Reminiscence

A game by Riordan Palmer

Solve a Layered and Emotional Mystery

Become a spectral investigator and uncover a tragic story of love, loss, and betrayal. Use clues and conversations to deduce the truth about a colourful cast of suspects, and ultimately take fate into your own hands, choosing a final culprit.

A Place Out of Time

Explore a series of fragmented memories,  retold through gruff narration as you examine the highs and lows contained in the tapestry of a human life. Trek through a unique, impossible, and mind-bending world, seemingly devoid of time.

A Taste of More to Come

Reminiscence is an investigative walking sim focused on telling an engaging story and giving players the opportunity to solve a complex web of deduction puzzles. Players will have to properly identify characters and explore the complicated relationships they have with each other if they hope to solve this mystery. This demo covers an introductory section of the game, including glimpses of the beginning of an expansive narrative as well as key systems for players to reflect on their findings. 

This game was created over a three month period, beginning with initial concept and project proposal and ending with this small vertical slice. The game changed over the course of this development: key themes, settings, and systems were added, altered or removed through this iterative process.  Here you can find a link to a document providing  some resources I used:
