A Dark Fantasy Tale of Plague, Power, and Survival
Edge of Memories takes players to Avaris, a land ravaged by the Corrosion, a mysterious plague that turns people and wildlife into horrifying abominations. Players step into the role of Eline, a Soul Whisperer with the power to heal the tormented. Alongside her two companions, she must unravel the secrets of the Corrosion, master Berserk abilities, and fight to protect those who still have hope.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, Edge of Memories presents a vibrant yet haunting world, blending dark fantasy elements with stunning French animation-inspired visuals. The story explores themes of exodus, disease, and the struggle for survival in a world on the brink.
