Coupled with the fact that the game was seemingly the work of a sole developer, one-man studio FYQD, and you’ve got an impressive piece of work on your hands. After an overwhelming start on early access, FYQD is ready to call this version finished, moving towards a more fully-featured vision inBright Memory: Infinite....
