BeXide announced Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story, a story-based adventure game that combines elements of productivity with a relaxing gaming experience. Quoted from Gematsu, The game is scheduled for release in summer 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
The game focuses on Memorie, an apprentice witch from another world who accompanies the player while studying, working or carrying out creative activities. The main concept is quite unique as the story progresses not only through regular exploration, but also through the player's focus time using the Pomodoro system.
Focus-Based Game Concept
Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story uses a focus timer system based on the Pomodoro technique. Players go through focus sessions of a certain duration, and then the progress unlocks a new part of the story. This approach makes productive activities like studying, writing, drawing, or working feel like part of the gameplay.
As the player sits down and begins to focus, Memorie also learns magic in her room. The relationship between the player and this character is built slowly through light conversation, story progression, and small changes in Memorie's world. The game doesn't encourage the player to keep actively pressing buttons, but gives space for the player to actually carry out activities in the real world.
Stories of Memorie and Elmana Village
The setting of the game is Elmana Village, a village located not far from the Imperial Capital. The village is protected by the Lightroot Tree, a sacred tree that maintains the peace of the region. However, the story does not go completely without conflict as there is a dark presence that slowly begins to approach the world of Memorie.
Memorie finds the player through a spell that connects hearts from a distance. This encounter forms the basis of the relationship between the player and Memorie. As focus time accumulates, the player will unlock new chapters, learn about the changes in the village, and understand the secrets kept by Memorie.
Rooms that Change with Progress
One of the main elements in Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story is the Memorie room change. As players complete more focus sessions, the room will evolve. Details such as favorite cups, magic light, and the atmosphere of the study room will change as the story progresses.
The game also includes a calendar to record the player's focus history. These features make the game feel close to a productivity app, but still packaged as a relaxing adventure game. Soft Celtic music and ambient sounds are also part of the atmosphere designed to support focus.
