A short autobiography. This could be a neighbor. An acquaintance. Anyone you know. And this game is a simple reminder that they are.1 found this helpful
I didn't understand everything, specially Chapter 3, but it made me cry like a baby nonetheless. I love Hotel Dusk and its sequel and they left a profound impact in me that has lasted through the years. Thank you for making such a beautiful game.1 found this helpful
real game for manly man
I love the art in this. A very relatable story about going through life yearning for connection and the need to be true to your passions. It reminded me of how important the joy oreation actually is to me. I am someone who used to draw a lot in my youth, but put it aside as I tried to become a serious adult. However, that love for art never left, and quitting it created a big hole in my life that made it difficult to connect with other people. Now that I am drawing again I find it much easier to be true to myself and the people around me. I think this game helped me put that into perspective.
Not much you can say about it, it's just a nice little experience. I really like Taisuke Kanasaki's art, and wanted to give the game another positive review.
The moment I saw this art style and heard that Taisuke Kanasaki was the director for this experience, I bought it. Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory/Another Code left a profound mark, and I'm so happy to be able to support his art style in 2026. Legacy aside, the game is beautiful and made me cry. It may be short, but it is well worth the price for the artistry. The only thing I wish were different was that the game were more interactive. Thank you Arc System Works for giving us another Taisuke Kanasaki experience!
