DESCRIPTION
Searching for the truth can be a task we do in our lives time and time again. But if your entire life is based around this repeating scenario, can you come to terms with who you are, or will you be lost in your own thoughts forever? Memory lane is a game about an amnestic girl named Ji Ling who seemingly can only interpret her thoughts through puzzle-solving and exploration. She goes through a variety of emotions while seeking her past alongside her family and her fluffy companion, Diushi. Through her trying times, remember to help Ji Ling on her road to recovery and take a trip with her down Memory Lane.

MEMORY LANE ITCH.IO
Memory Lane was created during my third game jam in 2021, under the supervision of Professor Fanfarelli at Marist College.
After experiencing a game jam with a team of 4 and a team of 6 developers, I wanted to test and evaluate where I stood as a game designer. Entering my third global game jam during my 4-year curriculum, I decided to create a game solo in 72 hours. During the pandemic, the university had students participate online rather than in class.
For the whole duration of the event, I had conceptualized, created, and implemented my own interpretation of this year's theme "Lost and Found".
Memory Lane will not be updated, as it was a game jam portfolio piece. It is available to be played over on itch.io. The gameplay comprises several cutscenes to propel the storyline forward, an overworld to explore, as well as 2 zen puzzle levels.
