- The Art:
The art style is absolutely wonderful, such pleasant color schemes and character designs. Mori's design reflected what kind of a person he was and how rough of a life he had so well, Memento's adorable design conflicting with who he is as a Reaper fits his character so...so well...
- The Music:
where do i start....the dreadful theme when Mori tried to escape, the stage play music, and the final dance theme....the latter finnaly breaking the camels back for me, im still in tears writing this very part...
- The Ending:
when visual novels have open ended endings...ones that end hopeful, thats when i love them the most...i want more of them but i know i cant have more of them, but this ending in particular...what will be of Mori and especially Memento...but all i know is that the Final dance, the Final kiss and the Final walk to nothing felt so so dreadful in a good way? (i dont know im so full of emotion right now)
there was no hopeful open ended finale, its just as Memento told Mori...and i love it
After all his Life Mori felt love from what it felt...and after what seemed like ages, ages of evolution, ages of change Memento felt human, he learnt the joys, he felt guilt, he felt sorrow and most importantly he felt love, a blind love that made him walk into nothing with Mori, im so proud of him- no both of them
- My Final Thoughts
an hour, it took me just an hour to finish this and yet the feels it gave me....i could have never guessed just an hour could make me this devastated, ive played my fair share of emotional visual novels (hell, im still playing them) but this one felt particularly different, i love it
I saw myself in Mori in some way, a man that had a passion for art, a man that couldnt make this passion his main thing...a man that had a dreadful life...when the word "Computer science" dropped off his mouth i just froze, "thats me...my mom said i should do something that could make me live comfortably aswell..." but unlike Mori i have a future....i think
My gut still churns thinking about this game...and how its over, but thats just death isnt it? Its sudden...
Always appreciate the ones with you, ones who are right next to you, pursue the joys of life, ones that wont make you regret your life, death is but an unknown, its sudden, its unfair, illnesses, accidents we cant prevent these, so live your life to the fullest without regrets
A wonderful story with a wonderful premise, with a wonderful lesson acompanied with wonderful art and wonderful writing.
10/10 for this short masterpiece made with passion, Memento Mori.
