Description:
Souvenir is a first-person video game about growing up and leaving home. The disorientation of becoming an adult is reflected in the surreal M.C. Escher-inspired world with multiple gravities. As the player delves into the fragmented world of her childhood memories, she chooses certain "souvenirs" to take with her to adulthood, to form the narrative of her coming of age.

Opinion:
Buggy, unfinished, and hard to control the jumping/flying mechanic but still powerful. Worth checking out if you are a fan of Yang's unique storytelling.
