Bright Memory (2020)

Bright Memory plunges players into a lightning-fast fusion of FPS and action genres, a remarkable creation from the one-man development studio FYQD utilizing Unreal Engine 4. Players embody SRO agent Shelia, unleashing dazzling combo attacks through a wide variety of skills and abilities. Her maiden adventure begins amidst a crisis when the nefarious SAI organization, seeking the reanimating "Soul of Jiu Xuan" contained within ancient relic swords, infiltrates an SRO facility. A miscalibration of a Quantum Transporter accidentally teleports Shelia and others to the Floating Island, an airborne continent near the North Pole, where they face beasts and corpses brought back to life by the very substance the terrorists covet. This title stands out as a foundational work by FYQD-Studio, expertly combining science fiction with Chinese cultural elements in a visually stunning world. Players can rack up points to enhance skills, creating original combat combinations, while also solving FPS-style puzzles to advance through stages. As the initial release, Bright Memory (2020) garnered significant attention for its technical prowess and high-octane gameplay, showcasing the immense potential of a single developer. It served as a compelling proof-of-concept that not only demonstrated FYQD-Studio's incredible talent but also paved the way for the more expansive and refined Bright Memory: Infinite, cementing its place among the studio's best for its innovative spirit and impressive execution.
