Memory Traces: japan. is a 3D puzzle game
where the player needs to repair destroyed artifacts.
Its inspiration was Kintsugi, a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. However, it is not a realistic simulator, but an inspiration.

System Color:
The color system helps the player to know when a piece is in the right place: the green color is correct; the red color is incorrect.

San is an archeologist who is losing his memories and
to recover them he seeks help from his therapist in a regression with hypnosis.
In a deep state of regression, San is taken to his first place from his past: Japan.
The fragmented artifacts represent your lost memories and
