A surreal nightmare by green phosphor and text graphics. But the outdated hardware isn't the only thing that's decaying: devoid of any memories, all you know is a toxin is destroying your body little by little - and it's only one of the things out to kill you. Get ready to die like it's 1981.

About


A surreal nightmare where resisting death is as tempting as it is useless, brought to life by the 256 text characters available on the first PCs.
What can you do when you wake up in a strange place with your memories wiped out and your hours numbered?
And when you realize this place is a lethal environment, with an impossible geometry created by the processing power of a first-generation PC, which gets even weirder when the floppy drives begin to fail?
What about those people that seem amused by the fact you're dying by the minute?
And what's with that creature with a taste for human flesh?
Does any of this make any sense? Does that even matter when your time is running out?
Authentic phosphor green gets mixed with not-quite-authentic blood red for results never dreamed of by the monitors of 1981;
Several ways to make your life even shorter if you're not careful, including electrocution, beheading, getting crushed between walls or eaten by a shark or a gruesome smiling monster;

Joguei Out of Memories por cerca de 30 minutos e me surpreendi. Encontrei uma forma bem criativa de 'escape game'. E da mesma forma, pessoalmente achei bem desafiador. Certamente voltarei a jogar em sessões para ver até onde consigo chegar. Um jogo bem interessante e divertido também. Recomendo!
Cool game with great art style and atmosphere. Not an easy one though, and some parts can be unfair or annoying, especially since you're constantly on a time limit. You have to be patient and be ready to replay some levels and optimize your run in order to save more time for the later ones. Despite some frustrations, I had fun in the end and I'd surely recommend it. (I just wish I'll be alive to see a day when developers would stop putting sliding puzzles in their games. I already hate them with all my heart in normal circumstances, doing them on a time limit was literally hell for me lol)
Out of Memories is a decent game wouldn't say i did not enjoy it but it felt repetitive at times where i kept dying. Nevertheless, 7/10
A nice game in a genre sometimes called glitchcore or "cursed OS", Out Of Memory is a stylish 2D dexterity-based game which was made for a game jam, but it has a nice professional quality and a good amount of content that should occupy about 5 to 10 hours. The ASCII presentation is very well done and gives it a very strong atmosphere. The story is okay, without infantilism or grammar mistakes, but is neither very original nor unforgettable. Although they do something interesting narrative-wise with the remaining time at the end. Be warned though, the main quality of this game is difficulty, and it will requires a lot of tenacity to complete it. It's not extremely difficult or unfinisheable because I finished it and I would say that the difficulty and progression are well managed. But it requires a lot of restarting the same level and trying to optimize your path. There are a couple minor annoyances, most notably some repeating text panels at the start of the action sequences that you have to click through every time you restart, but nothing show-stopping. I checked the game lineup of the developer and he offers some very original games and the quality is constantly getting better, so I'll be keeping an eye on him.

For the older crowd who played Atari Adventure during their childhood, this game will feel very familiar. The concept is brilliant, creating all the visuals as if they were based on MS-DOS was a great idea. If you enjoy nostalgia, you'll have a good time with this one. It's one of those simple little games that I believe deserves more attention. I definitely recommend it.
