Memoranda
About
Memoranda is a game about forgetting and being forgotten!
A point and click adventure game with magic realism elements that tells the story of a young lady who gradually realizes she is forgetting her own name. Is she really losing her memory or is there something else that could explain the strange circumstances?
The story happens in a quiet little town where a few ordinary and strange characters live together. Including a World War II surviving soldier to an elephant taking shelter in a man’s cottage hoping to become a human. There is one thing all these characters have in common: they are losing something. It could be a name, a husband or even someone’s sanity!
The story is inspired by various Haruki Murakami short stories that describe a surreal world full of lonely characters.

Memoranda reviews and comments

This game as a graphical adventure fails because of enigmas not always logical, are more based on history than on logic. So If you do not know the original work from which it is drawn game, you will not understand anything of the various puzzles. Secondly, even the story based on the set of short stories is very confusing for those who are fasting of the original work as I am. The only things you guess in this game are the graphic style and the musics. The rest is just a dreamlike dream without any head nor tail, even the final does not help to know the name of the protagonist and Dovrebeb be the ultimate goal. For this reason I do not recommend it at full price nor with the discount to 5 euros. If you are fasting of the original work do not take it into account. Otherwise it is a good game that is worth the 5 euro discounted no more.

"Memoranda" is a point and click in French version subtitled thanks to the patch of snake eyes and ghylard (thank you again!). The game has a "Japanese" side because of the heroine "Mizuki" that the player embodies but do not expect pure manga juice. Our character, young adult, amnesiac, does not remember his real name and goes in search of his idendity through the city and to meet people who can help him to put her on the track.
If the game, at first, has me a little destabilized because of some puzzles "drawn by the hair" (the box and the teddy bear, among others), the sequel turns out to be a very honorable point/click with decorations of all beauty. Of course, one must love the philosophical and dreamlike side of history, hence some lengths in the discourse. Classic in its gaming, one may regret, however, a "very abrupt" end which, in my opinion, does not close the game in an appropriate way.
I recommend the game, because besides this end that it leaves you a little bit of a pantois, one takes a lot of fun to solve the puzzles, some easy other particularly difficult (have struggled not bad on a few passages).

Being a fan of Haruki Murakami's creativity, I could not ignore this quest. Unfortunately, For a while I decided to wait for a discount-and behold, Memoranda finally passed.
I will Say at once, the quest is quite simple, and I have never had a passage has not caused any difficulties. Can. I am trained on more difficult and brain-bearing quests, but the fact remains-in passage should not be special difficulties.
The atmosphere Here is amazing. The picture Itself seems a bit straight at first, but with every minute you understand. That there was no other image here. The Music complements and brightens the passage. And The voice-over! The Voices of the characters are really pleasing.
As the story progresses, people familiar with Murakami's works can sweep familiar elements. Hey, did anyone remember a poor aunt or a man who goes to the zoo in a downpour? And Such trifles are really pleasing.
So, going back to the topic. Puzzles are simple, though sometimes quite absurd. The story Itself about the search for the lost name, which is quite unusual (and in principle strange, but in fact surrealism and hidden meaning everywhere) Speaking in general, I can confidently say that this game is able to brighten up one or two evenings, but no more. Duration is too short
