   Such an emotional journey, short but left me in tears at the end. No game has ever touched my heart and soul as much as this one did, finished it in 1,5 hours but well worth it! I can’t imagine how it would be for me to lose my mother. Thank you for reminding me how much I love my mom! … Expand

   Apesar de ser um jogo simples e curtinho, tem uma história bem bonitinha e uma trilha sonora muito boa.

   AN INTERACTIVE IMMERSION
   
   BEFORE WE BEGIN: A Memoir Blue is a game developed by Cloisters Interactive in 2022. It has been called anAN INTERACTIVE IMMERSION
   
   BEFORE WE BEGIN:
   A Memoir Blue is a game developed by Cloisters Interactive in 2022. It has been called an interactive poem by the developers themselves, being a point-and-click puzzle. The game has been completed and the platinum trophy has been achieved on Xbox Series X.
   
   DIVING IN:
   In typical style of the games advertised by Annapurna, A Memoir Blue starts immediately with a game menu absent of any explanation, making the player understand the game style from the very first moments. In fact, the menu reports exactly the game mechanics that we will later find again. The plot is very simple and unfolds in its entirety, chronicling the relationship between mother and daughter of a young champion swimmer.
   
   FIRST SWIM:
   The gameplay is based for most of the game on dragging objects, rotating them or placing them in different places so as to complete puzzles, often easily understood and not at all puzzling. The game is much more plot-based than gameplay-based, providing much less complex puzzles than other typical Annapurna games.
   
   VIEW IS DISTORTED BY WATER:
   Aesthetically, A Memoir Blue turns out to be one of those untouchable titles with its own style. Passing over this seal, however, the graphics often do not come across as extremely distinctive or interesting, and some of the 3D models are rather unpleasant and lacking in detail. The animations and physics of some interacting objects, on the other hand, turn out to be very accurate and smooth.
   
   ROARING WAVES:
   Since there is no voice acting, this title relies almost purely on the soundtrack, which can transform some scenes, making them very touching.
   
   BUT WHY 6?
   
   CONS:
   While being an extremely fast-paced and enjoyable game, A Memoir Blue lowers the standard of typical Annapurna games with far too simple gameplay, relying on extremely self-explanatory puzzles. Most of them can be completed in seconds, simply moving a few objects to obvious places or by dragging objects off the screen. The plot itself, though touching, touches on a subject already seen and revised in a thousand facets, adding nothing exceptional other than the relationship with the sea.
   
   PROS:
   Obviously the authorial touch of the way the story is told is always enjoyable. In addition, the speed and fluidity of the game still makes it a pleasant and interesting One Shot adventure.

   5/10 - Średnia
   (po graniu 1h i ukończeniu gry)
   O życiu wspomnieniami, tęsknocie, samotności, aspołeczności, depresji i braku sensu w życiu.
   
   Może wzruszyć, choć mnie nieco nudziła.
   Mało intensywne doznania.
   Momentami gra wydaje się zbyt osobista dla twórcy, a za mało uniwersalna dla innych odbiorców.
   
   To bardziej animacja, czasem przerywana pierdołami do kliknięcia/przesunięcia myszką, niż gra.
   Narracja praktycznie tylko wizualna - interakcja jest symboliczna, a w grze nie jest wypowiadane ani jedno słów.
   
   Gameplay dziwaczny, bardzo ubogi.
   Aktywujemy myszką pojedyncze rzeczy i głównie oglądamy to, co się samo dzieje na ekranie - nie kierujemy postacią ani nic w tym stylu.
   
   Graficznie to, co nienarysowane, czyli prawie wszystko, jest brzydkie niczym w grze sprzed wielu lat.… Expand

   A game should tell it story with interaction, that, apart from the script, the key for a good game. This game forgot that.
