Player vs Game World

You play as Mimi, a young woman in search of her childhood memories that she has mysteriously forgotten. Set in an idyllic watercolour French countryside you explore a world between childhood and adulthood, where her desires and regrets echo lost dreams and fears. In the present, you explore the rooms in your grandmother’s home. In the past, you helped a 10-year-old Mimi explore the Dordogne and complete quests that change the present and help you progress.

Along the way, you’ll collect photos, sounds, objects and words to create Mimi’s journal. It's a game about the importance of childhood and the power of memory. As you explore the watercolour world you'll take forest walks, climb, go kayaking and explore caves. Each of these moments creates a unique record in your journal. The result is a heartfelt story of childhood memories, love, and family, to a picturesque pastoral backdrop in southern France.
