Introduction

Welcome to 'Amnesia: Memories', the only visual novel that makes you question everything, like why you thought it was a good idea to play a game about forgetting everything. It’s like living in a suspense thriller where the protagonist can't even remember where she left her favorite pencil. Spoiler: It’s probably in the same place she left her sanity.

Gameplay

So, here's the deal: you play as a charming yet forgetful heroine (hereafter referred to as "the forgetful one"). She woke up one day with no memories, thanks to a spunky spirit named Orion who decided to hitch a ride in her brain. To regain her memories, she has to interact with a bunch of suitors that are relatable only to those who have a mild obsession with card games, because each one represents a card suit. I mean, who needs identity when you can date the King of Hearts or the Joker? Each character has their own route, and picking who to pursue is like trying to survive a game of Russian roulette—just with more romantic misunderstandings and significantly less mortality. You'll make choices that send you spiraling through different storylines like a roller coaster designed by someone who used to play Monopoly.

Graphics

The graphics are like fine wine, they age well and look delightful. With gorgeous character art and backgrounds that make you question whether you’ve stepped into a whimsical dream or a middle school art project gone awry, the visual appeal keeps you engaged. Who knew forgetting stuff could look so good? Characters are designed to be stunning enough that even your average potato would become fond of them. Just don’t blink too hard; you might miss some important dialogue while appreciating their shiny hair and dreamy eyes.

Conclusion

To summarize, 'Amnesia: Memories' is like eating your favorite dessert, only to realize halfway through that you forgot you were on a diet. It’s charming, romantic, and sometimes outright confusing. The different routes and endings give it replay value, but a word of warning: don’t try to take in too much sugar at once; your brain might just short-circuit. If you enjoy visual novels and don’t mind some emotional rollercoaster riding with very little actual coordination involved, then grab your Switch and dive into this beautifully chaotic jumble of memory loss and romance. Just remember, forgetting is part of the fun!
