A 60-minute free trial video is available on BeXide's official YouTube channel, including a version with breaks every 15 minutes.","whyItMatters":"By making real-world focus time the key to unlocking narrative, 'Memory of Memorie' blurs the line between productivity app and adventure game, offering a novel incentive for players to complete desk work.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBeXide\u0026#39;s \u0026#39;Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story\u0026#39; is a \u0026#39;work adventure\u0026#39; designed to accompany any desk work-studying, working, or creating-by placing the player in a room with Memorie, an apprentice magician who studies magic alongside them.
