About Etched Memories Demo
Waking up in the midst of a stormy night, a gray feline named Biscuit finds his mom nowhere in sight. Feel what it is like to be Biscuit as he searches for his mom through the memories he has clung onto.
Travel through a vast forest and rummage through items and documents to learn about the events that transpired. Unlock new mechanics as you experience important story moments.
Etched Memories is a first-person and third-person indie, horror, and cat simulation game. Switch perspectives at the click of a button, depending on your preference. This demo is intended to provide players a glimpse of what the full game will be like once development is complete.
A message from the devs: Etched Memories has an optional, semi-open world hiking feature where players can just enjoy nature and explore if they choose to do so. For players who prefer a straightforward, "linear" path, they may follow the clues provided to proceed through the main story more quickly. In the full version of the game, there will be special locations and easter eggs throughout the map that can be discovered from hiking around. However, please note that this demo will not have these features and the forest will not be as populated. We are a team of two people who will continue to work hard to provide you with a positive gaming experience.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's creative concept and emotional story about a cat recovering memories, praising its visual style and atmosphere. However, the demo suffers from significant technical issues including clunky controls, glitches, inventory management problems, performance optimization needs, and occasional crashes that detract from the experience.
I love the idea. But right now it is not very good gameplay. It's clunky and glitchy. So I will wait, and be back!

youre stupid demo embarrased me on my youtueb livestream by freezing up and then black screen ived hundreds of new games this has never happened only like 1 or 2 other times. https://www.youtube.com/@dreamburrow please subscribe for more failed livestreams :/
Great idea. At the time of playing, very janky. Even at the lowest settings it throttles my GPU to almost 100%. The jumping and movement are very awkward and it's easy to get caught on objects. Touching a tree will get you softlocked. I still don't understand how doors work. Every time I get an item and place it in my inventory the camera resets to 3rd person when I had it on 1st person. There was some photo in my inventory when I first got the bag that somehow just popped out of existence; I saw a message that said "Oops" and then it was gone. Started a new file and it was still gone. Being able to see the image of Biscuit hanging on a ball of yarn to show HP also went away. Trying to put things in inventory after grabbing them is also not intuitive. It's like I'm struggling to get it to register which square I want to place it in. Again, I really like the idea. I seriously do hope that the next update plays more smoothly because this really feels like a fun concept. A word of advice, though: please stop the trend of trying to make every game have 8K raytracing and whatever Super XL XDD GRAFIX. You don't need extensive graphics settings, you need optimization. 100% GPU usage on lo…
Игра 'Etched Memories Demo' оставляет приятное, хоть и меланхоличное впечатление. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в приглушенных тонах и с акцентом на детали окружения, создает атмосферу потерянности и ностальгии. Игровой процесс представляет собой смесь головоломок и платформинга, не слишком сложную, но увлекательную и органично вплетенную в повествование. История о пожилом коте, потерявшем память и пытающемся восстановить воспоминания о своей семье, трогает за душу. Несмотря на демо-версию, чувствуется заложенный потенциал для глубокого и эмоционального повествования. Управление отзывчивое, анимация плавная, что делает взаимодействие с миром комфортным. Музыкальное сопровождение деликатно подчеркивает настроение каждого момента. Единственное, что хотелось бы увидеть в полной версии, это большее разнообразие головоломок и, возможно, более сложные платформенные секции. В целом, демо-версия 'Etched Memories' - это интересный проект, который с нетерпением жду в полном релизе. Игра определённо заслуживает внимания любителей атмосферных приключений с акцентом на историю.
This game seems like it has great potential, i love the idea behind the story. The controls do still need to be optimised but that is to be expected with game demos. My chat seemed to enjoy the game play and the lore that was given. I look forward to playing the full release.
