STORY:

Charlie, a freelance photographer on a road trip to visit her highschool ex-girlfriend, finds the grumpy runaway schoolgirl, 'Jane Doe', hitchhiking on the a dark road.

Charlie offers the girl a ride, but little does she know that picking up that particular stray cat signals the start of an adventure she's not ready for...

Down Memory Lane follows our two often-disagreeing leads across 4 chapters with alternating POVs, as they meet various kinds of people.  From a sweet elderly couple to a boy forgotten in a hotel, each meeting impacts them and changes their worldview and opinion of each other, little by little.


Meanwhile, however, Charlie cannot stop thinking about her ex-girlfriend, Lottie, and how wonderful their days together were... 

...Or were they, really?


A story about finding home in unexpected places, moving on from the past, surviving, and most of all - remembering who you are.

          

FEATURES:

  • Original artwork, including sprites, CGs, and item art
  • Choices that determine how the story will end - will Charlie and Jane's road trip have a good ending, or a bad one...?
  • In-engine animations: the characters run, jump, bounce, move, shake, fall, etc!
  • Cinematic camerawork!
  • 38k words of road trippin' goodness!
  • A scrappy camper van named Vonny, who is part of the family!
  • Angst. A whole lot of angst.
  • It accidentally turned into psychological horror halfway through.



YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS IF...

  • You enjoy stories with characters who are complete opposites, and how they maneuver their interactions and constant disagreements.
  • You like narratives that slowly build up tension, bitterness, and unresolved issues between its characters.
  • You've played Hydrangea, also written by me, and enjoyed its deep delving into psychological abuse, emotional manipulation, and the impacts of it.

Holy crap, thank you for drawing Jane!!! I’m sorry it took so long for me to respond, I was flooded with notifs from the road trip jam –

I love this so much!! Do you mind if I post it on Jane’s Toyhouse page with credit and a link to you? It’s okay if not, I’ll keep it saved in my heart as well ❤️

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game!

No worries at all! I'm really glad you loved the art. Please feel free to post it, and I'm truly honoured.
