A Box Full of Memories is a collection of three nano stories built with Ren'Py, Blender, GIMP, Krita, and LMMS for NaNoRenO 2025. You play as Elisa, a young woman navigating the ups and downs of life, feeling a bit disheartened by recent events.

One fateful day on her way home from work, she stumbles upon a garage sale. Among the clutter, an old weathered box catches her eye. She buys it intending to use it as a planter, but inside, she discovers three hidden diaries.

Each diary belongs to a different person: Daniel, a hardworking husband whose undiagnosed ADD is straining his marriage and career; Clara, a once-vibrant mother and teacher shattered by the death of her husband 13 years ago; and little Emilio, a resilient 5-year-old boy born into a world that seems determined to hold him back.

Their stories will move you. Visit the itch.io page to download for free and uncover every diary entry, a bilingual experience in English and Spanish, with about half an hour of heartfelt reading.
