"Note to Myself

"Note to Myself" is a highly narrative video experience inspired by the principles of the Walking Simulator.

You play the role of Paule, an elderly woman who is losing her memory, reliving the key memories of her life by interacting with the objects that characterized her. Some recall happy moments: her relationship with her husband, her parents, her job as a composer... Others awaken forgotten anxieties.

A strange silhouette seems to have left its mark on Paule's life. Who is she? What link does Paule have with this entity?

Throughout this adventure, you'll be carrying your Dictaphone. It will be your lifeline in the murky ocean of oblivion. Everything is fluid when the mind is lost, and you'll have to pick up the pieces of the past to better heal the wounds of the present.
