The game is a story-linked work adventure where the player does desk work alongside Memorie, an apprentice witch from another world. As the player focuses on tasks using a Pomodoro-style timer, Memorie studies magic in a room with Celtic music, and the story of her world unlocks based on accumulated focus time. The demo includes all basic features, and save data transfers to the full release. The voice of Memorie is performed by Yoru Michiyuki, a voice actress, entertainer, and YouTuber. The full game is scheduled for a summer 2026 release on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at 1,200 yen. BeXide will also exhibit the game at the BitSummit PUNCH indie festival in Kyoto from May 22 to 24, where visitors showing a wishlist registration can receive an original postcard.","why_it_matters":"The demo's Pomodoro-based focus mechanic and story-unlock system position the game as a productivity tool disguised as a narrative experience, a niche that has seen growing interest in recent years.","published_at":"2026-05-21T05:30:50.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Denfaminicogamer","Game Spark"],"citations":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"Game 'Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story' Featuring Apprentice Witch Girl (CV: Yoru Michiyuki) Limited-Time Demo Now Available on Steam; Celtic Music in the Workroom Is Very Chill","url":"https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/260521q"},{"source":"Game Spark","title":"Work alongside an apprentice witch!
