A one-card memory keeper.

That awkward first kiss. Satisfaction from a job well done. An old friend’s last smile. You can sew a patch from any kind of memory. Keep them close. Cherish them often.

Think back on your beloved memories, friend. Craft and sew their patches onto your memory keeper, and carry them with you wherever you go.

This one player, one-card memory keeper was designed for Long Tail Games' Tiny Library Mosaic game jam with the MOSAIC Strict design philosophy in mind. It is Modular, Optional, Short, Attested, Independent, and Coreless. Check out the links for more information.

Thank you for hosting the game jam!

This is a fantastic concept! I really like it. It would work well for journaling.

I do have a small critique the prompts feel too specific. Broader categories might really help... such as "a small object" or "a face", as there are many memories they can connect to. 

As a crafter too, this would be an amazing game to play with thread. I just need to learn to embroider patches. 

Such a neat game. Thank you!

Thank you! I never thought it could be used for journaling, so that is really neat! And you’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it 🥰

I appreciate your thoughts on the prompts. It was tricky to think of them broadly, but perhaps they still need to be broader still. I do have a visual update coming soon, and I had already tweaked the wording of a few prompts for it, but that was done before your comment here, so unfortunately new prompts won’t make it in to that. However, I will keep your feedback in mind for if I do update the prompts later on!

Oh, embroidered patches would be so nice to see for this, and really make it live up to its namesake! 🤩
