Evaluation
Don't Forget is a free-to-play singleplayer story game that released on June 4, 2024. The game is described as a self-contained narrative experience: players explore three distinct areas linked to the protagonist's past, recover memories, and piece together the story. There is no mention of DLC, expansions, seasons, or future content of any kind. The developer has made no post-launch communications — no patch notes, announcements, or development updates — which is consistent with a finished, complete product that shipped as a standalone experience. With no post-launch content cycle, no unreleased DLC, and a narrative structure that has a clear beginning and end, the game launched as a complete package.

Your head feels light and you wake up in a vaguely familiar place
You wake up in a vaguely familiar place with only a journal at your side. You don’t know how you got here but maybe retracing your steps will help? Your journal is an anchor in guiding you through several spaces filled with fragments of your past.Recover your memories
In order to understand what is happening to you and why, you need to explore three areas linked to your past and fill your journal with recovered memories by playing brain games.You feel like you lost a part of yourself
Battle the effects of your illness and beware of its implications. As your journey continues, your perception of reality gets increasingly distorted. Dementia is not something you can control and this will be reflected the longer you linger in both the narrative and gameplay.Meet the team
This game was made by a team of 6 students for the final group projects course in the bachelor Digital Arts and Entertainment at Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen in Belgium, during the course of 11 weeks.
