Independent developer eye-factory has released a demo for the gyro-controlled third-person shooter 'Amnesia Bullet' on Steam. The developer, who had no prior programming experience, used AI chat tools and Unity to build the game and publish the demo in 30 days. A post on X documenting the first week of development received roughly 970,000 impressions. The game is a single-player action shooter in which a girl who lost her memory fights enemies across 3D stages. Players switch between assault rifles, sniper rifles, and launchers. The demo covers the early story and the first stage, '1st Memory (Blue).' Clearing normal difficulty unlocks higher difficulties. The developer recommends a gamepad with gyro support, and compatibility has been confirmed with the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and DualSense. 'Amnesia Bullet' is scheduled to begin early access on PC via Steam around early July 2026.

A post on X about the first week of development drew around 970,000 impressions. The game is a third-person shooter where players control a girl who has lost her memory and fights 'bad things' to recover it. Stages are called 'Memories,' each with time-limited enemy elimination goals. Players earn Crown Coins to upgrade HP and attack power. Between stages, players explore quiet base areas. The demo includes the tutorial and the first stage. Entering the secret word 'TRIAL' after the tutorial grants 100 Crown Coins. The developer recommends a gyro-compatible gamepad, and the demo works with the Switch Pro Controller and DualSense. The full early access release is planned for early July 2026 on Steam.
