Before I Forget is a highly emotive tale about one woman’s struggle with dementia, and a story that everyone should experience. I’ve never experienced anything like Before I Forget, and I strongly urge everyone to play it.
Brief and concise, but being no less affecting for its brevity, Before I Forget is heart-breaking and uplifting in equal measure. The framing of the story induces a genuine sympathy and understanding of what those who suffers such conditions go through, but successfully stops short of crossing the line into patronising schmaltz. I urge all of you to experience it for yourself and make sure you avoid spoilers for maximum effect. I cannot recommend this enough.
Before I Forget on Xbox is an important game, mainly because of its subject matter and how it deals with a condition that can affect us all. It's a story told with compassion and beauty and will certainly be something that sticks with you long after it has concluded.
A sensitive, beautiful and emotional glimpse into what it might be like to live with Alzheimer’s Disease, Before I Forget feels as important as it is excellently-executed. It’s not exactly a ‘game’ in the traditional sense, but it’s an experience that will stick with you and perhaps make you look at the world in a new light. You’ll certainly never take your most treasured memories for granted again, that’s for sure.
“Do not regret, remember.” Despite being too short, Before I Forget reaches its original goal. Thanks to quality dubbing, an emotional soundtrack and risky directing choices, the 3-Fold Games studio “walking simulator” often finds the right tone to address the delicate and rarely discussed subject of memory loss. The only real downside to this beautiful love story lies in the outcome of the game which is quickly predictable and perhaps a little bit too dramatic. This will not tarnish a beautiful experience which, even if it won’t be remembered by all, will certainly shake you to the core.
