Explore silent and mysterious environments in search of memory fragments. Each collected memory reveals a small piece of a larger story, pieced together by you.

Use the commands below to orient yourself:

W, A, S, D – Move

Space – Jump

E – Interact

Esc – Pause or exit

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere, paying attention to the details of the VOICES.

About the game


The Archivist is a short narrative experience about memories, forgetting, and the burden of preserving the past. Created by Mehran, it combines a minimalist aesthetic with a melancholic setting and a narrative plot. The game is top-down and low-poly.

### Considerations:

The game contains some bugs and poorly designed models. I apologize, but I don't have much time to run a game jam.

If you notice any bugs, I'd appreciate it if you could comment here.

Successfully cleared the game. Collected five memory points. After finding the key, it felt natural to open the initial chest. The subtle narrative elements throughout were quite satisfying. However, character models and music/sound effects are equally important—these details could be further refined in the future.

@sylviachord Thank you very much, yes, I didn't have time to do things like characters and sound effects, I missed the first day of the jam so I had to rush to make the game. Your feedback was amazing, thank you.

sorry, the game won't launch. I was looking forward to collecting memories, I love a mystery.

@jver422 Wow, why didn't it start? Can you report a bug? The game launcher is called Archive of Memories, it might take a while to load, but that's because there are a lot of 3D models.

maybe, my download screwed up, I'll redownload and try again tomorrow. I never had the option of sending an error report, my screen just went black for a while before showing my desktop again with no open application.

@sylviachord Bro now that I've seen it, my update didn't load the game in the current version. I made updates before publishing, but they weren't saved in the repack. I'd like you to play the game again to see the actual version. (Which has music included, but wasn't saved.)

## Just a quick note for everyone rating games:
While exploring entries, I noticed this user leaving very harsh, non-constructive comments on others’ work (see screenshot).

I’m not here to tell you how to rate their game — that’s up to you. I just think it’s worth seeing how this person speaks to fellow devs.

It’s important that the jam stays a positive space where creators can use feedback to improve, grow, and find their audience. Simple insults can crush beginners’ motivation and stop them before they discover their potential.

**Let’s keep this a supportive place that helps developers learn and push forward instead of tearing them down.**

@solvenoff I apologize if it seemed insulting. I don't speak English and use a translator. The game had no content, and I expressed myself incorrectly. I apologize.

Красавчик чувак, не слушай что там тебе пишут, никогда не ставь чужие чувства выше правды. Ты делаешь всё правильно

I managed to finish the game and gather all five memory fragments. The pacing and environmental storytelling were really well done — I liked how the clues and objects tied together without needing much dialogue.

Nice start! I appreciate the amount of 3d modeling here. I stick with 2d in jam games because I'm a terrible artist, so I definitely have respect for folks who venture into the third dimension! Looks like you now have a bunch of great assets to use in future projects. It does seem more like a tutorial level than an actual game, but that's often what jam games end up being anyway. I haven't seen many .blend games here in the past. Reminds me of my first time getting into Blender. :)

@good-enough lol, I learned to make games in Blender (which, let's be honest, is not a good game engine), but since I learned to make games with it, I had to adapt to 3D, now that I'm starting in 2D and I saw how much easier it is. Thank you for your feedback
