a twist of fate, stars that were never meant to cross.
the gnawing ache of loss, and the cruel stab of hope.
alien ink etched into his skin, telling stories unrecognisable.
fate has taken, fate has also given. 
a trade of lives, a second chance.


the man you love was ripped from your arms, gone too soon, but the world has a funny way of giving second chances. 
memento mori, memento amore.

a short visual novel dealing with love, loss, second chances, and the mystery of the universe.


MEMENTO MORI was made over a few days for Velox Fabula 2 and, as such has limited scope.

the game has around 2k~ words, and takes around 20 minutes to complete.

you have such a way with building an entire life and world around a small conversational context without really getting the reader lost and I think that's awesome, felt that when i read burning red and same thing here. this was a really nice read <3
