    Momento was a delightful journey through the milestones of a life (or lives) you can shape however you want. If you’re looking for a game to scratch that Unpacking itch (with added replayability), it’s a definite recommendation from me.

    Overall, Momento is short and sweet and a great way to pass the time. While it isn’t traditionally story-driven, it’s the type of game where narrative threads can be discovered and pieced together. What you will find is a beautiful experience that is unforgettable. The sound design is fantastic, and sometimes specific ambient noises like the warbling of a magpie can instil some lovely nostalgia. There are references and Easter eggs found throughout, which makes it fun when you notice what it’s alluding to. Fat Alien Cat and Nomo Studio outdid themselves with the amazing graphics and the room variations, with only a couple of areas for improvement.

    Momento may not be as momentous or genre-defining as Unpacking, but it is a charming organizational puzzle game.

    But with a warm approach, a bright, cartoonish art style, and a lovely perspective on how items hold memories, and may guide us, it remains a lovely experience with much to say about the winding road of life. Short and sweet, Momento is a game all about the small quirks of living, and the unseen weight behind each and every choice we make.
