✦ AI summary

Selective Memory is praised by players for its intriguing concept of exploring distorted memories with attention to detail, atmospheric visuals, and ambient music that create an immersive investigative experience. However, the game is significantly hampered by extremely slow mouse sensitivity that frustrates players during camera controls, and some players report confusion about objectives and potential achievement bugs that detract from the experience. Most reviewers suggest the game has real potential but would be much more enjoyable once the mouse sensitivity issue is addressed.

game was interesting the visual and symbolism was cool really liked the ambient music. my only complain is you can not change the mouse sensitivity. I don't know it might be me but i did not get any achievement maybe it's broken i do not know.

Interesting game, it has a lot of potential in my opinion. I'm not going to lie, I felt lost and wasn't sure what I was looking for. Maybe I rushed the game, maybe I didn't look into things deeply... I wish I could adjust the sensitivity, it felt VERYY slow while turning my camera on mouse + keyboard I really like the visuals though :)

Selective Memory is a very different kind of game, and I liked how quickly it made me curious about what I was actually seeing. Instead of giving me a straightforward story, it has me reliving the same memories through different emotional versions of the world. I found that concept surprisingly effective because the environment itself becomes part of the mystery. The main gameplay is focused on exploring these distorted memories and comparing what changes between them. I have to pay attention to small details, notice things that were not there before and slowly piece together the meaning behind each version. I enjoyed that because the game rewards observation rather than quick reactions. It made me feel like I was investigating my own memories rather than simply walking through a sequence of scenes. The loop structure works especially well because each variation gives me new information. Something that seems ordinary in one version can become disturbing in another, and those differences gradually build a clearer picture of what is happening. I liked the way the game trusts me to make connections instead of explaining every detail immediately. The sound design is another strong p…

It seems like it's trying to be an interactive story, but the very slow turning with the mouse (and invisible walls) really breaks any immersion into it. When it takes a good 3 seconds to turn 90 degrees, it stops being interesting and just becomes frustrating.

this was a very decent game, im very interested in the story and i love the different changes that happen when you loop, the only problem with it is that the mouse sensitivity is so slow. once the sensitivity is fixed id totally recommend this to my friends
