Begin Archiving：The Final Twelve Acts
📜 About
A life is fading away.
Play as a newly appointed archivist of the Underworld. Recover disappearing memories before they are lost forever, collect scattered keywords, and complete the final archive of a mysterious soul.
As each monitor slowly fades to black, the story of an extraordinary life gradually unfolds.
Time is limited, and not every memory can be saved.
⏳ How to Play
- Memories are fading, and you cannot save them all.
- Choose which memories are worth preserving before they disappear.
- Click a memory fragment, read its story, and collect the highlighted keywords.
- Some important keywords may be missed. If your archive cannot be completed, try again and choose different memories.
- Use your collected keywords to complete the final archive.
- Every choice decides which parts of a life will remain.

The artstyle is so dope! What a cool, creative idea. Really loved it! Great work to all of you!
Be sure to check my game out! Would love to hear from ya
The art is so cool. The concept of the memories and archiving them before the fade away (count down) is really interesting! Getting the controls can be a little difficult, and im not quite for sure how to open up the archive after getting words, which ends up making my words fade before i can even archive. Understandable in a 3 day game jam. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for appreciating our art! Due to time constraints, there are indeed several areas where the instructions are insufficient and need polishing. The game is designed so that you can selectively catch fragments from 12 fading memory scenes. Once there are no more memories left to catch, it automatically moves on to a quiz. However, the keywords needed to answer correctly may not have been successfully obtained, so you might need to retry the game. I'll also organize this information into the "How to Play" section. Thank you so much for your feedback and for playing!
