“Know by Heart…” is a sentimental adventure game developed by Ice-Pick Lodge, available on Windows. The game revolves around Misha, the protagonist, who is stuck in a monotonous, dead-end job in a post-Soviet provincial town. The game takes the players on a nostalgic journey down memory lanes, where they will rediscover old memories, common ground, and rekindle their friendship with childhood friends.
The game offers ~5 hours of gameplay with a non-linear plot and several endings. The game mechanics represent Misha's thoughts and memories. The atmospheric mini-games and piano soundtrack, composed in modern neoclassical style, create an illusion of briefly returning to one's childhood and inevitably growing up, the feeling of time slipping through our fingers. However, this joyous reunion is soon ruined by something beyond their control, threatening their memories of the past and the very bonds between them.
“Know by Heart…” is an emotional journey that weaves together the plot, music, intuitive gameplay, and atmospheric mini-games to create a unique game that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
