Unlike some other 'otome' romantic visual novels we've played over the years ( like Hakuoki), each route is totally different from the outset, instead of branching midway through a single overarching story, which makes Amnesia: Memories feel like a much longer game, with each unique route taking around five or six hours to complete, from start to finish - potentially longer if you want to go back and find all the endings, good, normal and bad, and fill in all the gallery pictures, which are unlocked by picking certain conversational routes through each story. Presented with a list of worlds to choose from, each of the paths corresponds to a different 'parallel world', where your life, friends and circumstances are all different too - as well as your current boyfriend (or what you believe to be your boyfriend at any rate, as your amnesia prevents you from knowing for sure). After being introduced to your new friendly head inhabitant Orion, you'll discover there's some kind of multiverse thing going on in Amnesia: Memories, which means poor old Orion doesn't know which world he should be taking you back to.
When you first start playing, you'll find yourself in a weird kind of limbo, in a world that's far away from our own. You see, Amnesia: Memories is a little bit different to most dating games, as instead of playing the field a bit and deciding on your favourite guy as you go along, it locks you into a specific man from the outset. The decisions you make will affect how the story unfolds, letting you increase your affection levels with your chosen guy, head down a branch towards a specific ending, or simply fish for more information about your current situation, hopefully without arousing too much suspicion in the process. Providing a friend to confide in, and some often needed moral guidance, there's something in it for Orion too - because as your memories return, Orion will be gradually bumped out of your brain, freeing him to return to the spirit world.Ī visual novel with romantic tendencies, you'll spend most of your time with Amnesia: Memories reading text, watching the story unfold, and occasionally picking a conversation option here or there to help move things along. Not wanting to leave a memory-less and potentially naive and gullible you all on your lonesome, Orion cheers you on from the sidelines as you work on recovering your memories across whichever of the five paths you chose to walk down. At around the same time as your memory got wiped, Orion took up residence in your head, finding himself trapped in the spot where your memories used to live.
