    The gameplay of the game is widely criticized for being frustrating and poorly designed, with mechanics that feel random and unintuitive, leading to tedious and disorienting experiences. While the unique "rememory" mechanic offers an interesting concept, it often results in chaotic platforming and vague objectives that detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite its beautiful visuals and intriguing atmosphere, many players found the gameplay lacking, making it difficult to recommend for those seeking a satisfying gaming experience.

    • “It feels like this game was going for a dreamy and intangible approach to the gameplay, where the mechanics are directly tied in with your movement.”
    • “It's a solid exploration/puzzle game that goes for a dreamlike feel and nails it really well with the forgetting mechanic, doing a great job of mimicking how things in dreams can change and move just because you look away from them for a moment.”
    • “A few of the more platforming levels are rough around the edges, as you'll often need to forget the area around you multiple times until the platforms end up in locations you can actually jump to, but the more puzzle-oriented levels are where the game really shines, with a number of puzzles making very clever use of the forgetting mechanics.”
    • “No direction, tedious gameplay, disorienting and difficult to parse visuals that made me nauseous.”
    • “Despite being compared to and tagged as a walking simulator, Rememoried is actually a confused puzzle platformer, where you spend half your time stuck on levels whose solution doesn’t make a lick of sense (because surrealism!) and the other half on drawn out, poorly-designed platforming levels where the camera, the jumping mechanics and the hypercontrasted graphics all conspire to make you fall to your death for the umpteenth time in a row.”
    • “The game becomes really frustrating as it goes on, and repeating the same game mechanics just makes it worse.”
  • graphics79 mentions

    The graphics of the game are frequently praised for their beautiful and unique aesthetic, often described as surreal and captivating, which enhances the overall atmosphere. However, many players also note that the visuals can be disorienting and overwhelming, leading to gameplay frustrations due to poor depth perception and confusing design choices. While the art style is a highlight, it is often overshadowed by gameplay issues, leaving some players feeling that the graphics alone do not compensate for the lack of coherent gameplay.

    • “The art style is very beautiful.”
    • “Beautiful and unique graphics, and incredible concept and atmosphere - but I'm afraid the frustrating gameplay overwhelmed them all for me.”
    • “Awesome visuals and mechanics.”
    • “The graphics abuse light or cheap bloom effects.”
    • “The narration is gag-worthy, the gameplay directionless and pointless, and the graphics are so overwhelmingly sparkly they practically assault you.”
    • “I was unable to see anything but purple for a world map unless I was playing in 1024x768 with low quality, and even then there was an issue with the graphics preventing me from accurately moving within the world (looked like I was jumping 'down', and had a horizontally-mirrored overlay of certain elements within the world, neither of which looked intentional by the developer).”
  • music45 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its beauty and ability to enhance the immersive experience, with many reviewers highlighting the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that complements the surreal visuals. While some found the music to be occasionally repetitive or mismatched with the game's tone, the overall consensus is that the soundtrack significantly contributes to the game's calming and dreamlike atmosphere. Players appreciate how the music engages them on a subconscious level, making the exploration feel unique and captivating.

    • “Gorgeous dreamlike indie game, with beautiful music and calming atmosphere.”
    • “Everything from the surreal atmosphere to the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack is just superb.”
    • “You are led into an exploration adventure inside an illogical, yet magical world and the atmosphere, mixed with the incredibly good music, engages the player on a subconscious level.”
    • “The 'eerie' piano music combined with the soap opera voice acting was too much.”
    • “Add some annoying music that loops forever and you get the most stressful game that I have ever played.”
    • “Likewise, both the soundtrack and visuals help immerse you in the dream-world, though I will say that the random glitchy camera effects were a bit off-putting.”
  • atmosphere22 mentions

    • “Surreal atmosphere, things change when you are not looking at them, great graphics.”
  • story20 mentions

    The story in Rememoried is described as confusing and often pretentious, with many players feeling it lacks clarity and depth. While some appreciate its existential themes, others find it difficult to engage with due to its nonsensical voiceovers and random quests, leading to frustration rather than excitement.

    • “Rememoried seems to be true woke (as opposed to some of the fake woke sorts of personal emotional quest games out there).”
    • “But maybe the point of the game is the story!”
    • “If there was a story, it was so far into existential 2deep4u territory that it completely flew over my head.”
    • “No story, no excitement, and no fun, so I wouldn't play it to its end.”
    • “I'm not sure if there's meant to be a story or message we are supposed to follow, but the voice-over phrases came across as nonsensical and therefore pretentious rather than genuinely deep.”
    • “If there was a story, it was so far into existential '2deep4u' territory that it completely flew over my head.”
