About Selective Memory

In this short surreal third-person exploration game, you relive the same set of memories through three emotional lenses: idyllic, mundane, and horrific. Which lens do you wish to remember through?As you loop through each distorted variation, a clearer picture begins to emerge -- but clarity comes at a cost. Eventually, you’ll face a final, irreversible choice. What do you wish to remember? And what are you willing to forget?Key Features:
– Explore fragmented memories across three psychological versions of the same environment
– Uncover hidden details and narrative threads by comparing variations
– Atmospheric third-person gameplay with discovery mechanics
– A haunting, minimalist score and reactive soundscape
– A branching finale based on your choice and emotional alignment

Interesting game, it has a lot of potential in my opinion. I'm not going to lie, I felt lost and wasn't sure what I was looking for. Maybe I rushed the game, maybe I didn't look into things deeply... I wish I could adjust the sensitivity, it felt VERYY slow while turning my camera on mouse + keyboard I really like the visuals though :)

Selective Memory is a very different kind of game, and I liked how quickly it made me curious about what I was actually seeing. Instead of giving me a straightforward story, it has me reliving the same memories through different emotional versions of the world. I found that concept surprisingly effective because the environment itself becomes part of the mystery. The main gameplay is focused on exploring these distorted memories and comparing what changes between them. I have to pay attention to small details, notice things that were not there before and slowly piece together the meaning behind each version. I enjoyed that because the game rewards observation rather than quick reactions. It made me feel like I was investigating my own memories rather than simply walking through a sequence of scenes. The loop structure works especially well because each variation gives me new information. Something that seems ordinary in one version can become disturbing in another, and those differences gradually build a clearer picture of what is happening. I liked the way the game trusts me to make connections instead of explaining every detail immediately. The sound design is another strong p…

It seems like it's trying to be an interactive story, but the very slow turning with the mouse (and invisible walls) really breaks any immersion into it. When it takes a good 3 seconds to turn 90 degrees, it stops being interesting and just becomes frustrating.

this was a very decent game, im very interested in the story and i love the different changes that happen when you loop, the only problem with it is that the mouse sensitivity is so slow. once the sensitivity is fixed id totally recommend this to my friends
