“Nice fantasy. Point and click adventure. No fighting. Hot spot indicator. Played over 10 hours. Lots of walkthrough help needed, but it was fun.”
“The game has a forest where you need to navigate by the colors of berries, and you walk in circles for half an hour because a red berry differs from a burgundy one only at five o'clock in the evening under certain…”
“Great graphics and interesting story, especially if you play this after Chains of Satinav, since it gives a conclusion to what happens to Nuri.. It does suffer a bit from moon-logic puzzles though. Also there was one…”

“First playthrough review time. The drawings in this game are detailed and full of color. The characters and the moving parts of the scenes look good and match the backgrounds well. However, some areas are so large that the main character looks very small, which might make it…”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Memoria is basically a beautifully illustrated bedtime story that occasionally whacks you over the head with a puzzle just to make sure you’re still awake. The writing is great, the world is rich and the characters have that classic Daedalic energy. A few puzzles feel like they…”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“Memoria is a richly built fantasy adventure that embraces the traditional point-and-click format while telling a story far more layered than most games in the genre.
