SWR JST DX Selective Memory Erase Effect
An atmospheric platformer where players fight weird monsters that keep on claiming that they’re part of an operating system.
Have you ever noticed the similarities between old platformers and dreams? Locations are flowing, consequences are twisted, and discoveries don’t always follow everyday logic.
With 9 worlds to conquer and over 40 levels to discover, SWR JST DX: Selective Memory Erase Effect is inspired by classic console titles, books and movies too numerous to mention, delivered in authentic 256*256 resolution in 256 colors and designed for practice-to-improve style of playing. Other features include: a unique plush model / pixelart integration, great level variety and joypad and keyboard support.
Note: this game does not support saving, but there are unlimited continues which only reset ingame points. Please test whether the game runs on your computer by downloading the free tech demo archive first. It can be downloaded here.

(My playtime is misleading, I was playing without Steam for much of the game)
Man this game really hit the spot! Between its cool art style and excellent level variety, I was always excited to see what would happen next with a lot of "wow, that was awesome" moments. The controls were a little unusual to me, and some levels would seem really tough at first, but then I'd figure something out to make the level more manageable which feels really satisfying. This is a hidden gem of a game for sure.

Super bizarre arcade platformer, extremely unique and memorable. Easily a favourite in the genre.
