We have a few bits of news to announce...
We're working with Fat Alien Cat and Nomo Studio on their cozy room decorator, Momento!
You can hear it in person at Gamescom 2024!
Momento is a cozy room decorator where you can decorate your room however you want but the objects you choose to keep influence the life you lead. With vibrant, whimsical settings; relaxing gameplay; and charming branching narratives, Momento will be a warm ode to the challenge of following your dreams down the winding road of life.
What you'll hear in the Gamescom build is a ton of satisfying object-handling sounds for the new Creative Mode. Items pop, clink, and snap as you grab them from your inventory and place them in your chosen room.
There are no bedtimes when you're decorating your room. Change the time of day and listen to the soundscape and music change with it.
"For those going to Gamescom this is where we will be: Hall 10.1 Booth A.080! We will be showcasing Creative Mode at this festival! We can’t wait to see the different rooms you’ll make~"
"We also have our audio team SubZero and our composer, Mikey O’Neil, doing a lot of cool stuff in the music and SFX department!"
No limitations on how you can decorate. Players can decorate their rooms however they want, there are no limitations or gameplay restrictions. The only limit is your imagination.
Highly replayable with multiple endings and a unique playthrough each time. Every player is given a different set of objects to decorate with, providing a unique experience for each player even when they experience the same endings.
A Mystery to Uncover with clues to discover with each new playthrough.
Creative Mode. As players discover the various endings they will unlock the items and rooms they have found in creative mode. Allowing players to create their own stories and express themselves. Using photo mode, players can share their creation with their online communities.
Momento's Vision
Momento is a cozy room decorator and choose-your-own adventure game with a mystery. How the player chooses to decorate their room dictates the story they follow. Based on the child-like wonder of ‘When I grow up I want to be…’, Momento will be a joyous exploration of all the magical potential of childhood, the choices we make and where they lead us in life. With vibrant, whimsical settings; relaxing gameplay; and charming branching narratives, Momento will be a warm ode to the challenge of following your dreams down the winding road of life. And just like dreams, not all is as it seems.
We want Momento to be a story of self-reflection where players can experience the simple pleasures of youth as well as the moments of hardship and heartbreak that we are unable to escape. A story that captures the sense of wonder, magic, and wild joy of childhood like a fairy tale in every single way.
About Fat Alien Cat & Nomo Studio
Fat Alien Cat & Nomo Studio is a collaboration between two small Australian studios consisting of three parents. Between the three of them they have over 15 years experience working in games, visual effects and animation. This diverse background has allowed the team to cover a wide range of skills from Jasmine's artistic talents, Jess’ narrative and technical art skills, and Julian’s design and technical abilities. As a team they wish to focus on creating small, heartwarming, and delightful games that give players the chance to reflect and relax from the stresses of life.
Momento began as a collaboration between Jasmine, Jess, and Julian during their residency at the Screen Queensland Games Residency Program in 2023. They teamed up due to the shared passion for cozy games and the shared experiences being new parents. Momento was born from this shared experience(with baby Isabelle literally being the same age as the project) as the team members watched their children grow and imagined the possibilities their lives hold. After several months of development the team soft revealed the game onto TikTok and found an overwhelmingly positive response to the idea. Momento has captured the attention of the Wholesome Game community with about +94,000 wishlists on Steam, +2 Million views on TikTok, and more than 3800 mailing list subscribers.
