CAUTION! This is an adult only NSFW game!

STORY:

Years ago you left your hometown after some bad events happened and you swore to never come back. As time goes by you manage to build a normal, even successful life and all the bad memories start to faint.

One day you get the chance of your life, the opportunity to work for one of the most successful companys on the market. You made a name over the years and they are ready to give you an insane amount of monthly payment (by your standards) for your work and the best thing is, you only need to visit the office once or twice a week at call. But of course there is a downside: They want you to move to the location of their office to be there as quick as possible when they call, and of course their office is in your old hometown...

About the game:

While the story can be heavy from time to time, the main focus is to tell a unique, mysterious, heartwarming, sexy, funny and sometimes really cute tale, about how life can change things and most importantly: people!

You can choose between male and female protagonist. While the male protag is hetero, the female protag is lesbian only!

The game has 4 main girls and currently 3 side characters.

This is planned as a harem game, but I've included a few options to avoid some later scenes (not that it's really necessary).

The game contains high quality images/renders and animations. I always do my best to maintain the highest possible quality within a reasonable production time.

A warning: Following the story, you'll be confronted with bad memories, there aren't many, but a few of them are heavy. They are essential for the story, but might be too heavy for some people, so I decided against visualizing them, and make them text only.

For MAC users:

If the game won't run, open the internal executable:
show package content on app - contents - macOS - open badmemories executable file
or
Open the terminal.
Paste (with a space at the end): xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine
Drag the app onto the terminal, so you get something like xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Users/<username>/Games/BadMemories/Bad-Memories.app

Run that command. The app should now open properly every time without needing to locate and run the internal executable.
Please note that I don't have a mac myself, all of the above is gathered from comments of other people who played the game on mac.

There's also a standalone osx version now ;)

Yo, I jumped into this game like a year ago, cruising through different paths and soaking in the cool world it throws at you. After a bit, I started wondering if the game ghosted us or something. Then bam! I spot your recent update, saying you're out of the country. No worries, man, but it's wicked awesome that you're still grinding on the game.

I gotta say, these kinds of games usually don't get enough love, so major props for putting in the work. Big thanks for keeping the vibes alive in this underrated gem. Can't wait to see what's next and how this thing keeps growing. Keep rocking it! 🚀

(+1)

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I am very excited about this game. I know there is a lot of pressure when you make games. I went to college for making games for a while and it can be stressful. Dont let the pressure get to you. Keep making the game when you have time. If you are working by yourself, then there is even more pressure. Again dont let it get to you. Just do what you have time to do. You have a life and stuff and people should remember that you cant be expected to work every waking moment on the game. I love what you have released so far and cant wait for your finished game! Love the story! 

I have the same question wink3319. I have seen nothing any where on any site about the status of the game or of the developer. And this includes STEAM. They show the developer as bmrec. The update information they show is May 31, 2023 for the last update, V0.8.5. There is a post on their community site for the game dated Dec 24, 2023 that includes some characters from the game in holiday related costumes. But as far as actual game updates. The May 31 posting was the last update to the game. Referances are made to upcoming updates but only beta verses full updates and status effects to attain each version. No projected dates just that full updates come faster for members. You should think buying the game on a client service like STEAM would qualify as a member but so far... Not impressive in any form..

There are no faster updates for members, they can play the beta, as tester, nothing else.

I'm working on two games, the other game got updated last, after BM.

There are news posts on patreon and steam, where I'm talking about being outside the country for a few weeks where I can't work on the update (which is right now btw). 

That aside, if big gaming studios can't keep their release dates, what do you expect from a single developer with a real life? I simply don't have as much time and I don't give any eta until I'm a 100% sure I can make it.

Also to give a conclusion to wink's post: patreon, discord and other links are here on my developer page, and even in the game itself (about). Wink found them even before I could answer.

(+1)

Hello BM_Rec.. Thank you so much for getting back to me and anyone else with questions. I am a fan of both games. I sent a comment on STEAM about WS since I am chomping at the bit for both games. As for time and updates. You gotta do what you gotta do. Getting things set and back on a normal plane in a new country/homeland or hiding in plain sight... You gotta do what is right for you and the fam'. And B4 anyone says a bad thing.... The Mrs ALWAYS CUMS FIRST!!! Sorry.... Forgot how to spell for a dirty minute there... In any case. With the responses you have received I think you know you have a lot of fans and a lot of support out here. Even if we all cannot pay it forward, side ways, or backward. We still support talented folks who are on the ball... Just keep us up to date as often as da mistress allows U..... ;<)

Hi there! Is this game still in progress? Is there a way to reach out to the developer? Is there a patreon or the like?

(+1)(-5)

I guess you already found your answer :D

Literally every time i download it says did not install, Help?

If it's on mac/ios, read the last part of the games description. If it's on Android you probably need more space (unpacking the game requires a lot of temporary space), and if you have an ilder version installed, delete that before installing the new one.

(+1)

So......when, approximately,  are we going to see the next update? Inquiring Patrons want to know lol

(+4)(-1)

No eta yet, but I'm on it ;)

(+1)

hi dev! i  was interested in purchasing your game and was wondering if you could tell me how large it is. how many renders/animations.

(+1)

Hi. A bit under 3gb, I'm not sure about playtime, but definitely several hours. Renders about 5k, animations about 200.

Did you have a Discord server up for this VN

I do, yes, just follow the link on my creator page.

I've not molested Katherine during either of the first two opportunities and didn't force oral on her at the third opportunity but in every interaction with her she always acts like I have.  At the playground she's even still accusing me of "molesting innocent people."  Is this because you don't have any story alternatives written where MC isn't always sexually assaulting her?  Is there no point in avoiding assaulting her because she always acts like MC did in future scenes regardless?

(+1)

She should react differently of you didn't molest her. Maybe a variable didn't trigger, or you activated one accidentally.

There's not much going with her if you don't do anything though.

Game sounds interesting, any idea about when it will be finished?

(+2)

Not really, maybe next year, maybe in two. It's hard to tell since updates vary in time they take and amount of content.

(+2)

alright, best of luck then! I really Like the Idea of choosing gender. Guess i'll buy it and Support you 

is this game dead?

(+3)(-1)

Nope.

(+1)

Hey BM. 

First of how are you? I hope you doing good.

Second is there a way to support you beside buying the game here again and again?

(+4)

Hey there, thanks I'm good. There's a Patreon and a subscribestar page, just click on my profile to get to my creator page with all the links ;)

Thanks a ton.

(+2)

Nice and thanks just sup to your patreon I'm in love with Bad Memories so I want to support you

(+2)(-1)

Thanks, I'll be soon back working on it. Next update will be big ;)

(1 edit)

The beginning on android is broken. Get an error when trying to input first name. Have to play game with everyone calling you "you". Why is that the default name anyway?


This is from 2 different websites as well. From lewdzone and here on itch. I thought it might be a bad download but twice from two separate websites is unlikely

(+1)(-1)

Yes, sounds like something is broken. I usually just use the standard name for testing, that's probably why I didn't notice it. Unfortunately I won't have access to my computer for about a week, so I can't even fix it soon, but you can try using joyplay on android with the pc version if you want.

I'm stuck, I just finished the date with Hannah and went home to go to bed. Then shortly after Ellie and jada sneak into the room my game crashes. Is there any way around this? I'm playing on android by the way.

(-1)

Did you try redownloading the game? Might be that the download got corrupted.

Yeah I have a few times. Alright I'll try re-downloading it is there anyway to keep my saves?

Yes, you can move, or copy the files. You need a file manager app for that though. I don't know about iPhone, but on android the save files are in android>data>bad.memories (not a 100% sure about the name, I can't check atm). 

Alright sounds good I'll try it thanks man.

(-3)

hey guy, when do we have the next update?

(+3)(-1)

It will take a while, my other game gets an update first.

(-5)

Hey, so I'm still waiting for update. Please when we have the update 

Then please more Take the story further.

(-3)

Then sorry for my poor English, it's not my mother tongue.

(1 edit)

How do you change your first name? On Android.  For some reason it's "You" and I can't find where to change it. Last name happens at the hotel in the beginning

(+1)

Both, surname and name are at the hotel.

Quick question is the mc going to do a shoot with the actresses Em is really cute and it would be really cool to see more of her with mc in the mix than just casual talk, and yes you did a great job at showing the characters since I don't like Jess.

Thanks, yes, but it will depend on the player choices.

Well, that's super, I guess we both know my choice I'm looking foward to it then.   ;)

(+1)

Fantastic new scenes. Last time i played was when Ellie disappeared. I cannot wait to see what comes next

Hey BM_Rec question.  Did someone steal your game or clone it or do you have two names?  Cause same exact name and same version but it's Male Protagonist only. 

Where?

It's just another pirate site. A lot of games there are "pirated".

(+2)(-1)

ok Thank you.  Just wanted you to know cause I really love your game.

(1 edit)

Yoo, new update is awesome, but, animations don't work on sex scenes :/ also Gallery is not fully fixed, I suppose MC has to have dick instead of pussy.

Yeah, I'm already uploading a fix. There's a bug in the newest version of the engine and I upgraded just yesterday to test something out... so now I downgraded and everything works as expected.

Which scene shows the wrong gender?

The ones I noticed was with Katherine when first time have sex with her, and also when you check latest scene from update if on harem path, instead of sucking dick she was licking pussy haha. So, most likely, all of them, Ellie also. There's a scene where she has ''honey'' and stuff, but there's only 69 pose in the scene, I know there is missing something.

Will there be more content with the hanna story line?

(+1)

yes.

(1 edit)

Hey Rec.. Curious, In early scenes out the windows the house is on water..... notice in your screen shots. ie 3rd shot above .... in latest update how is it dumb cop is standing in a yard and not water?

(+2)

if you look closely in the "search for Ellie" scene, you can see that the house is right at the edge of the water ;)

(+1)

Ahh OK just seemed odd from window views to the cop scene view. as always thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work, I am enjoying this story.

Just to let you know, new update is bugged. All sex scenes from previous updates have missing images and it's skipping alot of things, in the story as well. Not sure if you noticed.

That sounds more like you played the beta, are you sure it's the version you got here? There was a also a bug in 0.8(.0) that made saves incompatible, the last patch (0.8.2) fixes all the issues, except the gallery.

I'm sure I downloaded 0.8.2 and I know gallery is bugged. But also while in story I got few errors exception something something and it skipped. Also, is the last update without sex scenes or am I missing something?

(+1)

Sounds like you're missing something, yes.

What does the error say? The important part are the last few lines.

I don't have the error atm and I don't know if I could get it again even if I'd restart whole update, unless there's a crash log which could be useful?

Is there going to be an android version

If I can compress the game enough without compromising the quality too much, and after everything is fixed. I've got a few bug report and want them sorted before I do anything else.

Didn't this use to be on Android? I swear I've played it on my phone before.

Yes, when it was under 2gb, which is the limit for sideloading apps on Android.

Thanks 

(+1)

Just a little idea. something I started doing because I was having the same issue.  I keep a separate project in renpy just for android version. once I complete the pc version, I copy over scripts and new images to the android version and run YAC(Yet Another Cruncher).  YAC also keeps track of what its already compressed so it won't compress the same image twice.   Just a thought for you. PS. love you game. Your game is part of the reason I decided to start my own. ;)

Hi, I am one of your patrons at the supporter $2/mo tier. My discord was hacked a while back and it sent spam to all of the discord servers I was on. Including yours. My apologies. Now that my Discord is secure I'd like to rejoin your server. Can you help me with that? LostTrack#1712

(+4)

Done. Try not to get hacked again ;P

Thanks. I'll do my best :D.

Between the convoluted way the game got the MC to end up in his old room, and the lack of updates, I just refunded the game on Steam. So much easier to have the apartment available for the MC, only for him to find Rachel is his landlord and lives with his Sister down the hall! Would have been quicker to program and been much more immersive than the "all around the houses" to get you in your own room that is currently the case!

(+8)(-1)

tell me you didn't pay attention to the plot without telling me, its his house

(+1)(-17)

Your apartment burns down, the hotel miraculously has all its rooms filled, the day after your booking ends. He's just pipped at the post to get an apartment, every apartment in the whole city is full (never ever seen that, and I have stayed in cities all over the world!). That's what I mean by convoluted! This is why I gave my much more immersive and simpler way of getting to meet your ex and her daughter!

(1 edit)

you've obviously travelled budget/off-season. shit all over the world often gets completely booked out even in non-tourist cities. hmm, especially in non-tourist cities.

Don't assume, because you're wrong, but in any case, if a city is full, wouldn't the budget apartments go first? And you don't really have off seasons on cities, only in beach tourist areas... Think before you comment.

(1 edit)

god or nature, doesnt matter which, gave me a Brain that has two very specific purposes.
to make assumptions and judgements.i choose to  use my brain.
just as i assumed you're a cheaparse off-season traveller, i also judge you to be incompetent - cities DO have travel seasons just like every other destination, sincerely, dude who has worked in admissions in a big city hotel, and had to find other work during off-season.

Semantics! You realize it's a **GAME** right? Not your alter ego, that couldn't get a hotel room...lol 

Having to run around smashing one's head into bricks to get money and eating fungi to grow up and flowers to breathe fire is pretty convoluted as well... That said, Mario turned out to be a great **GAME** didn't it!? lol

(3 edits) (+6)(-1)

Hey Rec! Just want to let you know that I love this game man! I'm from Brazil and I admire your work. It's in my top 5. Look I've played like those most famous games of the gender, up to date and the majority cannot be compared to your game, it's unreal if compared to other games that have like a team of people and still cannot reach your level. Its clear the effort you have put on this game. But what makes it funny is the fact that you are a only man team developer! Y're the goat! Keep working on it and thanks once again buddy.

(+1)(-4)

Hello, OK, I admit that I haven't yet played your game, but, after reading the comments I am adverse to at the moment. The thing that is putting me off is more updates. I am really looking for Yuri's that are finished. With all things going on with my life, by the time the updates come out I have forgotten the rest of the story. Like buying half a book. So, yes I am definitely interested in getting this, but ONLY when it is totally finished. I do love me a great Yuri.

(+1)(-1)

don't worry this comment section is just cursed 
and yeah in your case you might enjoy it better after some updates

I'm not sure i understand the point of this post. I mean I understand if you're only looking for completed visual novels (you'd be missing out on a lot of good content though) but what is the point of telling the creator that you won't d/l until they finish? Do you think that telling them that will somehow make them finish earlier? You can also follow creators or projects so that when an update comes out, you are notified so as to not worry about forgetting, then you could just replay (or as many games have available, recap). Like I said, I get if you don't want to do that, just don't see the reason for trying to guilt the creator for lack of updates. Most of the creators on here have other jobs and life's so they release content when they can.

he is telling the creator that he should have finished the game already.

LOL Thank you, your comment made me laugh. Of COURSE I am not telling the creator WHEN to finish, but to let us know when it IS finished. Thanks for the laugh though.

(+4)

When is the next update coming? Seems like it's been a while since an update was released.

(+18)

I hope to finish it next month.

(+1)(-7)

It's now next month.

(+8)(-1)

Yes, it is indeed.

(-4)

And your last update was almost a year ago. I understand taking your time, but this is too long. Just sayin'.

(+8)

It's not "taking my time", there's just a lot going on in my real life at the moment, have a look at my Patreon if you want to know more. The update is currently in beta as well, so it will be released soon.

(+5)

 OK I'm fairly new to AVNs but I gotta say I enjoyed it so far to an extent. The only thing off-putting was the story arc with "Katie". The progression seemed way to forced in the early part and almost made me quit the game. The animation and all were excellent though. Look forward to future updates that and well definitely be sending (more than) a few bucks your way once this is completed.

(+6)

I actually liked this game a lot. Its got wonderful storytelling and seems to me to be on the greats.

(2 edits) (+1)

First of all, sorry for my bad english.
I play a bunch of games in this line and yours is my favorite.

Can't wait for the next update.

Keep it up bro, you're building a masterpiece.

Sorry to see so much hate in the posts below. To each their own when it comes to tastes in content. It's your story bro, I'm just here to enjoy the ride, thanks man, looking forward to the next update!

(+2)

Is there any difference between this version and the Steam version? 

(+2)

Nope, they're the same ;)

Hey, wondering if I could get a refund. Was charged by itch but have no access to download. I'm going to repurchase on Steam.

(+4)

I think something went wrong with your payment, when I look for you under payments, the search returns nothing, so I can't issue a refund. You should contact itch directly and refer to this post.

(+4)

Appreciated. I did by the game on Steam. It's really good

(+1)(-15)

Welp!

To be honest, The description looked interesting. I'm roughly 30 mins into the story, and already I feel regret paying for this game.

The story and the writing feels like it's right out of sex offender's fantasy diary.

Keep the money and please use it to get professional help. Game or not, this shit is not normal!

*sigh*

(+12)

*Sigh*

You can ask for a refund and spend your money on the next murder-simulator Call of Duty instead...

Or keep playing a little longer and maybe you'll notice that the game might not be what you think.

(+1)(-6)

I'm sorry for being harsh in my post, perhaps I should have held back until further into the story and I'm trying to do just that. But the whole theme just feels downright 'creepy'. I'm really hoping that by the time I reach the end, I'll end up hating myself for my first comment and perhaps I will. but so far.....

I think what really bothers me is more centered around alot of the phrasing used. Many things could have been written differently without sacrificing the actual story intent and not come across as a walking sexual crime scene.

I suppose I'll just have to keep pushing on. 

(+9)

If it's not your cup of tea then don't drink it !

I for one like the style it is written in.

But each to their own.

(+5)

new to this arnt you? if you don't like this then I would avoid many others with the tags like this one. not all are like this one but there are many. I could even recommend something with less kinks if you like. but please keep the shaming out of the comment section. you will find few friends in the erotic game community in general if you don't.

the creepiness makes it better

A sphincter says what?

hello, there will be new update??:)

Yes.

Happy New Year
