This project is a 3D visual novel-style game developed using Unreal Engine 5 during the Ludum Dare 57 Game Jam (72 hours). It incorporates several open-source and Epic-licensed assets. Full credits and license information are listed below.

This game tells the story of a poet who once served as a royal minister. After a dynastic change, he lost his power and became an ordinary citizen. As a new era dawned—one marked by strict control over speech—the poet chose to abandon his memories of former glory and status, attempting to forget the pain and responsibility of the past.

Through five ancient stone tablets scattered across the game world, the narrative gradually reveals the poet’s internal struggle as he begins to recall his former identity. Each memory unearthed becomes a heavy burden, forcing him to confront the conflict between who he was and who he has become.

In the end, the poet chooses to forget once more—to turn away from his past and bury that chapter of history forever.

This is a story of loss, escape, and inner turmoil. It explores the delicate relationship between identity, memory, and the choices we make to protect ourselves from truth.
