About Memory Traces: Japan

Memory Traces: japan. is a 3D puzzle game
where the player needs to repair destroyed artifacts.
Its inspiration was Kintsugi, a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. However, it is not a realistic simulator, but an inspiration.
System Color:
The color system helps the player to know when a piece is in the right place: the green color is correct; the red color is incorrect.
San is an archeologist who is losing his memories and
to recover them he seeks help from his therapist in a regression with hypnosis.


In a deep state of regression, San is taken to his first place from his past: Japan.
The fragmented artifacts represent your lost memories and
each artifact you repair is a restored memory trace of San.

- Who is San?
- You don't remember?! You are San!

Are you able to repair all artifacts?!

✦ AI summary

Players generally praise this relaxing 3D puzzle game as an affordable and quick experience perfect for casual play, with pretty models and a chill atmosphere. The main complaints center on finicky controls that require precise angles to place pieces, bland or unnecessary story elements, and missing quality-of-life features like the ability to review completed puzzles or return to previous models after completing the game.

Recommended Feb 8, 2025
Very good and relaxing puzzle game to quickly launch whenever you're too lazy to commit to a long game.
Recommended Dec 24, 2024
This game is ok. It's a nice relaxing 3D jigsaw puzzle game. The controls are a little finicky and often don't accept the right piece in the right spot unless you're extremely close to the perfect angle. Which can be a bit annoying. But over all it's reasonable for the price. The models are pretty, the music is generic but not distractingly so. There is no story and what is there is kinda bland. I think it would have been better without the story to be honest. Once you've beaten it the game restarts from the beginning. I'd like to see something like this with touch screen controls, the ability to go back to previous models from a level screen, and maybe even a display area to see all the finished puzzles in one place.
Recommended Dec 23, 2024
Pretty relaxing puzzle game about building vases and statues. For the cheap price especially on sale, I'd say it's a hidden gem! Has a few issues with placing pieces needing the exact right angle, but once you learn how to do it it's not a big deal.
Recommended Dec 6, 2024
so it was OK, I preferred the Egyptian version tho. some times you can be trying to place the piece but if you havn't rotated the puzzle just right it wont register, which can be a little irritating. also I'm not such a fan of the designs of the art. but it was still a good challenge.
Recommended Oct 31, 2024
For what it costs its worth it. It is a game you finish in an evening, but it was relaxing.
Recommended Sep 25, 2024
C tier, buy on sale. It's a rougher experience than the Egypt version, clearly earlier without certain quality of life controls like the ability to rotate the model with keys as you drag pieces with the mouse.
