    Fun if you can find it for $5. Takes about an hour on the first playthrough and it has "new game +" to go for achievements. Much respect to the one-man studio for putting together a good looking game. Gameplay movement seemed slow considering the pace of the action and it got frustrating at times. The "story" was a bit weak as well. Overall I didn't hate it but I played it mostly out ofFun if you can find it for $5.

Overall I didn't hate it but I played it mostly out of curiosity as I had heard interesting things about it. Good concept. Doesn't deserve a '10' by any metric, but also shouldn't be a '0'. So there you go. Good distraction game if you're taking a break from something else.… Expand

    Gráficos muito bons porém é um jogo muito curto. Seria interessante que alguma empresa grande investisse nesse jogo.

    At the end of the day, Bright Memory is a bit of a tough one to score. I went in not knowing much of anything about it, and would be lying if I said that I didn’t end up having some fun with it despite its faults. Still, regardless of how impressed I am by the fact that only one man developed this thing, there’s not a lot to it that stands out. It’s dated, it’s buggy and it’s beyond short. Still, it can be pretty fun if you temper your expectations and understand that you’re not going to get a lot for your money.

    Bright Memory looks fantastic and the action is strong, but there’s just not enough actual game here to recommend it. As interested I am in seeing a full-length version, I can’t say this taste is worth the price when all it has to offer is six rooms and a couple of hallways’ worth of content.

    It's hard to actually review Bright Memory, as it's not a game you can easily recommend, even for its relatively small price. But what we can definitely rate is a passion the developer has put into this project, while trying to give a new life to a slowly withering genre. We can only wish luck to the FYQD studio with their next game, which we will judge accordingly.
