It isn't very often that we hear of a game directly inspired by an author; let alone one as prolific as Haruki Murakami. Nonetheless, indie studio Bit Byterz is attempting just that. Their debut game Memoranda is a point-and-click adventure game that seeks to emulate the wistful, dream-like feel of Murakami's novels.

According to their KickStarter for the game, Memoranda takes place in a small European-esque town where one could enounter anything from " a WWII surviving soldier to an elephant taking shelter in a man's house hoping to become human." Everyone in the town is also tied to one common theme; they all are missing something. Be it "a name, a film reel box or someone's sanity!"
