Question 1

GENERAL | In what languages is the game available?

Accepted Answer

The game is available in English only.

Question 2

GENERAL | Will you translate this game to my language?

Accepted Answer

While we don't rule out translating MemoryCore, as of today we haven't planned localized versions of the game, especially considering the product complexity compared to traditional TTRPGs.

Question 3

GENERAL | Was AI used in MemoryCore?

Accepted Answer

No generative AI was used in MemoryCore. The game was made by highly talented human artists and creatives.

Question 4

OTHER | I have a question that isn’t answered here

Accepted Answer

Leave us a comment and we'll get back to you as soon as we can :)

Question 5

PLEDGE | Why isn’t there a digital-only (PDF-only) pledge for MemoryCore and the anthology games?

Accepted Answer

MemoryCore is carefully designed to minimize bookkeeping and deliver a true “power on and play” experience. Physical components such as rewritable Character Boards, Memory Cards, Exploration Map, Tokens, Markers, and the Game Disc are all integral to how the game is meant to be played in its intended play experience.

This is a deliberate product decision, made to support fast, ready-to-play sessions without setup friction. If all these components had to be printed and assembled by players for online play, the “press start and jump into the game” feeling would be significantly reduced.
For this reason, we chose not to offer a PDF-only version of MemoryCore as a core pledge option.

That said, we are players too, and we understand that many groups play exclusively online for logistical reasons. Therefore, each physical copy of any game in the anthology will include a QR code granting free access to all digital files (Game Rulebook, Game Disc, Exploration Map, Memory Cards, and Character Boards) for those who prefer to play online, and the same applies for the User Manual.

At the same time, we are exploring the possibility of bringing MemoryCore to a VTT platform that can properly support the system, while preserving the intended play experience.

Question 6

PLEDGE | Why can't I choose the two games included in the Base pledge?

Accepted Answer

The Base pledge is meant to be a curated entry point into MemoryCore, and we specifically selected SOLID STATE MACHINE + BLOODSONG because together they showcase a wide range of what the line can offer, while also representing experiences that are generally more approachable and proven enjoyable for TTRPG players (stealth and dungeon crawling).
Other genres in the anthology, such as PvP Fighting Games, Survival Horror, or Racing, can offer more niche or divisive experiences depending on the group.
Keeping the bundles fixed also helps us simplify logistics, reduce production complexity, and keep prices lower for all backers.
That said, every other game will still be available à la carte as an add-on, and the MemoryCore box across all reward tiers is already designed to contain the full anthology of all 6 games.

Question 7

PLEDGE | How does my previous € 2 reservation affect my order?

Accepted Answer

You’ll receive a free pin and the €2 will be added as credit in the Pledge Manager phase of the project.

Question 8

PLEDGE | Does the campaign include a retailer pledge?

Accepted Answer

We don’t have a retailer pledge, however you can fill out this survey to be contacted once the retail copies are available for preorder through us: https://forms.gle/USUFuuNb6bvoDGdV9

Question 9

GENERAL | When will I receive the game?

Accepted Answer

We expect to deliver the game in Q3 2027.

Question 10

PLEDGE | Can I purchase multiple pledges?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you'll be able to do so in the Pledge Manager phase.

Question 11

PLEDGE | Will I be able to add more items later in the pledge manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’ll be able to add more items à la carte in the Pledge Manager phase.

Question 12

GAME | Do I need the User Manual to play?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The User Manual, included in all pledges, contains the basic rules for test resolution and for the system in general.

Question 13

GAME | Will I be able to create my own game content?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Check out the PLAY. REMIX. CREATE. section of the campaign.

Question 14

GAME | I want to know more about the games!

Accepted Answer

We dedicated a separate update to each of the 6 games in the anthology. In the “Updates” tab on the game’s BackerKit page, you can browse through all of them to learn more about the characters and the unique mechanics of each individual game.

Question 15

GAME | Will there be more games / a second anthology?

Accepted Answer

We strongly hope so. Ultimately, it will depend on how the first anthology performs economically, which is why your support during this campaign means so much to us!

Question 16

GENERAL | Are the MemoryCore games licensed games based on existing IPs?

Accepted Answer

None of the games in the MemoryCore Anthology are officially licensed games based on existing IPs. They are homages to a variety of different games from the 32-bit era.

Question 17

GAME | Is there a community I can share my game content with?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Join the official MemoryCore Discord server here: https://discord.com/invite/Rw37ADQjMJ

Question 18

GENERAL | Will this game be available at retail?

Accepted Answer

It's always difficult to predict how a crowdfunding project will perform and whether it will reach the scale required for a retail release. If MemoryCore achieves satisfactory results, it may eventually become available through retail channels. However, the cost at retail would almost certainly be higher than what we're able to offer during the campaign, as direct-to-backer sales allow us to provide significantly better prices. Should the game reach retail, prices are likely to be closer to the crossed-out MSRP shown in the reward tiers—or potentially even higher, depending on market conditions and distribution costs.

Question 19

GAME | Will I be able to distribute my own game content?

Accepted Answer

We'd genuinely love for MemoryCore to become a playground for the community's creativity.
We want to see players hack it, remix it, build on top of it, and create things we could never have imagined ourself. We'd absolutely love to give creators the tools to design their own games, cartridges, settings, and experiences for MemoryCore.

The challenge is that third-party licensing is a fairly complex legal topic, and we haven't yet found a framework that makes us comfortable saying, "Yes, this is exactly how we're going to do it." We haven't worked on one on previous games, but we're trying to bridge that gap now.

So while we can't announce a licensing program today, please know that the desire is very much there. We're actively thinking about it, discussing it, and looking at ways to make MemoryCore as creator-friendly as possible.
