Unmemory is a Thriller Story set in the 90s about love, revenge and memory (and the Killer Kittens) Unmemory tells the story of a person who is tracking down the man who murdered his girlfriend, a member of a band of lady thieves. The difficulty, however, of locating the killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. Using notes, pictures and recorded messages he will have to solve the mystery and maybe, just maybe, discover an uncomfortable truth. Each chapter is dedicated to a different memory trigger: Game mechanics are designed to make the player feel the way time, music, pain, touch, taste, places or smell affect our memories. Unmemory is a story about how memories build our own identity. Behind this noir plot, there are the real protagonists, the Killer Kittens, an all-girl art group within the culture jamming movement that fight against an unfair and sexist capitalist society through their art pranks. I kiss everything I kill, I kill everything I kiss is the motto of these ingenious, seductive and empowered girls, capable of transforming the most incredible robberies into a masterpiece of art.
