About the game

Keepsake was a labor of love developed 10 years ago by us as an independent studio. For its anniversary, we thought it would be great to see it live again on steam and gain a new following, as we feel that it is still relevant today.

This brings me back to when I was a teenager and played computer games constantly. Oldie and a goodie

I remember playing this game when I was like 7 or 8. And back then I got stuck in the lower part of the school! Still it's a nostalgia for me.

There is something to remember when many games from childhood begin to come true again. However, in this game I got stuck at the first stage, where I had to pass exams. In any case, the game is about a sad story, where the main character arrives at a school of magic, where in the end we don't meet anyone… Although in general in the end we'll meet only one surviving idiot, hoping to attract more attention to himself...
