Absolutely excellent!
It’s so nice to occasionally come across a game meant more for adults, this definitely has more meat on its bones than the hos and match 3 the store is crammed with, no iaps here just great imagination and talented developers offering brilliant story and puzzles in an original way. I loved Device 6 and while it does take some ideas it is definitely it’s own creation. I love the story being drip fed you as you progress, the puzzles are logical and of medium difficulty, and that song alone is worth the fee....I can’t get it out of my head! Brilliant! Well done on another excellent game.
Edit: so I’ve just finished and wow just wow, I can’t believe ppl can put together such amazing content , it’s leap years ahead of most of the **** that clogs up the App Store. This game deserves so much recognition and I want to say a huge thank you 🙏 to the developers responsible for such originality.
Edit: a new game!!!! Eeek! So excited…. Thank you so much for letting me know! Instant download 😂

Not for me
boring and simple.
Great Scroll-and-Tap Adventure Game
I hope more adventure games like this one get published. The story I didn’t care much for but the adventure aspect of it all and the puzzles were fun. The puzzles are intertwined with the story very well and are not too hard but still somewhat obtuse so it’s not too easy either.
CONS: A couple of the puzzles were brute forcible; some of the buttons to play audio were spammable, so the audio would stutter over itself with multiple taps; An occasional typo which didn’t seem intentional; The in-game link to leave a review must be incorrect because the app store fails to direct to the page when that link is used; Only has swipe/manual scrolling; The ending of the story feels unintentionally comedic in a dark way that doesn’t quite match the vibe; You play a character but have no impact on the outcome of the story.
PROS: Seemingly unique. This is the first game like this that I’ve ever run into; Has a few small easter eggs here and there add a kind of humor to the experience; Chapter elements are well synced; Additional media fits the aesthetic; Puzzles very well intertwined with the story and media. None of the cons are bad enough to destroy the overall experience.

Memento, the Game
The good:
The game really shines when it’s making full use of its interface — which is basically a text scroll with hidden Easter eggs. It’s great to see a game play around with a unique format. Worth the price just for the novelty!
Solid voice acting - not always the case with indie games!
Decent and fun puzzles, most of which are on the easier side, but a few of which are downright challenging.
Catchy tune in the “my patience is wearing thin” song!
The bad:
Sorry, folks, but you blatantly ripped off so much from the movie MEMENTO (I mean, c’mon: guy with short-term memory loss who tattoos himself and writes on polaroid photos is trying to find the killer of his dead lover only to discover… ) that the story was neither surprising nor particularly engaging. I kept hoping for a clever twist to show up, but it didn’t. Some scenes and plot elements are literally pulled straight from the film, and the “surprise” ending could be seen coming from a mile away. UNlike the film, though, this “mystery” is never actually definitively solved! This is the big reason it lost a star.
The novelty of the interface wears off about halfway through as the designers seem to run out of ideas for clever ways to utilize it, which is a shame and contributes to a draggy final third of the game.
Unlike the overall game interface, the embedded image interaction is clunky, but I get it: it’s hard to make things like that fully interactive without a whole lot of work. It annoyed me once or twice (especially when longer input sequences were required), but on the whole it wasn’t too bad.
Overall:
Honestly, despite the issues I had with the storyline, I’d buy the game again for its uniqueness, and I think it’s worth the price. However, if you haven’t seen the 5-star movie MEMENTO, watch that instead, and be sure to watch it FIRST so you don’t get spoiled!
Hope to see more from these devs, with a truly original storyline!

Bugs!
Really great and I would love to keep playing but there’s a bug that means I can’t get into the Pipas club even though I know I’ve got the right phrase. I’ve deleted and re downloaded it but still having the same issue, really disappointing
