2064: Read Only Memories
2015
2064: Read Only Memories is a retrofuturistic take on the point-and-click adventure genre that features a rich mature narrative and unique gameplay challenges hidden within the beautiful interactive pixel scenes. The deeper you delve into the life of your missing friend, the further you get entangled into this tale about the dark side of technology. In this game Humans, Robots (known as ROMS) and Hybrids (Humans with cybernetic enhancements/genesplicing) live together in Neo-San Francisco in the year 2064 AD. The narrative follows the growing tension between humans, Hybrids who are “pushing the boundaries of what it means to be human” and ROM robots who exist only as personal assistants.
