Players of Another Code R: A Journey into Lost Memories must help Ashley solve a series of clues and puzzles, journeying back into her earliest memories to unlock the past.
The story is played as if in the pages of a mystery novel. Ashley must engage with the other characters to follow up the myriad different trails and clues in order to solve the mystery. Journeying through the story's digital pages, she will encounter people who clearly know more than they are letting on about the events leading up to her mother's death, who she will have to interrogate to glean the information she needs.
N-Europe's Sam Gittins and Steven Penny return to the life of Ashley Mizuki Robbins as she tries to remember why her mother brought her to Lake Juliet thirteen years ago...
The puzzles are sometimes too straightforward and the sheer amount of text in the storytelling can feel a little laboured, but overall it's a mystery well worth immersing yourself in.
Unfortunately, GamesRadar just doesn't see anyone thinking as fondly of the Wii puzzles as they did the DS ones. Bar a canny use of the home button there's nothing close to the cleverness of reflecting the handheld's two screens off one another or closing the lid. They don't even use the synching button. Outrageous. You get four times more words, but only one quarter of the memories. Anyway you look at it, the math is off.
