Paramnesia

I was actually looking forward to playing Paramnesia, because the artwork seemed really interesting and the videos also gave it a very cool vibe which I wanted to experience myself. Sadly, it was rather confusing and bad experience. I opened the game and clicked "new game", the game started with a cool bird flying in the clouds and dope music, I was ready for the cool story! I got little bit forward and the game crashed. I thought, alright, maybe it was just a one time thing. I opened the game again and it crashed...again. Alright. That was a bad start. I opened the game up again and noticed there was a "continue" button. I clicked that and some weird route map came up on the screen. I clicked on one of the circles and it plopped me in, what I assumed, was the story. I knew it was not the start, because stuff was happening that I was not aware on what it was, I met characters that were not "introduced" and it was all around confusing. I "played" though these scenes that were on the route map about three times, getting different endings, but I still have no idea what is going on and why there is a "new game" button that does nothing, but the "continue" is how you "play" even thou…

I quite like the aesthetic of this game; it addresses some interesting themes, and as a simple visual novel, it tries to do something different by telling the story out of order. Which is also somewhat justified given the topic and themes of the game. However, I can't recommend the game. As there barely is a game there. You can literally "complete" the entire game in about 10 minutes. Some people mention that you can replay it for different endings, but there is really no extra content even if you do so. You are given a few choices in the game that then lead to the "false ending," "incomplete ending," or "true ending." Yet, essentially nothing during the entire game changes from your choices, not even dialogue. You only get to read two extra documents depending on your choices, and nothing else changes. And then you get an extra scene that's about 2 minutes long in the "true ending." That's it. I even took my time, reading everything slowly, rereading many paragraphs due to the poor English translation (which is poor but mostly understandable), experimenting with different choices, went for all 3 "endings," and it still took me less than 30 minutes. On top of that, the entire na…

I loved this game! It was fun, interesting, nice art, good writing, interesting story, good soundtrack, and was short enough to explain everything but still be fun. It's a great little visual novel with meaningful choices that determine one of multiple endings and a true ending. I think it's just the right length to convey the story. Worth it all full price!

Paramnesia is a psychological horror adventure developed by Niebla Games and published by Meridian4 that focuses on atmosphere, mystery, and the fragile nature of memory. Rather than relying on traditional horror mechanics such as combat or constant enemy encounters, the game embraces a slower and more deliberate approach. Players are drawn into a disturbing journey where reality becomes increasingly uncertain, and every discovery raises new questions about the truth behind the protagonist’s experiences. The result is an unsettling adventure that prioritizes tension, observation, and narrative immersion over action. At the heart of the experience is the game's exploration of memory and perception. The story unfolds through environmental clues and subtle narrative details, encouraging players to pay close attention to their surroundings. Locations often appear familiar at first glance, only to reveal strange inconsistencies and unsettling changes as the journey progresses. This constant manipulation of expectations creates an atmosphere of uncertainty that remains effective throughout the game. The narrative rarely provides immediate answers, instead allowing players to piece toget…

[b]"memory damage: 49%"[/b] 🖤🖤🖤 🟩 art style 🔷 interesting mechanic 🔴 story writing [b]vibes:[/b] baffling [b]loops:[/b] click nodes on a map to enter visual novel scenes and unlock new nodes [b]ramblings:[/b] bluntly put, there's nothing here. the art is a little rough but i liked the style, and that's kind of it. the game is like, a barely there outline, not something solid. the vague concept is kind of neat i guess, but a concept isn't enough. it's a handful of short disconnected scenes, any choices immediately end the scene and only really affect the ending. and there's barely any difference between the endings, there's no branching tree or anything like that. there's no real story or characters developed, it's a scattershot of ideas at most. none of this is helped by the fact that the translation is kind of poor and stilted. there was so little substance here that after getting all three endings i had to doublecheck to make sure that that was actually it. yup, that was it.
