Description

Look forward to the story of pain and recovery like you've never experienced before in this unique world of "The MISSING - J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories -".


Despite the horrifying death traps across the mysterious island, J.J. is able to revive from death endlessly. Many traps and gimmicks can be overcome only by bringing harm to your body, such as being struck by an iron ball, or by dismemberment. Be wary of your surroundings and look for ways, conventional and unconventional, to get through the island.

You may need to use your limbs as weight, or even break yourself in two to get through smaller spaces. Sometimes you can find tips by sacrificing your own body through dismemberment, being crushed, jumping into fires, and more. But don’t worry as you can revive yourself as many times as needed to find your way through the island.


J.J. scours Memoria Island to find her best friend, who has gone missing during a camping trip. However, this island was like a nightmare: no matter how many times she sustains fatal injury, she couldn’t die, and instead is able to revive herself back to normal. J.J. ventures into the depth of the island as she drags her decapitated body along, enduring the pain.

Her limbs may sever, her neck may break, she may go through severe burns, but... In order to save her best friend, she puts her own body and life on the line, reviving infinitely, as she presses forward. Why did she go missing? What is going on in this world? All of these mysteries shall be revealed when the game is cleared.

This was an absolutely beautiful game. It only took me about 5 hours to beat it and a futher 2-3 to get all the achievements (left the game open for a bit hence 10 hours), but I very much enjoyed my time with it.

This game is hard to digest and quite uncomfortable because of how raw it is, but above all it is honest, sincere, and full of empathy. "fix your hearts or die"

The puzzle mechanics of this game are good and engaging. The graphics are good. But the symbolism. Oh. My god. The symbolism. The symbolism is what made me stick around. Sometimes it feels like the only way forward is

I hope this game finds the people that need it. It's clunky and slow sometimes, but it's message makes it more than worth it if it's enough to save a life by finding it. It might hurt, but it's only temporary- you'll be

A horror/narrative platformer game that feels like a cross between Clock Tower and Prince of Persia. Super cool dismemberment mechanics and physics. Feels really good to play and collect donuts throughout the levels.

Mechanics are a lil rough on keyboard and mouse, so i recommend playing on controller. The story was really the best part of the game, one of my favorite ones in years, relatable and symbolic. 10 out of 10 swery
