Some Distant Memory

Some Distant Memory is a non-violent, character-driven story set on a post-apocalyptic Earth where two colonies struggle to survive. In the NASA-engineered Ares compound, the Professor interprets for ARORA, an artificial intelligence. Commander Ti, an enthusiastic expedition leader hardened by life in the wasteland, arrives from the other colony, NOAH, to help with a mission of dire importance.

Humanity once thrived, but the Collapse and a corrosive algae bloom now plaguing the planet have left the future struggling without knowledge of the past. The Professor, Commander Ti and ARORA uncover a pre-Collapse house preserved underground. You explore its ruins and examine the possessions and memories of the people who lived there centuries ago, learning how people once lived and revealing the fates of the house’s former residents.

Explore the past

With ARORA’s abilities, you relive moments from the lives of people from past Earth. You find story moments as you read and explore, and can experience them in whichever order you discover them. The story moves at your pace as you piece together its scenes.

Mysteries and characters

The discoveries raise questions about what caused civilization to fall, the glitches in your computer and the people who lived in the house. The story explores family, romance, friendship and grief through a diverse cast of characters from past and future Earth, and follows themes of love, creativity, loss and human perseverance.

Soundtrack

The atmospheric soundtrack is by ToyTree (Amos Roddy), composer for Strafe, Kingdom, Kingdom: New Lands and Kingdom: Two Crowns.
