Lifestream Memorial is a visual novel / ”dating simulator”-esque recreation of the Gold Saucer date segment of Final Fantasy VII disc 1. Inspired by the game’s influences from 90s’ Japanese visual novel and dating sim history, as well as the narrative altering established by the modern Remake trilogy, the structure and script are largely pulled from the original game, with some major exceptions, including original assets, script reinterpretation/added content, and other secrets...? Enjoy the thrills of engaging in fandom debates about the best Cloud pairing without having to play the 40 hour video game! (Which you should anyways, because it's one of the best video games of all time.)

Made as a final project for CDM 171: Game Studies (Final Fantasy VII) @ UC Davis.

Scripting/programming by Michael "gb_camera" D. @gb_camera / @dennysmenu
