Memory Traces: Japan

Memory Traces: Japan is a 3D puzzle game in which you repair fragmented artifacts. The pieces represent the lost memories of San, an archaeologist who is losing his memory. During a hypnosis session with his therapist, San enters a deep regression and is taken to Japan, the first place from his past. Each artifact you restore becomes a recovered trace of his memories.

Repair the artifacts

The game draws inspiration from Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, but is not a realistic simulator. A color system indicates whether a piece is in the right place: green means correct, while red means incorrect. You assemble 1,000 pieces across 25 levels and 3 phases, with 25 artifacts to restore.

Japan-inspired content

The puzzles feature three sceneries inspired by Japan, with 10 bowls, 10 pitchers and 5 statues. They also include 17 patterns and illustrations. Relaxing, meditative music and smooth sound effects accompany the gameplay.
