Every memory has an owner, and selling it erases it from that person permanently. Customers arrive to offload memories they can no longer bear or to buy ones they need to live.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe player appraises memories using a magnifying glass and scale, deciding what to accept and who to sell to. Surface value can mislead: bright memories may hide sadness, and closer inspection can reveal different truths, though it also wears down the seller\u0026#39;s patience and some memories deteriorate with handling.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo markets exist. Bright Exchange offers stable, trusted transactions with lower profits, while Shadow Ledger is a black market where wealthy buyers pay high prices for others\u0026#39; pain, at the risk of investigation and dangerous customers. The game includes 25 endings, with only one leading to the full truth of the incident. Release date is undecided, and Japanese display is not currently supported.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Grumblepot Games announced Halsey Row, a sim where you run a shop buying and selling memories.
