Someone’s head is killing me in Memoirium, a PSX-styled soulslike about battling through bizarre dreamscapes and decorating your bedroom
Memoirium is an upcoming PSX-styled soulslike action-RPG that blends challenging combat with surreal dreamscape exploration and bedroom decoration mechanics. The game’s demo is currently available on Steam ahead of its Thursday launch.
Set in a bizarre, dream-like realm filled with unsettling architecture and surreal geometry, Memoirium challenges players to navigate through hostile environments populated with chair-wielding thugs, horned monsters, and treacherous platforming sections. The game’s world features fantastical landscapes where mundane objects assume massive proportions—such as a giant sword serving as a precarious cliff edge—creating a disorienting and often deadly exploration experience.
Combining soulslike mechanics with an aesthetic reminiscent of PlayStation 1-era graphics, Memoirium offers challenging combat encounters and punishing level design that rewards skillful dodging and positioning. The game’s generous demo provides substantial content for players to experience the core gameplay loop before the full release.
A distinctive feature that sets Memoirium apart from traditional soulslikes is its bedroom decoration mechanic, allowing players to personalize their living space as a counterbalance to the nightmarish exploration sequences. This combination of intimate home customization with intense action sequences creates an unusual juxtaposition of comfort and chaos.
The game’s surreal presentation and dream-logic level design create an unsettling atmosphere where the boundary between reality and nightmare blurs, with each stage potentially representing fragments of an unknown consciousness navigating their own peculiar subconscious realm.
