About This Demo

Spaceman Memories is a solo developed heartfelt tribute to the classic JRPGs that shaped a generation, set in a low-poly fictional Japan slowly being overtaken by strange spirits and ancient folklore.

You play as Ichiro-94, an astronaut whose capsule mysteriously crash-lands back home after a long space mission. With fragments of his memory missing, Ichiro sets out on a quiet journey to rediscover his past, encountering mysterious Yokai, forgotten places, and a world caught somewhere between the future and ancient myth.

Explore a nostalgic world where pixel art characters live inside a handcrafted low-poly 3D world. Solve puzzles, uncover hidden memories, and fight supernatural enemies in classic turn-based battles.

Spaceman Memories is a story about rediscovery, nostalgia, and the strange beauty of forgotten things.
