    I don't care much for long stories or visual novels but this game was just short enough to keep me entertained. I bring this up because this game isn't a typical RPG, but moreso a story RPG with very little variation and exploration and no action gameplay, similar to that of a visual novel. Had it been longer and deeper, it might have had too much going on for my taste, but the charactersI don't care much for long stories or visual novels but this game was just short enough to keep me entertained.

    So it was a nice break to play inbetween my typical action RPGs or longer games. Definetly a good change in pace and I'm glad I played it. The game did crash once for me though.    … Expand

    Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a unique journey into an interesting world. There’s a lot to uncover and enjoy as you explore, with neat retro graphics and soundtrack. This is one to check out, although a glitch (which is hopefully now patched) does mar things slightly—be sure to save regularly.

    All in all, we loved Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories for taking us back to our roots and reminding us of simpler times when games were much more limited and required a unique type of creativity and imagination in their nostalgic design and witty storytelling. Short but sweet, if you're looking for a well-written little adventure that walks a dark path, you'll enjoy this evocative, melon-choly journey.

    Melon Journey has charm to burn, with interesting, odd characters to interact with and a well-realized setting to explore. The writing is sharp and the soundtrack is great, both of which help draw you into the story. The actual plot leaves a bit to be desired, and it really doesn’t do enough to bring players new to the world up to speed. Normally I would find myself recommending it anyway, but at the time of this review the game is incredibly crash-happy. There’s something worth experiencing here, but you’ll want to wait for a few updates before diving in because at the moment it’s really hard to deal with.
