We’ve talked about Amnesia: Memories quite a bit over the last few weeks. Can you blame us, though? It’s a pretty great visual novel. Especially after you’ve managed to piece together what’s going on within the game.
That’s not what this is about.

Amnesia: Memories is the sort of otome game that might inspire skepticism. Part of the fun of a dating sim is the thrill of the hunt. Finding which bachelor most appeals to you, learning about him as you (virtually) fall in love and finally becoming his one and only as the ultimate reward.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is coming back! In 2020, Nintendo is bringing its collaboration with Atlus to the Switch.
