Rosemary is a short point-and-click adventure centered around the theme of
childhood memories. When Rosemary discovers a photograph of a forgotten
friend, she cannot recall what has become of him, so she decides to travel
back to the town of New Rye to find out if it brings back any memories. At the
start of the game three locations are available that the girl can explore
freely. To progress in the game and solve the mystery, Rosemary’s memory needs
to be pieced back together. By examining the environment she will recall
certain events that are stored as photographs. Placing these correctly inside
a diary completes lines of text, reveals additional information and changes
the environment, sometimes introducing new object or other subtle changes.

The modern day New Rye is dark and deserted, but at any location Rosemary can
travel back to the same place in her memory by clicking a button in the bottom
left corner, revealing characters and events from her younger days. Retracing
her steps opens up additional locations and a number of puzzles that also
encompass collecting objects, storing them in an inventory and using them in
the environment.

The main actions are shown through buttons at the bottom of the screen: look
at, walk, talk, listen, smell, take, open/close, dig, hit and put. Hovering
over locations in the environment with the mouse cursor reveals a tooltip with
the name written in text, indicating that the player can interact with it.
