About the Game

Escaping the Burden of Adulthood

The responsibilities of being an adult, piling bills, and endless work days... Our 21 year old protagonist dreams of escaping this exhausting reality and returning to the carefree days of his childhood. And one day, the impossible happens. He opens his eyes to find that the suffocating life has vanished, and he is a child again. He is now wandering through the comforting memories of the past.

No Monsters, Only Memories

There are no creatures jumping out of dark corners or survival stress in this game. Take a deep breath, explore your room, and watch the snow falling through the window. There is no rent, no bills. It is just you and your childhood.

This nostalgic dream will not last forever. To progress through the memories, you need to carefully inspect your surroundings:

  • Explore and Interact: You can pick up and closely inspect almost every object in the room.

  • Read the Past: Discover the hidden memories behind the items and relive those days.

  • Feel the Atmosphere: The walking speed is perfectly balanced to keep you engaged without ruining the melancholic and nostalgic vibe. Even the thematic UI and menus are designed to pull you completely into this dream. 

  • Beware the Trap of Nostalgia: Piece the memories together to move to the next scene. But remember, becoming too obsessed with the past can slowly consume your present life. Is staying in this sweet dream forever truly a "good" thing?

Developed with the power of Unreal Engine 5 (Nanite and Lumen), Childhood Memories offers hyper realistic graphics. Moreover, DLSS support is available so you can experience this dreamlike world smoothly. Even if you do not have an RTX graphics card, you can enjoy a seamless experience without losing any of the atmosphere thanks to the in game settings.
