the reset - demo

Author Comments

This is the demo for the game "the reset", in which you get to browse through your brain just after your brain was wiped clean of all memories. You have to piece together what happened and why you find yourself in this situation.


#### CONTROLS ####


The left mouse button is used to pan the memory.


The mouse wheel/pinching is used to zoom in on the memory.


The right mouse button is used to move the memory.


#### STORY ####
The game follows the memories of Tom, a man who is having a very bad day at the end of a very bad life. The only thing that you know, at the start of the game, is that he has had his memories stolen 40 years before his time, which has corrupted the brain scan. It is up to you to put the brain scan back together and figure out what has happened.


#### DEVELOPMENT ####
The game is still very much in development, so we would love to get some feedback on the game. please leave a comment about anything you feel could be improved or is important to be noted.


It is important for us to provide the best experience possible.


#### THE TEAM ####
The reset was developed by a two man team, Sylvester how is in charge of programming and art and Søren who is in charge of the music. The game took about 3 months to make and was a labor of love.

The zooming in without a mouae wheel is really difficult, i couldn't get out of my zoomed in state once i did it. Otherwise, i really like this game :)

I really enjoy this game. The mechanics/paths idea its great. Astethics are awsome.
The storyline gets you hooked.
Some changes I think you sould try:
-Music on/off button or at least volume managment. The music It's good but it gets repetitive over time.
-More contrast between the seen and unseen pieces of information. Maybe even some
kaind of checklist so the player knows if they should keep searching arround the memory.
-The proportion of the game space, maybe it's just me but it's too long (it was made for phones?) Because of the pan aspect of the game the pointer sometimes goes off the game space an it's annoying.

Otherwise it was a great experience and I'm looking foward to play the next chapter. Keep working on this!

Great idea and I really like the story, but technically it probably could use a little polishing. It's difficult to tell the difference between the directions and the story at first. The controls are also a little hard to figure out, and I actually got stuck on the "map overview" screen and couldn't get back.

Still really great original idea, hope to see a full version soon!

I have played this game but it was YEARS ago. If you didn't re-upload it from somewhere and it is first look of it it must've been precognition, since I remember it TWICE from now and from than...

Everything works as planned - one have literally and entirely different look at so called life with this knowledge.

Take care man (also, had few bugs with not changing faces of restored memories - now THAT is quite ironic isn't it, my memories were restored and flushed my brain too, not the first time and won't be last).

Edit: But that was my point, I can remember playing it and these were two possibilities. Since you claimed that you didn't re-uploaded it, than the other is true.

arty-farty responds:

This is a completely new game, that I have not re-uploaded. I just wanted to make that clear, since I worked really hard on this and that kind of accusation hurts.

A very interesting concept. I will be interested to see it after further development.
