About this game

Memory Palace, for people who love memory card games.

Game Modes

  • Adventure - Someone kidnapped the princess! To save her you must match all the cards, without losing all your HP, in increasingly difficult encounters. Don't worry, there are powerful items and equipment to help overcome the Elephant King's powerful henchmen.  And someone is leaving notes around with clues on where to go.

  • Arcade - Set your own puzzle size and play a traditional game of Memory. Best times and fewest moves for each category are saved.

Over World

Use the mouse or WASD to explore the palace and its surrounds. Approach an enemy to begin a battle. Press ESC or click the return icon in the top right to ESCAPE the battle and return to the over world. Useful for taking another look at the overturned cards at the start of a battle.

There are notes to read and signs to follow however an exceptionally skilled player can also march right in the palace main entrance and straight up the towers.

Combat - Memory Game

The goal is to match pairs of cards to do damage to your foes. A missed match allows each enemy to deal damage back. You are awarded XP for each win. When you level up you gain 1 HP to help you last longer in more difficult fights. 

Harder enemies have more cards making them more challenging to take down. They can also gang up, allowing weaker enemies to present a formidable challenge. On top of this, many enemies have unique abilities that affect the cards in interesting and challenging ways.

When a battle starts, all cards are facing up for a moment giving you a chance for a quick appraisal and the hugely satisfying Perfect Match. By matching all the cards in a battle without a single mistake you achieve a Perfect Match and receive double experience for that fight.

Find and equip armor to negate incoming damage, completely re-framing the challenge.

Find and use health pots to restore hp in battle, lanterns to illuminate the cards in battle and other powerful items to help give you an edge. If you do run out of HP you will respawn at the last campfire you visited. Your progress is automatically saved.

Development

Memory palace is under active development and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. If you are passionate about memory card games then i want hear from you how I can make Memory Palace the best experience it can possible be.

For those who read this far, thank you, and I hope you enjoy Memory Palace.

Daniel Griffin.

    Memory Palace Demo is live

    Memory Palace Demo v0.1.0 is live :)I'm sure there are tons of bugs to find.While the English and German localisations were done by hand, the Chinese, Japanese and other languages are automated localisations from the english text. I have not included them as features on steam as I cannot verify them myself, but they can be selected through the settings. Anyone interested and able to assist with the localisations should get in contact here on the community pages.I hope you enjoy the demo and please let me know what I can do to improve the experience :)Daniel Griffin
