Our take on Painted Memories
The defining detail is its unguided progression: players must work out both where to travel and what to do, rather than following directions through the adventure.
What is Painted Memories?
Painted Memories is an action-adventure game with action RPG elements.
Progress through environments using equipment such as a crossbow and torch while encountering creatures, bosses, and puzzles. Exploration is self-directed: the game does not guide players toward destinations or solutions, so discovering where to go and what to do is part of the journey.
