me and the time war

About

This game is about the process of remembering.

Theres this feeling of inbetween-ness and liminality when you try to remember something, that penultimate moment before you either forget or remember. To me that process is very visual, surreal and dreamlike and with this game I tried to visualize it through three different levels that each represent a step in that process for me. I used computer errors and digital memory as a metaphor for how fragmented and surreal trying to remember can be. As well as the metaphor of tragedy for surpressed memories and how sometimes not remembering is the better option. 

This is a demo/the first part of a project, more soon.
