About the Game

Chapter One - María

Every book in the Library contains a human life.
When María's book begins to fade, you are sent into the memory it holds.
Her memory has become a quiet island: empty streets, abandoned homes, unfinished paintings, broken paths, flowers, water, and light. María is gone.
But the island still remembers her.
At first, it feels peaceful. Beautiful, even.
Then the cracks begin to show.
This place was built around something María could not face.
Explore what she left behind.
Read fragments of her diary.
Inspect abandoned rooms, paintings, and symbolic objects.
Piece together the memories hidden beneath the beauty.
Somewhere along the way, a silent cat appears.
It does not explain itself.
It only waits.

A Quiet First-Person Narrative Adventure

The Vanishing Memories is a first-person narrative adventure focused on atmosphere, exploration, environmental storytelling, quiet mystery, and the memories people leave behind.
There is no combat.
No enemies.
No rush.
Progress comes through observation: reading María's diary, listening to fragments of her memories, noticing small details, solving gentle environmental puzzles, and connecting the places she left behind.
Carefully handcrafted by a small independent team, this is a quiet experience for players who love melancholic worlds, emotional mystery, and stories that stay with them after the screen goes dark. Open the book.
Step into María's memory.
Listen to the life hidden between its pages.
