Imperishable Memories is a narrative-driven shoot-em-up game developed in Unity for PC, Mac, and Linux. It combines bullet-hell gameplay with flashy cutscenes and angsty pondering to tell a story about coming to terms with horrible mistakes and gaining the strength to move on, little by little.

An experimental, psychedelic, and oddly engrossing bullet hell

-- Part of my Itch.io Bundle Project - Attempting to play and rate every game in the 2020 Bundle for Racial Justice --

  • Rating: 6.5 / 10
  • Year played: 2020
  • Playtime: 15-30 mins
  • Completion level: Played some, didn't finish
  • Verdict: Recommended, I enjoyed it

This one fascinated me in a way that other bullet hells and shmups don't normally do. It has a narrative, one that is both bizarre and psychedelic, but also intensely personal in ways that made me feel uncomfortable and like I was encroaching on someone else's internal turmoil; it was like reading someone else's diary.

It's weirdly fascinating, and for those of you who are as unbelievably bad at bullet hell gameplay as I am, thankfully this has an infinite-respawn mode so you can get to the story bits without having to "get gud" first.
