“Man Without organs” is a 2D detective adventure game. The player assumes control of “Man Without organs”, whose body is hollow inside, on his journey through a ruined Hong Kong. Interacting with deceased souls and items in the ruin, Man Without organs retrieves and restores pre-apocalyptic memories of the city, eventually getting to the bottom of why the city has been destroyed. Rather than having a grand narrative, the memories of ruin are formed by individual citizens. It provides the player a ground to revisit the fallen of the city in different views and angles when playing the game. By taking in memories, Man Without organs comforts the deceased in the ruin and relieves the place from remembrances while marching into a new era. Solving Riddles Embedded In the Story Deceased souls wander in the ruin where remnants scatter. Man Without organs allows different characters to interact with the remnants by integrating itself with their souls. Only when the characters match the items belonging to them will the memories be available for viewing. By viewing the memories, leads which help put stories back together will be revealed, thus helping the player to access the main story arc. Viewing Memories In the game, the player can view the memories collected, with the abilities to fast-forward, rewind, pause and continue viewing. Every single detail in the memories could be the key to solving riddles. Time Travelling The story of “Man Without organs” begins in a ruined city. However, almost every single scene has multiple points in the past back to which the player can travel. Through the memories belonging to the deceased souls and various items, the player can journey through different periods before the city has fallen and learn of what happened in the time. Becoming Part Of the Memories Man Without organs not only can restore the memories, but also become part of them by playing the roles of certain characters. If the characters possess memories of an item, Man Without organs will be able to dive into the memory.
