Hi ROM fans! We're excited to announce that alongside the release of Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER on May 16th, we will be launching an artbook, an original soundtrack, and a FREE digital manual on the same day.
Visual Works
Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER is a beautiful homage to anime-inspired classic Japanese adventure games such as Famicom Detective Club, Snatcher, and Policenauts. To showcase the artwork in NEURODIVER, "Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER Visual Works" dives into concepts, designs, key art, animation frames, and much more from the game. Compiled by MidBoss' creative director and lead artist, John "JJSignal" James, this collection is a must-have for fans curious about peeking behind the scenes at the visuals that would eventually paint the the pixelated world of Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER!
Original Game Sountrack
Dive into the bright, glossy and rich tones of Neo-San Francisco with 22 original tracks composed by Ken "coda" Snyder. Let the silicon streets of the city come to life in your ears as each song sets the hearts of classic Yamaha FM chips on FIRE! It's a PSY-FI HI-FI SOUND SENSATION!! Long live the power of FM synthesis!
Instruction Manual
Step back into the golden era of gaming when every game came with a manual! This Digital Game Manual doesn't just show you how to play the game, but provides beautiful and detailed info about the world of Neo-San Francisco in 2070. Learn about the mysterious MINERVA, meet ES88 and her friends and colleagues, and reunite with old friends like Turing. Extras include concept art and animation frames - all for FREE!
Complete Edition Bundle
The complete collection - game, artbook, soundtrack, manual - will be available as a Complete Your Collection Bundle on Steam. If you haven't already, please Wishlist the game now and get ready to dive into the neon pixel world of Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER on May 16th!
