I had my little rock baby earlier tonight, and within a few hours I felt like myself again.

Just in time to play a game, and review it before bed, 15 minutes and I'm away.

The best laid plans of mice and women and all of that...

Unmemory is a murder mystery puzzle game, via a novel, mashed up with Christopher Nolan's "Memento", and a multimedia demo CD from the mid-1990's, packaged up like a tar baby for the unwary #AuDHD gamer.

Last night's game kept me distracted. Tonight, on the other hand, I was hyperfocused as this game scratches multiple itches simultaneously. Lots of small details to take notice of; pieces to put together, patterns to match.

As the main character (gender unclear), you wake up with amnesia, covered in blood, and find yourself trying to solve the murder of the woman in the bathtub. Who is she? Am I responsible? What is going on??

I've tried not to spoil the game with any details of the storyline in the review, because it's just downright enjoyable to learn what's happening as you go, and start finding order within the chaos.

This is genuinely the kind of game that suits the term "multimedia", and it's not as an insult.

Unmemory is:

5: Excellent
