Our take on Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER
The presentation gives equal billing to the psychic premise, returning characters, pixel art, voice acting, and FM music. The core activity is narrower: using a point-and-click interface to investigate fragmented memories while following a story about Golden Butterfly.
What is Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER?
ES88 is a newly trained psychic operative working for MINERVA, a group focused on data research, neural technology, and phenomena beyond ordinary senses.
Using the Neurodiver, a genetically engineered mental companion, ES88 enters other people's recollections to gather impressions and evidence, mend damaged memories, and drive out the enigmatic Golden Butterfly. This point-and-click adventure revisits Neo-San Francisco with a fresh plot and characters, alongside returning figures from 2064: Read Only Memories. Exploration spans the city, MINERVA sites, and inner mental landscapes. Its presentation uses anime-influenced pixel visuals, moving character art, spoken performances, and music modeled on the FM audio of PC-8801 and PC-9801 systems.
