Forgetter

Forgetter is an exploration game set in the near future. You are the 114th Forgetter, working for Mindjob, a technology company that recycles the minds of deceased artists by modeling them into pain-free, creative minds for newborns. You enter these mindscapes to identify and remove traumatic memories.

Clean the mindscapes

You explore the artists’ minds, destroy objects tied to their traumatic memories—including real-life artworks—and vacuum up the debris. You also comfort the consciousnesses that remain and escort them to eternal peace. Many of the memory blocks take the form of Chinese contemporary artworks from the dslcollection, which are woven into the story.

Artists and memories

As you work, you witness episodes from the artists’ lives and may travel through time from the 1980s to the 2010s. The game presents contemporary art as a school in human art history and invites you to experience the artworks within the mindscapes. Doing a good job can earn you a bonus, in addition to your salary.
