Memento Mori is a short game about death.

Play it here

It was made rather quickly in Construct 2. My friend Morvan made the music, I made everything else.

While a bit depressing, the game does a very good job at getting its message to the player Good job

great game!

Thank you.

Is there something wrong with being a bit (or more) depressing? Do games always have to be cheerful or at least not depressing?

Thanks.

Oh no, I have no problem with depressing themes. I was just pointing that out. If you were not going for depressing and it was coming off that way then we'd have a problem.

I believe in god and in afterlife , and you should ...

Thanks guys, though I have no idea what you tried to say.

• I dig what you are doing, but I think you have an over-reliance on text.
• While I agree whole-heartedly that there is no god, I think the inclusion of that line may distract many people. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it is something to be aware of.
• There are some beats that are truly wonderful. For example, I love when you realise that immortality is out of reach, and the ensuing fall.

Short and bittersweet. At first, I thought this was just a Twine style "here's my poem now press a button to see the next line" kind of game. But then I hit the line about all my jumping being for nothing, and it all came together for me. And that jump for immortality/ensuing fall coupled with a cut to black really made an impact.

I agree with your thoughts on death and the afterlife, but even if I didn't I still think it would be besides the point to bring it up. You wanted to make a game about your personal feelings on death, and I think you succeeded. Good job, really resonated with me.

small, short but you will never forget it!
I like it!
Good job

Hey, I don't have much feedback as such, but for what it's worth, I can say that I really enjoyed your game

[Luciano]

Hey men! here a review about your game

Really interesting, love this kind of short games. A little depressing, though.

[AD1337]

Luciano: Thanks for the link! If on one hand I can read Spanish, on the other I am usually unable to read reviews or watch playthroughs of my games - I get very uncomfortable. That one seems short enough, I'll try.

Johnny Darko: It is very depressing. The game has been haunting me. I remember an Extra Credits episode that mentioned a guy who couldn't sleep because of the silly game he made. I thought it was bullshit, but now I know how that's like. I might have to make another game just to counter these feelings. I need a response to Memento Mori or this sadness won't go away. But what if there is no response?

Well, Google Translator can help!!

Great work, and fantastic to see another fellow C2 dev on Tigsource! 

Are you thinking about developing this game further?  I guess this is more of a story/creative outlet than a full game?

It is a full game and finished. It's just a very short one, I don't want to waste people's time.

I can read Spanish.

Maybe u can use a poem instead of plain text.
