Memento Mori

About this game

A game made for the ones we lost on the way.

Experience a surreal, linear walking simulator that explores the themes of death and grieving the passing of a loved one. Waking up in a unknown forest, you find yourself lost and looking for answers, will you find what the clarification you have been looking for or will you find more questions then answers.

Dealing with grief and loss

A thing that everyone is forced to deal with for as long as humankind came into being is loss and grief. So we wanted to make a game that wasn't just special to us but that can also be special to people struggling with the same issues.

A show don't tell journey

Memento Mori is a show, don't tell experience that can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone no matter what language they speak due to the lack of dialogue and text.

WolfWare Studios

WolfWare Studios is a independent game development duo who started making Memento Mori during the second quarter of 2022. Before the production of Memento Mori both Shea Kelly (Creative lead) and Alekzandar Voynikov (Technical lead) made video games for game jams and to produce a medium they have both loved for as long as they can remember.

  Update Log

  Hey everyone Alex here from Wolfware Studios. First up we want to thank you for all of the great reception we have garnered since the released of Memento Mori. With over 1000 downloads several art works and videos as well as reviews ranging from positive to negative, it’s hardly worth saying that it surpassed all expectations we had in terms of the release for our first title. Now moving on to the actual update: Performance Improvements As stated as well as observed by us and people that have played the game in the past month, performance has been quite appalling for the game despite the limited graphics and size. Therefore, the last month since the release of the game has been spend by me learning as well as applying different optimisation techniques in order to bring the game to a performance standard of a modern game. Currently since the update, the game is able to smoothly run at stable 60fps all thorught the game except for two small sections (However they should not be noticeable). As this is the first ever game to frankly reach anywhere near the releasing stage I must admit I fully overlooked optimisation and want to apologise for that. Although it most likely still requires some attention as we are unable to test how the game runs on really low end pc we are hoping you as our community as well as any future players will provide feedback regarding the performance. General Changes Now moving away from the main part of the update thorough all of the videos that have been uploaded to YouTube of people playing the game we noticed several missing elements to even a game breaking bug that needed immediate attention. As most of these changes are quite minor and did not require as much of an attention as performance (besides the game breaking one) they will be listed under the general changes section. • Placed missing guitars inside apartment 2 to 4 • Placed missing sofa pillows in reflection apartment • Made it so players are able to use both escape and the “Resume”...
