About the game <br>
<br>
It is 1986. You just came home from a skate session when a
Nintendo game cartridge falls into your hands. Excited to
find out what kind of game is on the cartridge, you visit
your friend who got a NES console for Christmas. You plug
in the cartridge and a strange list of encrypted files
appears... <br>
<br>
What Remains is a darkly humorous 8-bit game for the
emblematic 1985 NES console, blending visual novel and
adventure elements in a story translating real events from
the 80s into an epic quest to save the world. As the story
unravels, your life in Sunny Peaks transforms
dramatically, and you start uncovering a dark secret
threatening everyone. But no despair, your best friend is
by your side... as well as a very helpful cat. <br>
<br>
The game is developed for the original NES hardware. In
line with the project’s concept, the game is developed on
reused and repurposed cartridges. The ROM will be
available for free and can be played in your favourite NES
emulator. The source code and the tools created for the
development of the game will be published under a free
culture license. <br>

About Men of Mega <br>
<br>
Utrecht's punk rock influenced chiptune duo Men of Mega
produce frantic, dancable music using the Nintendo
Gameboy. Combining massive breakbeats with comedic
melodies, they deliver an intense lo-fi electronic
experience that is guaranteed to move your feet! <br>
