The voice acting for all the characters was fantastically done and I didn’t find too many problems with spelling, grammar or translations. Other than the styling of the characters, the artwork was pretty to look at and the settings were well portrayed with the use of colour palette changes to show different times of day. The first thing that came to mind was, “What the hell is he wearing?” as he looked like he’d jumped straight out of a Final Fantasy game with a stupid amount of belts all over his body and ‘edgy’ clothing.
On entering the Heart World, I awakened to be greeted by a guy who I later found out to be named Shin. I decided to follow suit and play the worlds in the order they were listed. Each World has a good ending, normal ending and at least two bad endings. There are five Worlds: Heart, Spade, Clover, Diamond and the bonus Joker World which is unlocked by getting the good ending in the other four Worlds.
I love the way Orion is included in the game, acting somewhat as a narrator and making comments throughout the game, some of which are pretty hilarious. He also states that there are multiple worlds in which you may have possibly come from and he will guide you on your journey to reclaiming your memories. I played Amnesia: Memories on Steam for around 45 hours, reaching 100% completion.Īmnesia: Memories begins by meeting the spirit, Orion, a ‘strange looking kid’ who collides with your character, claiming he is the reason you’ve lost your memories.

In 2015, the game was released in North America and Europe and there have been a few other games in the series released exclusively for PSP since. That being said, here I am with my first review of the year for my first 2019 game completion.Īmnesia: Memories was originally released in 2013 in Japan by Idea Factory for PSP and PC. I don’t always feel like playing games when I get in from work, so diving into something with minimal demand on my end is a great way to chill out after a long day. Most otome fans will most likely find this game worth their time but only if they are into the "I'm a huge jerk and I will only show how much I actually appreciate you at the very end of my route" character type, because honestly there's not much else here on offer.Personally, I find there’s nothing better than getting stuck right into a well written visual novel. The voice acting is great and the overall quality especially in terms of visuals is however up to par. Amnesia: Memories definitely has lots of mystery, drama and even tiny horror elements, but tends to lack proper, well-written romance. I found it hard to care about the overarching storyline as I had to play as this very naive girl whose decisions I simply couldn't get behind. This not only makes some bad characters, but it also makes it hard to make and understand those "good" decisions when half of them sound like huge red flags. Each romantic interest seems to either lead you to danger or treat you absolutely horribly, which unfortunately left me disliking half the cast.
In order to survive and get the best endings, most routes require you, as the heroine, to make inconceivably trusting and even downright dangerous decisions. Although the story does have an interesting premise, it rarely makes much sense. The story has multiple twists and turns regarding the main character's amnesia and the existence of this mysterious being that only she can see, but leaves a lot to be desired. At its core Amnesia: Memories is a pleasant-looking visual novel with all in all five interesting routes and guys for the main character to At its core Amnesia: Memories is a pleasant-looking visual novel with all in all five interesting routes and guys for the main character to romance.
