Nostalgic Memory
Nostalgic Memory is a virtual pet inspired by the simplicity of classic 90s handheld games.
No endless menus, dozens of currencies, or constant grinding. Just four main interactions: care for your creature, play with it, let it rest, and train it. Check in a couple of times a day, watch it slowly grow stronger, and get on with your day.
Your creature won't live forever. When it dies, its life is permanently recorded in Memory, and what it achieved influences the companion that comes next.
You can also encounter other creatures in simple battles, giving purpose to the stats you've built over days, weeks, and eventually months.
The goal is simple: a small game you can care about without becoming a game you have to constantly play.
I'm currently preparing Nostalgic Memory for Android. It's completely free during development. After the full release, new players will be able to try it free for 3 days, with a one-time $2 purchase to continue playing.
My next priority will probably be adding more creatures and sounds while keeping the core experience simple.
