- Big demo update! - 14 July 2022
A big update to the Recollection demo has just been released. Most prominently, you can now try out the second game mode ("fragile" mode), after having finished the demo in "natural" mode. (keep going at the end to unlock it) Also, the game now saves your progress in both modes and lets you continue or start a new game. I hope you enjoy the new content :) Here's a little playthrough video for both modes: Cheers, Erkberg
- UI update for the demo! - 17 June 2022
The whole user interface of Recollection got a shiny update! It is now much cleaner, easier to read, and you can see the game in the back! The credits now list all tools I use for development, if you're curious. The player characters eyes watch closely what you're adjusting. :) But my favorite is the animated cursor, so lively!
