In 2064, a struggling journalist is drawn into a search for the missing creator of Turing, a ROM who claims to be the first sapient machine. Their investigation leads through Neo-San Francisco and into a wider conspiracy.
Explore scenes, inspect people and objects, and question the city's residents in a point-and-click adventure built around dialogue. Light puzzles and multiple possible approaches to some problems accompany the investigation.
Your conversation choices affect how characters respond and can lead to different endings. The story explores artificial intelligence, genetic modification, identity, and what it means to be human.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its character-focused writing, the relationship between the journalist and Turing, and its detailed cyberpunk setting. Pixel art, music, and voice acting also recur as highlights. Some reviewers find the dialogue excessive or the gameplay too linear, and opinions on the characters and social commentary are divided.
2064: Read Only Memories is a cyberpunk point-and-click adventure set in the colorful future metropolis of Neo-San Francisco. Meet a huge cast of fascinating characters, solve a far-reaching mystery, and think carefully about your choices — you never know how they will affect this dynamic, branching narrative further down the line.
The world is changing.
Genetic alteration of humans is now commonplace, with many choosing to radically alter their bodies to express their individuality. Virtual intelligences called ROMs (Relationship and Organizational Managers), created as simple digital assistants, are exerting greater control over people's lives. Some are terrified by this rapid change, and they are willing to go to extreme lengths to prevent it.
A lost ROM named Turing breaks into the apartment of a struggling journalist to ask for help. They claim to be the first sapient machine — not a simulation of life but a genuinely self-aware artificial being — and the technical genius who created them has gone missing. Can you unravel the shocking conspiracy that threatens to rock an entire society? Or will the darkness that lies behind the bright neon lights of Neo-SF consume you?
Old-school, cutting-edge — Classic point-and-click adventuring inspired by the likes of Gabriel Knight and Snatcher is melded with modern branching storytelling that delves into identity, individuality, and what it means to be human.
People of the future - Get to know a diverse cross-section of Neo-SF's population, brought to life by some of the best voice talent working in games today, including Melissa Hutchison and Dave Fennoy (The Walking Dead), Erin Yvette (Oxenfree), Austin Creed (WWE's Xavier Woods), and SungWon Cho (ProZD).
High tech nostalgia — The city of Neo-San Francisco is rendered in beautiful pixel art, and your adventure is accompanied by a catchy lo-fi electronic synth soundtrack.
Solve the mystery — Over ten hours of adventure across exploration, dynamic branching conversations, multiple endings, and plenty of challenges to overcome.
The complete edition — Packed with years of improvements and additions including new characters and voice performers, additional facial animations, Japanese language support, and the "Endless Christmas" extended epilogue that lets you hang out with your favorite Neo-SF locals.
