MEMENTO MORI

Everyone will die. It's the only thing we can really be sure about. So why does it hurt? Why do we avoid thinking about it? Why do we push away that little prickling feeling in the back of our minds, whispering that sooner or later, we will die, and there is nothing we can do about it? And what would happen if we were forced to let that thought completely fill our heads? That's the question this game tries its best to explore: how different minds try to live with the knowledge of death. Some people ignore it. Some become depressed. Some feel relieved. Some become curious. Others become anxious. When will it happen? What will it feel like? Have I wasted my life? Is death really the end? Why would I care if it is? Through the hands of mysterious senders, a group of adolescents belonging to the same class will be forced to confront these questions. Or ignore them. Or come up with completely different questions. Or stop asking questions altogether and start acting on them. One thing is certain, however: There is no normal way to deal with death. Between passages from books, pyramids, caves, religious psychosis, and one poor, relatively normal protagonist desperately trying to survive until the last day of school, I'll try my best to tell a peculiar story about what happens when you are forced to remember the one thing you're never supposed to forget: You will die.
