Live the life of a person whose memories have faded. • Feel the game. Atmospheric music and haptic feedback will dive you into the breathtaking story. • Relax and play. No scores, no timers, no “game over”. AWARDS • Most Innovative Game, Casual Connect USA & Kyiv • Best Mobile Game, CEEGA Awards • Excellence in Game Design, DevGAMM • Best Mobile Game & Critics’ Choice, GTP Indie Cup INNOVATIVE PUZZLES THAT ARE THE STORY Each level sparks a little memory of the person’s life. It’s a two-part puzzle: a visual image of the memory and a telescopic text, that reveals itself with every step. You start with fragmented pieces of the picture and have to move them to restore the original image. In turn, telescopic text reacts to your every step – the closer you are to the solution, the more text unfolds. You are indeed remembering – adding details to the memory and forming a clear picture. A DEEP AND MYSTERIOUS STORY G30 is about memory and consciousness – and what they mean for a human being. There are people around who are losing their ability to remember – some kinds of mental diseases do that to a person. G30 shows how they see the world, how they feel about the past they can’t remember and the reality they can’t recognize.
