• Summary: In the time-honoured Hermitage of St. Petersburg three precious paintings have been substituted by valueless copies. At first it appears to be just a normal art robbery, but Colonel Ostankovic, head of the art robbery department in St. Petersburg, thinks otherwise - he suspects a mysterious secret society behind it. The game Memento Mori refers to the relatively unknown fraternity of the same name. Their prime objective is keeping certain paintings in secret; therefore they stash artworks away for hundreds of years. Colonel Ostankovic knows this and raises an alarm. He assigns the case to Larisa Ivanovna Svetlova, one of his best colleagues. Larisa contacts Maxim Durand as a 'helping hand'. He is a former counterfeiter with numerous, valuable connections in the art scene. In the new adventure game, Memento Mori, two playable protagonists await the player. The player's goal is to solve the secrets of the art robbery, the mysterious secret society and its intrigues. Expand

  1. Memento Mori is a heavily story-driven point'n click game with beautiful graphics and great musical score. The plot twists and turns nicely during the game. Unfortunately the puzzle design isn't very original and most of the puzzles aren't very challenging, although moving the puzzle solving to 3D does make some of the problems seem new and refreshing. The voice acting is occasionally very annoying but you get used to it. Overall Memento Mori is a good purchase for an adventure gamer Both its story and the shocking finale linger on the edge of thoughts for a long time after playing through the game. This is the way to end a game. [Jan 2010]
  2. This game could have been a LOT better. The great graphics and easy controls are no excuse for the poor voice acting and the mediocre plot. The puzzles are fair, but too much on the easy side.
  3. Memento Mori is a plodding adventure that makes the world of art forgeries and ancient mysteries seem dull.
