About Memento Mori
Story:
Colonel Ostankovich, the commander of a special police department in St Petersburg, and the man who put his honesty at stake by swearing that under his command not an item will get lost in the Hermitage, receives a report of a short alarm failure in the Hermitage. He suspects that something happened. To avoid losing his reputation, he contacts Maxim Durand through Larisa Svetlova. Due to his past, Maxim is at his disposal and has to help him.
In the search for the stolen paintings Max and Lara (mostly on their own) visit the Hermitage, an old library, the Interpol's headquarters in Lyon, the residence in Scotland and further locations. They interrogate the suspects, search for data, break codes and discover forgeries. All their journeys finally lead Max, accompanied by his brother, to the Finnish cloister. Strange deaths, secret signs and increasingly weird behaviour of Max's brother André and of those around him force Max to the very edge of sanity.
Max:
Main hero; this character is controlled by the player. A young French professor who lectures on the history of art. In order to get money for his wife's surgery he had to start a criminal career - he forged and sold several paintings of the old masters.
Lara:
The second controllable character is more of a supporting character. It is a young Russian woman who reached the rank of captain in Russian militia. Thanks to her achievements she was later transferred to Lyon in France where she's the Russian representative at Interpol's headquarters. Her task is to promote Russian interests in the department of art theft.

Boring and confusing.1 found this helpful
Well for playing this for 13 hours-ish on the steam deck actually felt like I was actually playing it for 6 to 7-ish hours instead to me, the other half of the hours is because I had to go back and forth between figuring out something myself in the game first and then maybe considering looking at somebody else's game walkthrough to figure out what to do next, because either something was overlooked or something would blend in the game to find that I didn't see it or think about what to do next sometimes to continue on. Other than that, I do think this is a decent, nice, 3D, point/click game with the story. There was also one thing I did notice that "SMPTE color bars" would flashbang my vision when there was supposed to be a cutscene to watch everytime that would not load at all to watch on the steam deck for me to know other bits of the story that I didn't know about until I found out from somebody else's playthrough instead for help in the game. Also also, I had to turn down the volume when I paused the game to do something because the random music and mumbling would get annoying to listen to for a while. Other than that this is a okay game.1 found this helpful
Memento Mori is a story-driven point-and-click adventure developed and published by Bohemia Interactive. Built around themes of art, history, religion, and mortality, the game delivers a thoughtful mystery that places narrative and investigation above action. Drawing inspiration from classic adventure titles, it invites players into a world of hidden agendas, stolen masterpieces, and secrets buried beneath centuries of history. While its presentation reflects the era in which it was created, the strength of its storytelling allows it to remain an engaging experience for fans of cerebral adventures. The narrative begins with a puzzling crime connected to one of the world's most famous museums, setting off an international investigation that quickly becomes more complicated than it initially appears. Players alternate between different protagonists, each bringing a unique perspective to the unfolding mystery. This approach keeps the story fresh as new evidence, suspects, and revelations emerge. What starts as a straightforward criminal investigation gradually transforms into a larger conspiracy involving ancient symbolism, secret organizations, and philosophical questions about life…

Good ending!! A really good game.
Two times in less than an hour I was just sitting there with nothing happening. One time it fixed itself, another was me just staring at max standing there at the start of act 2 and that did not fix itself. This game may have a good story, idk, but from my experience it will stall A LOT. I'm not really into point and click games anyways, so the game being has unresponsive as it is, I'll pass.
