BeXide released the work adventure game 'Memory of Memorie: A Chill Story' on July 23, 2026, for Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game is a story-linked work adventure where players do desk work alongside Memorie, an apprentice witch from another world. It features a Pomodoro Technique-compatible focus timer and a calendar function to track concentration. The story unlocks gradually based on accumulated focus time, revealing conversations with Memorie, events in the village, and a hidden secret. The game includes original Celtic music and ambient sounds. The Nintendo Switch 2 version supports high-quality graphics and mouse operation with Joy-Con 2. A limited-time 10% discount sale runs until August 5. A collaboration with the work game 'Chill with You: Lo-Fi Story' adds an arranged Celtic version of the song 'ChilDream' as work BGM. A collaboration bundle and an original soundtrack with 11 tracks are also available on Steam.
The game is set in Elmana Village, a peaceful place near the imperial capital that is protected by the sacred tree Kōdenju, though "black shadows" are gradually creeping into the world. Memorie uses magic that connects people from afar to find the player, and the story questions whether this meeting is coincidence or fate.
BeXide, the developer, was established in 1999 and is known for the PlayStation series "Doko Demo Issho" featuring the character Toro. The company develops games across console, smartphone, and indie platforms.
Supported languages include Japanese, English, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Korean. The game is categorized as an "Otherworldly Work Adventure" or "Work-with-Me ADV" genre.
As the story progresses, Memorie's room changes little by little, reflecting the player's accumulated focus time. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pass is available for 300 yen (270 yen during the sale).
The original soundtrack, sold separately on Steam for 980 yen, contains 11 tracks totaling about 50 minutes of Celtic music composed specifically for the game. The collaboration track "ChilDream" is not included in the soundtrack.
