Photographic Memory by Adam Konig

made by Adam Konig for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Photographic Memory is a game about looking back at your memories to help recall the things your friends and loved ones want to talk to you about. However, much like real memories they fade over time so don't look at them too long or they'll get blurry! Use the scrubber or the buttons to traverse your memories and click the summon memory thought bubble to show them to the person who's talking to you.

A very unique game, the amount of polish is honestly crazy. Not sure I really understood it on the deepest level, but did complete it nonetheless. The music was great, I would not have thought this was made in a single weekend, good job!

I too wish I could pull out the memory of the day I was born.

The graphics look really clean, love the ui. Not great at memory games, but you did a good job.

I love the collage art style! A very original interpretation of the theme, and a cool game mechanic, well done!

This worked great on mobile ❤️ very fun take on the theme! I played this happily in bed after finishing the jam! (Thank you so much for playing our game on stream btw)

How did you make the sound for flipping through the pictures? It is super satisfying✨️

@gravityflip we actually re-used a sound effect I made for a mobile game we made last year called "Card Slap" its the sound of a playing card hitting a table. Glad you liked it!

I'm not sure I've ever played anything like this! The audio has a good suburban vibe to me, and I like the rough sketches of the characters - almost like it's reflective of the approximate nature of your memories! Very cool

Distinctive style and feels pretty polished to me for a jam game. Excellent UI. Nice work!

This was a super interesting and unique concept! The idea of having to flip through random, chaotic images and find the one that a person is vaguely alluding to is a really neat idea and although there aren't many stages, it was super satisfying to play through.

Everything from UI to sound to graphic style is crisp and polished. Very well done!

A well polished game, I cant really fault the graphics, audio or otherwise. I do wish there was something more to the gameplay however, but I can definitely see it fit well into a bigger picture

Interesting interpretation of summoning. I like it. I haven't played any games like this.

This is just awesome. Breath-taking. Made me feel inspired and wistful, watching someone else's memories and trying to sort out what happened. The memories itself are fun and form a nice little story. Could've played the game longer, it's unfortunate how quickly it was over :')

Awesome game idea! Your game and studio have unique art style, looking forward playing your games on Steam :wink:

I enjoyed the structure of the gameplay -- scrolling to guess which image goes with which story. And the music changes are a great touch to help put you in the mood to find the right photo (like the surfer garage rock track for skateboarding).

I think this game format has lots of potential -- currently it's fairly straightforward, but I can imagine the story and matching mechanic could become increasingly complex!

Interesting game! I like it!

I was looking forward to uncovering more memories! The mechanic of "find the picture matching this description" was very fun. I would love to see a story told through this style gameplay, it seems like a fantastic medium for it.

The gameplay mechanics in this game are so intuitive! It's like the controls become an extension of your own instincts. Plus, the art style adds a unique flair that keeps you engaged throughout. Definitely a gem worth exploring!

Nice game, i really like that every character is unique, with their own soundtrack and way they're speaking. I can see that you put a lot of effort into this game!

Music hits just right! Nice cohesion of aesthetics, audio, and overall assemblage.

Very fun idea, great music and loves the "voice acting". Super fun art as well! Short and sweet to boot.
