Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER is a beautiful homage to anime-inspired classic Japanese adventure games such as Famicom Detective Club, Snatcher, and Policenauts.

To showcase the artwork in NEURODIVER, "Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER Visual Works" dives into concepts, designs, key art, animation frames, and much more from the game. Compiled by MidBoss' creative director and lead artist, John "JJSignal" James, this collection is a must-have for fans curious about peeking behind the scenes at the visuals that would eventually paint the the pixelated world of Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER!

[h2]Original Game Sountrack[/h2]

Dive into the bright, glossy and rich tones of Neo-San Francisco with 22 original tracks composed by Ken "coda" Snyder.

Let the silicon streets of the city come to life in your ears as each song sets the hearts of classic Yamaha FM chips on FIRE!

It's a PSY-FI HI-FI SOUND SENSATION!!

Long live the power of FM synthesis!

[h2]Instruction Manual[/h2]

Step back into the golden era of gaming when every game came with a manual!

This Digital Game Manual doesn't just show you how to play the game, but provides beautiful and detailed info about the world of Neo-San Francisco in 2070. Learn about the mysterious MINERVA, meet ES88 and her friends and colleagues, and reunite with old friends like Turing.

Extras include concept art and animation frames - all for FREE!

[h2]Complete Edition Bundle[/h2]

The complete collection - game, artbook, soundtrack, manual - will be available as a Complete Your Collection Bundle on Steam.

That's right, you saw it here first (maybe)! Join ES88 as she hunts down the elusive psychic entity, Golden Butterfly, on May 16th! We've had many release windows in the past, all of which we'll admit were pretty ambitious, but this is it! We can't miss it! It's set in stone! That stone is really, really difficult to chip in another date! We've tried!

Now hold your horses. Before you close this email, we have to inform you that the Good News Train doesn't stop there. On top of the game's digital release announcement, you'll also be able to pre-order both the Standard and Collector's Editions in physical form RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. But wait, there’s more! Our good friends at Serenity Forge are also announcing Neurodiver tees featuring Rebecca Ryan’s stunning artwork you see above, AND a gorgeous reprint of 2064: Read Only Memories. Phew!


The Standard Edition will include a full manual and soundtrack download code, while the Collector's Edition will include a full color art book, holographic stickers, an acrylic charm of ES88, and your very own Neurodiver to take care of and love (in plush form only).

We'd like to thank you for all of your patience with us over the years with this project, and we're thrilled to finally reach the end of our long journey of building this world for you to experience.
