ABSTRACT
Remembrance is an experimental puzzle platformer game we developed to explore new ways to make the character's inner world (e.g., memories, emotions, and imagination) playable. In this game, we used the landscape as a metaphor of the player character's inner world and gave the player the ability to transform the landscape through a core mechanic we call terraforming.
