Keeper of Memories

Keeper of Memories

"In a time where tales of a once green earth are forgotten. One man decided to preserve the knowledge of the past. Providing hope of achieving a better future..."

In this simple cozy game players place tiles on a pixel art grid, creating lush landscapes in a dystopian world where almost nobody remebers the past. Players take on the role of the Memory Keeper. A mysterious figure that is rebelling against an oppressive government wanting to silence any mention of the old world. Memory Keepers try to keep the memory of a healthy planet alive by preserving and creating art that can be used to remind people of better times.

As part of this game jam I only managed to create one level. However it could be expanded into multiple levels with different scenarios and memories players could create.
