About

Nostalgia is a two-player cooperative indie game that escapes from enemies in a dark labyrinth. After waking up in the deep, dark forest, the two follow an unidentified girl into the labyrinth. Avoid enemies in the labyrinth, find a diary, reveal the hidden past, and escape.

What is happening now

Nostalgia is a turn-based RPG released for Nintendo DS in 2009 that draws on classic console conventions. The game has largely faded from active coverage, though recent industry discussion touches on broader trends around preserving and revisiting older games. GOG's Preservation Program, which includes titles like Myst and Descent, reflects growing interest in maintaining access to legacy games through archival efforts - a sentiment that speaks to the wider cultural moment the game's title invokes, even if Nostalgia itself isn't currently part of these preservation initiatives.
