What this game is
The game tells the story of the first adventure of Shelia, an SRO agent. The organization studies ancient relics, while the SAI terrorists try to seize their secret.
The Floating Island near the North Pole, which slept for more than a thousand years, comes to life under the influence of the "Soul of Jiu Xiang". Resurrected beasts and the dead of former inhabitants roam it, and all of them hunt the heroine.
Bright Memory is a short, very fast first-person shooter focused on combos, made mostly by one person under the FYQD-Studio name. The game came out on Steam in March 2020, with PLAYISM helping with publishing. It is single-player only, with Russian text translation but no Russian voice-over. The idea is simple: cross shooting with a stylish slasher. You earn points for fights, develop abilities and build your own move chains from them, so an enemy goes down not from one burst of fire but from a chain of shots, strikes and abilities. Between fights, the levels offer first-person puzzles, and you cannot move on without solving them. The heroine is Shelia, an agent of the SRO, the Supernatural Science Research Organization. Scientists have found the thousand-year-old swords "Ganjiang and Moye", with the "Soul of Jiu Xiang" hidden at their core, a substance able to raise the dead. The terrorist group SAI hunts for it: using a quantum transporter, its fighters break into the research center. Shelia starts the device by mistake, and everyone nearby is thrown onto the Floating Island near the North Pole. The island slept for more than a thousand years, but now the local beasts and the dead of its former inhabitants come back to life and follow the heroine's trail. The world combines science fiction and traditional Chinese culture, and the visuals are built on Unreal Engine 4. Shelia is voiced by Yui Ishikawa. Who it suits: those who want a fast single-player action game for an evening, with bright visuals and freedom in combinations. Its origin is also of interest: a shooter with this kind of graphics is rarely made by a single author.
