Memory Rush
A downloadable game for Windows
🏃 Memory Rush / 记忆狂奔
Dash through the past. Reclaim your childhood.
回到过去,在时间耗尽前找回属于你的童年记忆!
📖 About the Game
Memory Rush is a love letter to early 2000s Chinese childhood. Play as a silhouette child dashing through nostalgic environments, racing against a 60-second timer to collect fragments of the past.
Every collectible item carries a piece of that era's soul — from White Rabbit candy and Red Envelopes to AD Calcium Milk and VCD players. Can you collect all 60+ iconic items before the memory fades away?
✨ Key Features
- 🏠 5 Nostalgic Worlds
Explore familiar scenes from memory: the Family Living Room, Bedroom, School Kitchen, Piano Room, and more.

You only have 60 seconds. Collect items to boost your score, but watch out!
- 🔥 Combo System
