Amnesia: Memories is an otome game released for the digital store on the Playstation VITA and on PC available through the STEAM store.
Marvelle’s Note: This is a legacy post, meaning I found it on my tumblr from my versions that were lost. My habits for working on things on multiple avenues pays off sometimes~ I’m also not going to do a complete Let’s Play of this game.
First of all, it may seem like I’m making fun of this game to be cruel. I’m really not. I love cheesy things, but as always, I can’t seem to turn my brain off and part of the fun of this game is laughing at the cheesiness imo. I also prioritize troll answers above all answers, so I’m pretty certain my first playthrough is going to end in a bad end lol
I know nothing about this game outside of it being popular in Japan. I know it had an anime, but I only lasted five minutes into that before I had to shut it off because I hated it.
So here’s for blind plays!
I have both the vita and PC version but after some technical difficulties with my PC (I could not get the sound to work for the life of me, and this is not a problem unique to the game, I can’t get the sound to work in any program outside my web browser) I had to dig through boxes to find my vita charger. Worth it~
So, we start out in a dreamland and Orion explains that his presence in the heroine’s mind has pushed out her memories and if she gets them back, she can push him out. Yeah, that didn’t make any sense to me either, but I’m rolling with it.
He comments on how calm she is about the ordeal, and I agree, she’s like a sack of potatoes.
And then I get to look at her and she’s dressed like one too!
jk jk, I actually like her character design. The hat is cute, the color scheme is cute, and I like the rose details along with her braid bun wannabe Pocahontas braid thing going on. I’d wear it, put that shit up on modcloth!
Well, her memories being pushed out also pushed out her personality, which I take as an invitation to select the troll responses each time one is available. I mean, really, who can resist?
Orion rambles on an on about how she shouldn’t trust people because they could be lying to her, even if they say they’re her friends or family and uhhhhh what sort of mafia life was Heroine-chan leading before this started? Is she the leader of the cartels? La Reina del Sur? (I am now sad I already named her and I could not use La Reina del Sur)
Anyway, we go back to the apartment where she lives. First Orion is all “Look, it’s August! We know this because your calendar is on August!”
I admire Heroine-chan. My calendar still says February. In my defense, I really like February’s picture.
And then later, we get this:
…
August first, you say? And we have a complete month to get her memories back, you say? What an absolute coincidence!
Anyway, we search her room for clues and she doesn’t have many items that showcase her personality. I am a little worried that if someone were to search my room, I too, would come up with nothing because I am a sack of potatoes. Or maybe a psycho cuteaholic I know this is so we can project, but I seriously don’t want to be a sack of potatoes. (Maybe I should have named her sack of potatoes) (I just don’t like silent protags too much, and we don’t even have internal thoughts like some other otome games) (So now I will imagine her a snarky amnesiac princess like a true RPG)
But the one clue we did have….
AHEM! EXCUSE ME!!!!!!
That’s right. Making fun of my hats, bitch you’re lucky in you’re in my head or I would show you what this hat is made of B-I-T-C-H
So we look at the phone and some dude calls us. Orion has a heart attack. How do we knoooooowwwwww we can trust him!?
I dunno, I tend to be in contact with people I trust. #justsaying
After Heroine-chan displays her people skills, we get to go on a date!
We go on a date, Orion. To the police station. Where he’ll do a lie detector test. And we’ll find out if he’s after me or my money. And if he’s after my money, I’m showing you what I do to bitches who make fun of my hats.
And now I sit and wait for him to arrive. I may die. Yeap. I do get the bad ends pretty easily.
