Momento News

[p]Hello all! It’s an exciting time for us because Steam Next Fest is starting RIGHT NOW![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It means that we’ve got a lovely updated and polished Momento demo for you, with a bunch of new features, including: [/p]

• [p]Localization into 10 languages ( English, Japanese, German, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, French and Korean)[/p]
• [p]A puzzle hint system juuuust in case you get stuck[/p]
• [p]Clearer UI to show what puzzles aren’t available due to the Momentos selected (sorry, Teddy—we’ll have to wait until the full game!)[/p]
• [p]Improved readability of items while you’re holding them. This way you can easily see what state the item is in before you’ve placed it![/p]
• [p]A zoom out button so you can view the entire room[/p]
• [p]Icon glyphs that match your controller (it’s the little things that matter)[/p]
• [p]A tutorial for Creative Mode so you can learn how to dive deep into it[/p]
• [p]Steam Deck optimization (still waiting on the official word from Valve!)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Because there are so many great games in Next Fest, games really need support from their communities to really get visible, so if you would like to help Momento, here’s a few concrete ways to do so: [/p]

• [p]Wishlist the game! This tells Steam the game is worth paying attention to, and then helps it get recommended to new people in places like the Discover Queue.[/p]
• [p]Play the demo! This may seem obvious, but amount of time played is tracked and is also super valuable to us. It lets us know how people are engaging with the game, if it tracks with our expectations, and Steam pays attention too. [/p]
• [p]If you can, stream the demo or make videos about it. We can only reach so many people, but streams and videos are a great way to get the word out there to audiences we haven't met yet! Don’t stream? Ask your favorite streamer to play Momento![/p]
• [p]Tell your friends! Word of mouth is just invaluable. This can mean telling folks in person or posting about the game on social media. Please tag us if you do, we love to see how you decorate your rooms and would love to share it.[/p]
• [p]Follow us on social media and repost our posts![/p]

[p]TikTok Bluesky Twitter Instagram Discord [/p][p][/p][p]Of course, if you have feedback or questions, please feel free to let us know in the comments here, in the Steam Forums, or in our Discord. We’ll be happy to answer or clarify any questions you may have. [/p][p]Here’s to a great week of playing the demo! [/p][p]Cheers,[/p][p]Jess and the Momento Team[/p]

[p]Hello all! Hope you all are having a wonderful start to the year. We've been heads down working on updating our demo, because...[/p][h2]Momento will be part of Steam Next Fest next week![/h2][p]The demo is playable right now (hooray!) and we're very excited to introduce even more people to the game. [/p][p][/p][p]If you want to help us spread the word, there are a few ways to do so: [/p]

• [p]Wishlist the game if you haven't already! This is the number one most important thing to help an upcoming game[/p]
• [p]Tell your friends! We can't all stream, so it's not a worry, but please let your friends know about Momento. Word of mouth is one the top ways people learn about games so we're always grateful.[/p]
• [p]Stream the demo or make videos about it. We can only reach so many people, but streams and videos are a great way to get the word out there to audiences we haven't met yet![/p]
• [p]Follow us on social media and repost our posts. [/p]
• [p]Play the demo! There are so many great games in Next Fest, and Steam will track which ones are played the most. Our demo is short and sweet (30 min - 1 hour—well, depending on how long you spend in creative mode!) but all plays will help boost us in Steam's eyes. [/p]

[p]Here are a few of the new features we've included (we'll do a full rundown next week!) and we've now localised the demo into 10 languages, so players all around the world can join in. [/p][p][/p][h3]Puzzle hint system 🧩[/h3][p]There are quite a few puzzles in each room—so don't get stuck on figuring out which ones are left to find! [/p][p][/p][h3]A new Creative Mode tutorial! 🖼️[/h3][p]There are so many options in Creative Mode that we wanted to make it clear and easy for you to dive in.[/p][p][/p][h3]Zoom out! 🔭[/h3][p]We've had lots of requests to be able to see the full room, so now you can![/p][p][/p][p]And of course, through all this, we've still been working on the full game itself! We've been working on building out all the rooms, figuring out puzzle logic, improving flow, building tools to make it all look good, and of course, squashing as many bugs as we possibly can. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The game (and Creative Mode) has a lot of windows—who doesn't love a window? And we've been making sure they look the best that can be, including adjusting how the light comes through the windows. This means there are all sorts of puzzles to solve, like how moving a window up shifts where the light hits on the floor, and how light lands on a piece of furniture, like a couch or a bed, instead. But we're very happy with how they're looking so far.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And of course, all the other little aspects that make it a pleasant game to look at: steam coming up from mugs, lava lamps that actually work, easter eggs, finalizing all the book covers (there are a lot of books!), adding glyphs for controller support, and quite a few things we can't talk about yet! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We really are nearing the finish line, and so excited that as a result.... [/p][p]More details to share when we can, but thank you all so much for joining us on this journey. We cannot wait for the full game to make its way into your hands! [/p][p][/p][p]Cheers,[/p][p][/p][p]Jess and the Momento Team[/p]
