It's been three years since 2064: Read Only Memories INTEGRAL first arrived on Switch and since then, we've been left wondering whether the upcoming sequel Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER would follow suit. Initially telling us it had "nothing to announce" last year for Switch, MidBoss has finally given us that confirmation.
Previously revealed in 2019 for other platforms, this recent update comes via Famitsu, who also confirmed NEURODIVER is now targeting a Q1 2022 release date.
You can find an outline on what to expect below:
Read Only Memories: Neurodiver, the next mystery adventure set in the world of MidBoss’ 2064: Read Only Memories. Return to the vibrant cyberpunk world of Neo-San Francisco from 2064: Read Only Memories, filled with friendly and familiar faces including Jess Meas, the gene-spliced, hybrid lawyer, TOMCAT, the notorious hacker, and Lexi Rivers, former police officer turned private eye. Take on the role of ES88, a telepath with the ability to delve into memories employed by MINERVA, a powerful organization specializing in neurotechnology and extrasensory projection phenomena.
Tasked with tracking down the Golden Butterfly, a naturally gifted psychic on the loose and wreaking havoc through the subconscious minds of Neo-San Francisco, by using the Neurodiver to search the memories in which it hides. Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER’s Deep Dive mechanic enables ES88 to identify, manipulate, and unlock information, though overuse can irreparably corrupt her target’s memory. Neurodiver will introduce new characters, locations, and mechanics, including the ability to dive into and change other characters’ memories, as well as overhauled art and an unsolved case to crack with multiple endings.
We quite enjoyed 2064 back in 2018, awarding it 8/10 stars, so we're looking forward to seeing how Midboss has built upon it. It's not available for Switch but, if you've got a competent PC, you can download the "Pilot Memory" demo now via Steam or the Epic Games Store.
Excited for this 2064 sequel? Will you be trying out the demo? Let us know.

Awesome. 2064: Read Only Memories was really good so I'll definitely grab this when it comes out.
Interesting. I've owned the original for a while on both PC and Switch, but I never seem to be able to find the time to play it. Guess I'll need to fit it into my schedule.
Ahhhh, interesting. The first game is buried in my wishlist. I need to purchase and play that soon.
I will give this one a try I think.liked the first one
Wasnt the original embroiled in some kind of controversy? I think there was harassment or something. Wouldn't want to give money to bad people, is it all above board now?
@Ralizah Best way to play it is in bed in handheld mode. Like reading a book before you sleep.
I forgot about this game when I was clearing out my wishlist. This is my kind of point-and-click, so I'll get INTEGRAL back on there. NEURODIVER looks good too.
I am still not buying any games from
Midboss, after Nintendo fired that one Allison person Midboss wanted nothing to do with Nintendo and I decided then that I wanted nothing to do with Midboss.
@Moistnado It got out that their CEO at the time, Matt Conn, was harassing a ***** ton of his staff and made it a super hostile work place. I know he resigned and some of the other senior staff left but I don't know how much of his enablers are still running around. It honestly makes me kinda sick to see him trying to pal around with like, SWERY and other devs to try and rehabilitate his image after getting outed as a creep and awful boss like that.
That said if the money isn't going to Conn or other people who were abusing their power in the company I'm definitely going to have to check this out when it finally comes out.
The art and animation in this look fantastic! I've been listening to the 2064 ROM soundtrack quite a bit since I played it. Maybe I'll give this one a try when it comes out.
