    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Forget Me Not" is well-crafted, featuring four protagonists whose perspectives intertwine to create a rich narrative centered around a phantom thief in the fictional city of Twinbells. While it balances themes of personal growth, healing, and lighthearted comedy, the romance subplot is subtle and may not satisfy those seeking a strong romantic focus. Overall, the game is praised for its engaging characters and emotional depth, though some reviewers noted a lack of balance between the main plot and romantic elements.

    • “I really enjoyed each of the four protagonists' points of view and how they all connect together to paint a full picture of the story of the phantom thief, Forget Me Not.”
    • “The story is very well written, featuring both silly moments and hard-hitting emotional scenes.”
    • “Every character in the ensemble cast offers a fun new angle to the story, while contributing to the overarching narrative about the phantom thief of Twinbells and the relationship of the main couple, who are incredibly cute and whom I want to see thrive.”
    • “Even though a few choices are presented, they do not affect the direction of the story whatsoever.”
    • “The second half, while it's not bad on its own and is still interesting if the 'phantom thief' theme is what you are mainly interested in, completely forgets about the romantic part, as you get the POV of other characters and some backstory.”
    • “Personally, I consider it a missed opportunity, because if the writing had managed to achieve a better balance with the romantic part (and a better ending), it could have been a great visual novel.”

    Reviewers appreciate the variety of tracks in the game's soundtrack but suggest that more background music is needed during silent moments, particularly in slice-of-life scenes, as the current ambient noise can feel sparse.
