Memento Mori

Unplayeble
I am not sure if those are bugs or mistakes in the steam version but there are some actions that are crucial for the progress of the game that just dont work.
I looked at walkthroughs after being stuck i the Museum. I just cant do what is needed to go on so the game is not solveble at this point.

This is another game where I wish there was a mixed rating. This "enhanced" version doesn't deserve a positive rating, but the game itself doesn't deserve a negative either.
I got the game around 2014, played it for 1 hour and quit.... 2024 decided to give it and go and try to finish it, and I did.

Memento Mori is a point and click adventure game where choices matter. The game has 6 different endings, but I'm not going to replay it 6 times to see all of them. Once I saw that choices, and 'reactions' to characters mattered I followed a guide to get the best possible ending.

This game is NOT worth 13$, that includes the issues, and the fact it's a 12 year old game. Wait for a big sale.

Memento Mori came out in 2008, so 16 years ago, but this is the "Enhanced" version so it's 12 years old.
Though to be fair the fact it's a 12 year old game and there's only 168 reviews as of me writing this it's obvious this game didn't gain a lot of traction in the first place. It's not a horrible game, but this version is really wonky and had a lot of issues.

I was planning on giving this a negative review but changed my mind after half way through the game.
The game started out really boring I honestly didn't think I was going to finish it, the graphics aren't the best for an "enhanced" version, and the characters movements are really wonky, to the point where it was sometimes broken.


I had a lot of issues playing as Max and him not wanting to walk up or down stairs properly, or the wonky things characters would do when trying to move them around.

There was quite a few times where playing as Max I would click on him to do something, and he would just 'moon walk' in place for a little bit, and I'd have to keep retrying/clicking for him to do something. Like in one scene I was trying to get him to turn on a lamp, he legit ran back and forth for about 30 seconds, then just stopped. So I attempted it again, and he just moon walked for a bit, then went off on the complete opposite side of the lamp and turned it on.

I also had some issues where both characters didn't want to go do what they were supposed to, or puzzles broke so I would have to either leave the scene and come back, or reload to fix it. A specific puzzle with Lara, the puzzle would act like it was 'open' but show as shut, so I would have to exit the puzzle and get back in it. Another 'issue' for something I needed for a different puzzle, I had to exit the screen and go back in so the 'thing that needed to happen.... happened'.
There's a LOT of instances where stupid small things would happen, it got to be annoying, and a couple of instances were game breaking so I would have to reload.

As for the story, I was bored until about half way through the game, then I got kind of excited to see what would happen next. I really liked how they did the ending, and I want to see more, but there's no real reason for me to replay again.
