Living in an isolated cabin with a peculiar stranger and a strong-willed yet curiously intelligent dog, Artemis attempts to go about her workday as normal. Upon arriving home, she is greeted by a bizarre trail of blood that seems to travel endlessly deeper into dark scavenger-infested woods.

Volatile Memory is a story that will be made into a much larger game in the future (not using RPG Maker). Volatile Memory: Blood Trail is just a glimpse into the characters’ average day.


NOTE: Playing with a high brightness level is recommended. Some of the graphics are very dark and can’t be seen well with low brightness.

Where do I even start.... The art for this was so professionally done, I seriously would have never guessed it was your first time making a game??! I don't know how you were able to get it so good so easily... The colors were really gorgeous and elevated the scenario times a million, they felt so eerie with the music. The sprites for the characters being so shapely helped with the eerieness too, a sense of distance was always between everyone. The way that you write dialogue is also really amazing, the timing of some of them genuinely made me laugh or made me A Wee bit afraid. I love how you convey everyone's personality/apperances in it, such as Artemis' exhasperation with Reid and his clinginess, or her mentioning Hermes in a kind way... Her attitude towards the machines was fun for any True Volatile Memory LOREHEADS. The atmosphere was so perfect for the characters and really settled you into the world with ease, especially the little flavor text around small items and the out-of-the-way interactions. I won't spoil, but the ending wrapped around to the start so amazingly and genuinely shocked me a bit. The contrast between Reid's personality/text and his actions were horribly eerie, Laelaps not liking him on top of it all... Scary.. Please Make More Games Or I Will Riot, First Name Vague Last Name Galaxy
