Wish I could play. No matter what button I press, I can't start the game after the title screen.
Hi there, sorry for the technical trouble! Could you tell us more about the situation? What controller/keyboard you used, which buttons were pressed, the platform you were playing from, whether you were playing in browser or from the download, etc.
Very pretty visuals, the combat was easy to understand & concept is very intriguing. Although the game was short, it was very enjoyable!
I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for playing :D
I loved this game and hope to see more just like it. The cute art of the protagonist being in such stark contrast to everything else was amazing. The combat was simple to grasp & the design of it was so good. The story pulled me in with such simple portrayal of literally cutting your memories down & the mixed media really brought it home, creepy vibes n all.
Fantastic job! I cannot wait to see what is to come in the future.
p.s. I want that tiny marshmallow, they are freakin adorable!
Thank you so much for playing :D and including your reaction! I'm glad you enjoyed it! We're working on some projects to hone our skills before revisiting a similar theme and aesthetic for a larger scale project. Hope you will stick around for it!
That was awesome :D it was a little bit short, but the fighting style and the difference that your actions mean at the end is a great way of telling the story! I loved this.
Thank you sm! I'm glad you enjoyed it! We only spent about a month and a half working on the game, so that's why it's on the shorter side.
Art direction is amazing, even though the game was really short it made me get goosebumps so fast, I also love how each enemy has a unique set of attacks and how smooth the game runs even though it's so short
i would rate this 1 milion stars if i could
I just saw this but thank you !! This is the game we spent the most time on so it has more variation than the others. Thank you for playing!
i am deeply disturbed. thank you
From start to finish, this game was a joy. From the music to the story, the entire experience left me wishing for more. While not extremely lengthy, I feel that Forget Me Not has captured my attention in many ways that so many triple A games fail to. Simply cannot wait to see what you do next, both in this game and future projects!
Thank you so much! We've just started planning our next project and I hope you'll enjoy it too :D
Very nice game, the character is cute and I love the art direction you took ! The controls are so fluid I really think you should continue for a bit with this game it's really really cool. One thing is that the effect when killing an enemy and getting hurt is a bit violent for my eyes, maybe add an option to turn it off or less powerful and also I don't know if it's a bug but
SPOILERS (I tried it twice, at the end I beat the last enemy in a black room and the game just froze I don't know if this is normal. Also yes I didn't get the cinematic at the beginning on both html and download windows version)
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed our game. I do hope we can continue to work on it and touch things up a bit before we wrap it. Things have been a bit busy for the both of us, so it'll definitely be a bit of time til we do.
(Spoiler response: The game is meant to freeze and close at the very end!)
