Described as an interactive poem, A Memoir Blue is far from what many would consider a typical gaming experience. You won’t find intense combat sequences, there are no elaborate puzzles to rack your brain over, nor is there a significant challenge of any kind.

Instead, the heart of the project is in its story that’s elegantly told in more ways than one. Through charming hand-drawn animations mixed within a range of interactive environments, not only do cinematic moments cast a spotlight on the narrative but so too do the many layers that unravel in each of the finely-crafted stages. While brief and fairly straightforward, A Memoir Blue’s accessible design marks an exceptional debut for a brand new development team looking to make an immediate impact.

A Memoir Blue trailer
Stunning presentation sets the melancholic tone
A Memoir Blue centers around the complex relationship between protagonist Miriam and her mother. Through a number of distinct memories, the game loosely pieces things together without explicitly defining each and every detail along the way.

Miriam is present for the emotional ride just like us during these flashbacks, actively revisiting some of the more notable chapters of her youth. Beyond that, further story details are best kept vague to allow for your own unspoiled journey. Mapping out the timeline of this relationship and coming to understand the game’s many motifs and underlying themes is what keeps you hooked through the relatively short, 90-minute experience.

A Memoir Blue is an incredibly well-realized title that’s often captivating with its visual presentation.

These backdrops serve to contextualize not only the particular memory, but its lasting impact on the surrounding characters.

It’s through this abundance of similarly downtrodden areas that sporadic moments of vibrancy become all the more touching. Every so often, hand-drawn animations come to life, lifting the mood and lighting up any scene they step foot in.

A Memoir Blue is effectively a point-and-click game, allowing you to interact with objects in your immediate vicinity. Whether it’s tearing down posters on a wall to reveal secrets hidden beneath, or neatly arranging furniture to set the scene of a particular memory, the game makes good use of its adopted genre. Each chapter has you morphing your surroundings in completely different ways, keeping the full experience from growing stale if you happen to be along for the ride in a single sitting – which is highly recommended.

Read More: Triangle Strategy review Playing on PlayStation did lead to one minor issue in relation to how the game controls. Using the analog sticks to guide an on-screen cursor mostly worked as intended, but in a few visually cluttered scenes with dozens of objects appearing all at once, the cursor had a tendency to be overly sticky.

Cloisters Interactive’s first outing isn’t necessarily a mind-blowing indie hit that everyone will connect with right away. But it is a tremendous debut from a small dev team experimenting within the medium.
