About the Game


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
each artifact you repair is a restored memory trace of San.

- Who is San?
- You don't remember?! You are San!


Are you able to repair all artifacts?!

Will you be able to recover all your memories?
