This game was inspiring to read. It really creates a sense of physicality to the game space and manages to tell a compelling story without tradition game mechanics. I hope that one day I will be able to find a forest and some friends to play it with.
I noticed that the Entropy and Overgrowth lists are the same on my PDF copy - is that intended? I was expecting different prompts since the rest are all different.
I ordered a physical zine in April, any word on that shipment? (Sorry, I'm not super familiar with itchio, I would've private messaged you if I could find the option to do so...)
Hi, if you haven't already done so please email me Taylor@RiverhouseGames.com with your order info and address. I've been doing monthly USPS runs during COVID so some orders have been delayed but if you ordered in April your zine should have gone out.
Full Of Memory is a storytelling game where you play as a vengeful forest.
That's it. That's the premise. And it's a strong one.
Full is diceless, and it feels like almost more of a game to read than a game to play, but it *is* definitely playable. Full's writing is also really strong, and it does a lot of mechanical and narrative tricks to specifically ground you, make you feel present, and to connect you with your forest.
If you like intense experiences, this is definitely a game for you. And if you like collaborative storytelling without having to worry about random results, this is really definitely a game for you.
I think I would recommend this to anyone who likes narrative games. Every part of it is super polished and well-executed, and it would be an extremely solid addition to your library.

I noticed the same thing! I thought it was interesting as well.
When I was reading the description, it made me think of Skeletons, I wasn't surprised at all to see it as an inspiration.
I like the concept of this a lot.
A wonderful game.

Thank you again for the kind words! FoMaA has a special place in my heart and I’m glad it had an effect on you as well.
