Memoria Altera

Some of the text goes so fast that theres no time to read them. Got softlocked into one puzzle and gave up.

I liked this game a lot! I think my favorite part was the graphic design; the hand-drawn look and the bright white memory sequences work really well to create a creepy and unnerving atmosphere. The other really strong aspect is the story, which is a really dark (but interesting) concept to think about. I'd love to see it expanded on further. While the atmospheric music works well, I think the game could benefit from more sound effects. A lot of it felt weirdly quiet, and the lack of visual or audible feedback when interacting with some puzzle elements confused me a few times. I always think that the hardest part of puzzle games should be figuring out what the solution to the puzzle is, not figuring out how to interact with the puzzle in the first place. The game is also fairly short, with a playthrough taking about 30 minutes (I played it twice to get both endings). I don't think that's an issue, though, especially since you're getting the game for free. Overall, Memoria Altera is a strong sci-fi puzzle game that's definitely worth half an hour of your time. P.S. I don't usually write reviews, but since I know a couple of the developers (hi from the library!), I thought I'd write …

Memoria Altera is a short atmospheric puzzle adventure that I liked mainly because of how quickly it creates a sense of mystery. I wake up in a dark futuristic laboratory with no memory of who I am or why I am there, and I have to explore the facility alongside another amnesiac named Lenny. I enjoyed that setup because every room feels like another small piece of information about what happened before the game began. The gameplay is centered around exploration and puzzles. I move through the laboratory, interact with objects and solve problems to unlock more areas. I liked the feeling of gradually opening up the facility because progression is tied directly to uncovering information. Instead of simply collecting keys, I am constantly wondering what the next room might tell me about the characters. Lenny is also an important part of the experience. Having another confused character alongside me gives the story a little more personality than if I were simply walking through an empty laboratory. I enjoyed the dialogue because it gives me more context while still leaving plenty of questions unanswered. The atmosphere is easily one of the strongest parts. The dark futuristic setting …

Interesting game, some hard puzzles but not too hard. The text goes by a bit fast so did play it more than once to get the text or try to. Interesting story. Not a very long game either. Over all for a free game I would say it is good.
