Our Expert Score

92/100

A Memoir Blue is a stunning 'interactive poem' that trades high scores for high emotions. Developed by Cloisters Interactive, it tells a wordless story about the relationship between a superstar athlete and her mother, utilizing a gorgeous blend of 3D environments and hand-drawn 2D animation.

The gameplay is light, focusing on environmental puzzles and tactile interactions that serve as metaphors for memory. You might find yourself scrubbing a window to reveal a childhood home or turning a radio dial to tune into a forgotten feeling. It’s short—completable in about an hour—but its impact lingers long after the credits roll. It is a poignant, artistic achievement that demonstrates the power of games as a storytelling medium.
