![]() ![]() I really like the watercolor static backgrounds of each setting and the art style overall has aged well since Memories originally released. Games like this are good for those looking to wind down while still getting an engaging and thought provoking experience. I was eager to have the character get out and explore as soon as possible to get answers and fill in the blanks. It was very easy to sink hours into Amnesia from the start as the baseline story concept (what would you do if you lost your memories?) was very intriguing. ![]() The Amnesia games are storybook adventures where the player simply sits through lines of dialogue in each scene, occasionally making a decision when prompted, and then dealing with the repercussions down the line. With this being a 3-pack of games to review, that was a little more long-winded of an introduction to what the games are, but we can finally move on to the rest of the juicy details. In Amnesia Memories, it was recommended that the worlds be played in the order they were listed, but this isn’t the case with Later x Crowd play them in whichever order you like. Aside from playing through the typical four worlds, however, there’s the addition of several other storylines for a more in-depth look at other events and characters. Later x Crowd features more scenarios for the heroine’s predicament, including After Story, which takes place after the events of Amnesia Memories, and Suspense, where you’ll actually have to interact with the environment to escape danger in each route. Until this Switch release, these games were not available outside of Japan. ![]() There is a fifth hidden world, considered to be the true story of Amnesia, however you can only access this world if you get the ‘good’ ending of all four of the other worlds.Īmnesia Later x Crowd is a 2-in-1 fandisc follow-up to Amnesia Memories. In total, there are 17 possible endings, with only a few of them being good. Endings can be bad, normal, or good, depending on the level of trust/suspicion and other factors based on how conversations with other characters go. Each story has a handful of different endings depending on the player’s choices. There are four primary love interests your character will spend much of her time with, each with their own separate storyline (world) that explores different circumstances regarding the heroine’s situation, and all with different outcomes. He’ll guide her back to one of the four worlds of her life where she’ll search for clues to help unlock her lost memories. Orion promises to help the heroine reclaim her memories while also trying to make sure she doesn’t get led astray by those around her. All she has to go off of is the word of a small spirit named Orion who claims to have collided with the girl’s mind while on his way to conduct business elsewhere. Our heroine awakes on August 1st with no memory of who she is or anything that has happened before that day. The story starts off in Amnesia Memories, which was first released on the PlayStation Vita in 2015 and was later ported to mobile devices. ![]() This is alongside whatever the story’s main objective is, which, you probably guessed, in this case is the loss of the main character’s memories. Collectively being referred to as Amnesia going forward, these games are part of the Otome genre of games where you explore the different love interests between your main character and a series of typically second-lead male characters. I’m not talking about the Amnesia horror games, by the way, I’m talking about Amnesia Memories and Amnesia Later x Crowd published by Idea Factory. But I don’t think I’ve ever come across one before that constantly made me cringe as much as I did while playing the Amnesia games. Every once in a while I come across a game that makes me question my sanity. ![]()
