Submerge yourself in the memories of Miriam as she connects with her inner child and reflects on her strained relationship with her determined mother, who pushed her towards success as a champion swimmer. A Memoir Blue’s emotional tale is brought to life with a combination of hand-drawn animations to show the past and 3D art to signify Miriam’s contemplative and conflicting feelings about her rise to superstardom.

What we love: Seemingly mundane activities become surreal, artistic and satisfying to experience as you journey through Miriam’s story. There’s no dialogue or text to read, but you’ll feel her emotions of victory and sacrifice through each careful interaction.

Quick tip: A little patience and playful exploration will uncover hidden moments throughout the game. In the opening scene, try turning the dial and pressing buttons on the radio to discover hidden vignettes that set the tone for the story ahead.

Meet the creator: A Memoir Blue is the debut game by Cloisters Interactive, a multinational games studio that originated in New York City. The game is led, written and 3D-sculpted by a team of women, including creative director Shelley Chen, who draws from her own childhood experiences to shape the narrative of this atmospheric adventure.
