    A Memoir Blue is a sort of interactive poem about a champion swimmer with a story that touches your heart.

    A Memoir Blue is an interesting case study for where the future of indie games may be heading within the next 5 years. While both visually striking with a seemingly simple narrative core, A Memoir Blue is able to deliver an experience that evokes emotional sympathy and combines its game concepts directly with its themes of family and estrangement. Despite being a short experience with limited opportunities for interesting gameplay scenarios, I sense this is only the beginning of an exciting style of video games.

    An attractive title with the combination of surreal 3D scene and beautiful 2D artwork. The story created by Shelly Chen is somewhat unclear. And this vague story makes it easier for players to resonate their own experience. However, the game can leave much to be desired for those who would like to enjoy a completed story.

    A Memoir Blue isn’t prime Annapurna Interactive: we liked, but didn’t fall in love. But a mixed-media take on the love between a mother and daughter is wholly endearing, and there isn’t a barb or rough edge in its simplistic gameplay.

    Although this short adventure doesn't have much in terms of gameplay and its story is predictable, A Memoir Blue does a good job of portraying the life of a young athlete in the spotlight while showing how she got there and how she deals with her personal struggles.

    Such an emotional journey, short but left me in tears at the end. No game has ever touched my heart and soul as much as this one did, finished it in 1,5 hours but well worth it! I can’t imagine how it would be for me to lose my mother. Thank you for reminding me how much I love my mom!     … Expand

There isn't a single word spoken during the game, but you still feel every emotion. A Memoir Blue is about a mother and her daughter's relationship and how they drifted apart. I liked how the game approached this topic in a respectful manner because most of the time our parents have no choice in what happens to us and they try their hardest to do what they think is best for us, but as children, sometimes all we need is for them to be with us. Also, the game had some very good original songs and I was very impressed by them. Finally, this game is similar to Pome in that it is short yet has a significant impact.… Expand

    A sweet story and a modestly delicate adventure that's too short and eventless to leave a lasting impression.

    Under an hour to finish, was ok and decently made and presented, needed a little more gameplay elements.

It's hard to even call it a walking simulator. This is in fact a very weak installation, which in fact is a very short 2D-3D cartoon without puzzles, which can be clicked on in an hour.

    If there was a good plot, I would forgive her the almost complete lack of gameplay, but the plot here is very mundane, banal, boring, and very badly presented (no spoilers, but the main character is a very vile egoist) I do not recommend it. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand
