01 / The story

Every night, the city misplaces one memory. You are the courier tasked with delivering it to the person who would rather forget.

The city is a machine for remembering. Its stairways double back, its offices never close, and every delivery changes the route home. Exploration, environmental puzzles and difficult conversations carry the player through a single impossible working week.

The building should feel like it is listening.

A fictional production concept. Artwork and studies illustrate the proposed world; release years are part of the demo.

02 / The visual notebook

Inside the world.

03 / Production notes

An intention in
every department.

Design & performance

A world with its own rules.

The building should feel like it is listening. Character silhouette, spatial rhythm and color are explored together in the visual notebook, before a sequence moves into an animatic or playable test.

Technical development

Built around the image.

Our prototype investigates architectural navigation, authored lighting and a memory system that changes dialogue and environmental clues together.

Music & sound

More than what we see.

An adaptive score moves between felt-piano fragments and distant electrical hum. Footsteps are part of the navigation language.

04 / Moving studies

From stillness
to a sequence.

Explore the studio’s animated visual anthology: a short sequence of world, character and material studies.
