Forgotten Memories 12+

You did over 300 tweaks and balances etc. but didn’t finish complete controller support? Please update this game one more time for full controller support. I want to be able to just plug my iPad up to my tv and use the controller to access the menus. It’s kind of dumb the button on the controller pauses the game but not a single button brings up either inventory menus at all and I don’t understand why you wouldn’t have added that with this major update. Even not playing on the tv controller support is kind of stupid since if I need to use my inventory or change weapons I still have to use the touch screen to do so, putting the controller down then picking it back up, which doesn’t work so well during a fight.

I give this game 5 stars whole heartedly. Honestly people who are complaining about bad movements or how hard the game is- the point of a game isn't always that it's easy- it's supposed to challenge you. Especially in this game. I love that even though I myself admit it's sometimes hard to get used to things, I love that this game challenges me along with a great story line and a great spooky atmosphere. I also love that it's not all about blood and gore and trying to make things as gruesome as possible. That isn't scary, it's just boring. As a big fan of horror and the entire genre from movies to books to games, I have to say this is one of the best. Definitely worth the money. I really hope that the next edition comes soon, because it leaves you on a total cliffhanger! Great work! There are some minor bugs or annoyances, like sometimes the game freezes, or sometimes it takes forever to get to a save point, but as far as bugs go it's minimal and usually only freezes at points right at the beginning of a new part after you have saved. And every game has flaws. Nothing is perfect! But this game is very close.

Forgotten Memories is a beautiful exercise in classic survival horror. I honestly thought that I had played my last in this vein of gaming years ago but the creators of this dark little gem have really attempted to bring back all of the facets of classic survival horror. It's great knowing that there are people out there still devoted to the genre that got me into video games in the first place! The visuals are sumptuous and drenched in creep factor, sound design is brilliant down to the different types of flooring changing your footsteps, and the story is intriguing albeit a bit heavy handed and ever so slightly cheesy in execution (but let's be real, so were Silent Hill, Resident Evil and the like) Yes, save points are spaced out in a way that creates challenge and uncertainty but that is the point ( only play this game when you have time to devote to it, not on a 5 minute break) Touch controls are much better than I anticipated. Still a bit hit or miss at times but that's entirely the nature of the beast. I think this game is priced well under what it's worth and anybody with an interest in horror should give it a shot.
