When a two bit hacker gets blackmailed by a computer virus, he is forced to navigate a dangerous path in order to escape its clutches. The player guides him on his adventure, and experiences many 'bad ends' along the way...
From the Makers of Willy Bear Beach and Notes from the Cape comes MEMORY LEAK, a visual novel game that features branching paths based on skill checks and player choices. The game is played in runs, with the player experiencing many bad ends along the way to victory, all of which are collected in a gallery to be viewed later.
The THIRD major update, 'THE GANG' is now available for Windows. It contains over 50,000 words and over a dozen new endings!
Mac, Linux, and Android versions are now available!
Players can likely expect a new route to be added every 8-12 months. We are focusing on quality over schedules and crunching, therefore the exact time of release is subject to change. The game will be sold at a discounted price until it is complete. All updates will be free to anyone who has purchased the game on itch.
ANDROID, LINUX, and MAC versions largely functional but you may experience issues.
ANDROID version is available but is still WIP. Please be aware that some systems may have slowdown and others may reset the game when you switch between apps.
This project can also be supported at our Patreon, and on ADM.

The newest route is fantastic. Hot as hell, beautifully illustrated and very well-written. Had a lot of fun with it!
The only typo I spotted during my few hours playing was this (Towards the start of the Gang route):
Thank you!! 🙏
Any updates on the save option for runs? New to the game, but would be nice to pick up where i left off with the limited time i have during the day to day to play.
We're adding a save feature once the bulk of the game is finished. It wasn't originally planned but has been often requested, so it is basically second priority to finishing the actual story and art, etc. We're not using Renpy so making a save system will take some wrangling and we want to finish the meat of the VN first.
Any updates?
I do recommend supporting them on patreon. They just posted WIPs of endings and a possible release date!~
Is there going to be a guide for the second route as well?
What kind of content is in this game? Like the concept but have 0 interest in M/M content, and there is no indication of what to expect... cant pay for it if I dont know what I am paying for.
Going off google image search, it's M/M
The information is listed in the tags. Click 'More information' on the game page.
Thanks for the replies! :)
Great content you have out so far! Already very worth the price. For a game that's so focused around his mind, there's only one very sweet ending that makes use of his ears for that purpose 😋
Excited for future updates!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Is there a guide for the new route? I remember there was one for the first one.
I can't install Android version.
package issue
Corrections have been made to the Android version of MEMORY LEAK and it should now function on most systems. Sorry for the issues!
I tried the Android version and it said
App not installed as package appears to be invalid.

Huh is there a method to transfer save progress over? If one played the first route already
Your data should be saved when you overwrite the new update onto the old file.
Hey in the future would you ever add an option to turn the music down? the music is so loud and I don't want to have to turn my systems volume down just to be able to hear the thoughts in my head..
Good shit as always not a lot of people can really get what turns me on about men but my god you deliver.
At what time on Friday should we expect the route to drop?
was wondering that myself
It out guys!!!
Where can I find this gorgeous melody in the game menu? I really want to download
The music files are included in the download package ✌️
Will there be updates in other languages?
Possibly in the future after it is completed. But we can't promise anything at the moment!
Is there a discord server or another community for this game? Would love to talk about it with others
A discord server will be set up soon! Likely just before or after the second route is published, which should be before the end of October.
Is this game fully complete? The price tag makes sense if it is, but im getting confused on if the game is actually done.
Or is it still in production? If so, once i buy it, do i get full access to future updates?
Fully complete? Short answer, no but there is 1 route fully completed and there is 18 "bad ends" in it, so there is content
If you look at the replies, Artdecade is still making the next route. Coding and assets takes time man, if it was as large as the first then the price tag is worth it
Any news?
Still working on it! Almost all the assets are done for the second route, the script is done, and after that just a bit of programming. Hopefully a couple months.
Any update on the update?
Can't make any promises at the moment but it's coming along and we're aiming for late summer. Thanks to all for your patience!
dying for an update haha XD
It is coming along! We hoped to have something sooner but that's always how it goes. We thank you for your patience! We are doing our best to make it worth the wait.
How does saving in this game works?
Also, is there a guide for the endings or something?
You can't save your place during a run but the game will auto save endings when they are unlocked. A player made an endings guide and posted it in the comments below. I will also add a link to it on the game description above.
This has been a super fun playthrough! I love the dressing room and size changing stuff a lot, woulda been fun to see a bad end based on both sizes, but every bad end was so fun to explore, regardless! I look forward to future updates~
New routes releasing soon?
We are aiming for April or May 2023 for the second update, although that is somewhat tentative.
A toast to you then,
i am genually surprised to not see a single playthrough on YouTube! this vn is insanely underrated!! i cant wait to see other people react to my favorite vn so far!
Thank you! It's a bit unusual compared to other VNs, which are usually about you (the player) romancing a harem of characters. So it's possible it is a bit overlooked by the usual VN fans and youtubers. We're very glad you enjoyed it so far! The next update should be available in the first quarter of 2023.
Favourite games this year strange flesh, small on top, Robin Morningwood Adventure, oh so hero! and of course memory leak... Just wish there was more content. I would love to play another lvl up style RPG like morningwood. But ngl the music in memory leak is 100 times better than morningwood lol
Jeff's theme sounds like something you would hear In Cyberpunk 2077 combat, ngl.
Also, Is It alright If I post some of your music up on YT, Or will you do It yourself?
The music is by many different artists, the rights of which were purchased for use in the game. We on the team don't have the rights to post them elsewhere. Some of the musicians have Youtube rights protection, just to let you know before you upload anything there 😰
Music is god tier and you’re one of the few who does hypnosis really well. Godspeed sir
Thanks! We spent a lot of time listening to dozens of tracks to find good stuff, so I'm glad it was worth it! The expert hypno content is all thanks to the writer Gerrark, who has been making top level hypno material for years!
Hey! How is the game holding up?
Are you still planning on finishing the game and how's it going? 'w'
It's proceeding well! We are currently knee deep in the middle of assets creation & scripting for the next available path. I can't give an exact date on the next update, but we are hoping for February or March of 2023.
Nice! 'w'
Still love your game, hope it sells well. 'w' Very underrated
What are those yellow boxes on top right meant to represent?
And do we know what corrupted runs mean exactly? I assume when it is complete an uncorrupted/corrupted "good end" would be different?
These details will make a bit more sense once the VN is complete. They are included in the current builds because it easier to code them in now instead of all at the end. But basically there will be a small incentive to attempt at least one un-corrupted run for each path.
No idea what you have planned for the other paths, but a bad ending where Willie doesn't know his mind has been altered but we do would be hot. Might fit in the Rival or Corporation paths.
is there anyway to get the sluttiest tool in the box? both knowledge and willpower can't get though to the dressing room together so I'll always have speed or charm towards the lab? I'm lost if i can get help
Check the rest of the comments here to find a handy guide made by a helpful supporter :)
Great game! I do wish there was a way to save and come back later though after exiting the game. If that's already a feature though, where is it?
Thank you! We are testing some save features for future updates, although we don't want to promise anything just yet!
Wow this game is really great and very fun! I see a lot of effort and polish put into this game. My best bud really enjoys your music 'w'! Do you plan to ever make a game over scene to put after every failed mission (Going to basically this game's equivalent of horny jail x) ) instead of a longer black screen upon losing all 3 lives?
Thank you! In future projects we may incorporate such features. For Memory Leak we will likely stick to the format we've established, but we'll certainly throw in a few other things here and there to keep it interesting.
Yayyy! Thank you 'w'
plz put on steam
When I first launched the it was full screen but now it's windowed. How do I get it back to full screen?
Hitting F11 should get you back into full screen mode.
Hey everyone !
I've made a full guide on which path to take to get every ending.
This is mainly for people who are struggling to find a specific ending, or for people who finished the game but want to know every single skill checks in the game for example.
So please, don't look at the guide if you haven't played the game. It's 30$, don't waste your money by spoiling yourself everything.
With that said, I hope you'll find it useful and don't hesitate to tell me if some things are false, missing, or not very clear, I'll make sure to update the guide fast ;)
Thank you Artdecade for making this incredible game, I had a blast playing through it and finding every thing I could to make this guide !
Here it is (right click and open in a new tab to see in details) :
This is fantastic!
Thank you! :)
This is a fantastic guide... though upon reading through this guide, I've come to realize (*spoiler warning ahead*) that only half of the stat choices (Speed/Knowledge, Speed/Willpower, or Knowledge/Charm) are able to achieve a good ending with neither a forced bad end (that the player can, thankfully, bypass their second time around after being sent back to the prior checkpoint) nor a forced sex scene. Speed/Charm can win without a bad end, but you're required to go through either the bartender's or the squirrels' sex scene; any stat choice that includes Willpower but not Speed will necessarily require taking at least one bad end.
I kinda wish that there was at least one perfect route for each possible Willy build.
Also, the "The Sluttiest Tool in the Box" ending is a bit unusual in that it's the only bad ending that requires the player to experience and then bypass yet /another/ prior bad ending in order to get.
I actually wanted to see if every stat choices were able to get a perfect ending, and so as you say, only half of them are able to. But all of them can at least get an acceptable run (which is 0 or 1 bad end in total, a corrupted run is 2+ bad end). So in the game there's no distinction between a perfect run and a run with 1 bad end so technically, every stat choice can get you the best ending possible. But even with that I can agree with you that not being able to always do a perfect run is quite frustrating ;)
Also, only one stat choice is able to perfect the market route : speed/willpower, and it's just because of the shipping area. There are two single checks and if you happen to not have both of those stats, boom bad end.
And yeah, I also think that "The Sluttiest Tool in the Box" is too counterintuitive to get. I couldn't get it without looking at the comments
With all that, thanks for reading and analysing my guide, I really appreciate it ;)
Yay, this is very helpful! Thank you for creating this. 'w'
heya just curious before i buy is it straight content or gay content or a bit of both?
Only gay content.
Can anyone tell me how long/ how many endings this has before i buy it
As you can see in the last screenshot, currently there are 16 bad endings and 1 good ending. I went through them in about 2 days.
And all of that is only for the first chapter. As there will be 4 chapters in total when the game will be finished, we can deduce that there will be about 49 bad endings in total ! I think it's totally worth the 30$
Plus, the artworks, the game mechanics and especially the soundtracks are premium quality, so I really recommend it if you like visual novel and want to support the group ;)
Great VN Game!
Two things:
1. How do I unlock the Prisoner of Pleasure end?
2. Will GIF-like animations ever be incorporated? That, on top of the amazing music, will elevate the entire game to a whole new level!
Anyway, looking forward to subsequent chapters!
The Prisoner of Pleasure end is one of the wyrm bad end. You just need to get in the merchandise room (with the bartenders and the squirrel couple) without having speed nor knowledge (so by making a persuasive willy).
If you do it right, you won't be able to escape the wyrm and you'll get the prisoner of pleasure ending
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I'm using the Mac version and I can only play the Black Market. All of the other options darken when its time to make a choice.
It's because only the black market route is avaible for now.
The other routes haven't been made yet.
Ahh I see thanks!
