EMMA: Lost In Memories

Game Overview

The story follows a young girl named Emma who follows a mysterious, giant owl into a strange and unsettling world. As she navigates single-screen stages across various whimsical yet threatening environments, a unique rule governs every movement: platforms and walls start disappearing progressively the moment you touch them.

Emma runs automatically at a fixed pace once put into motion. Players must rely entirely on split-second timing, smart path planning, and careful execution of double-jumps, wall-slides, and climbs to reach the exit before running out of solid ground.
