"The Amnesia game franchise has been a popular series since its first release in Japan in 2011 for the PlayStation Portable. The initial game was so well received that a fan disc called Amnesia Later was released in 2012, followed by a sequel titled Amnesia Crowd in 2013. Although the game was making waves in Japan, its presence in the EU and NA stayed well below the radar until the Amnesia anime release in 2013. Finally, on August 26 (25 for NA), 2015, the game reached its Western audience in the form of Amnesia: Memories, a visual novel available for both the PS Vita and the PC via Steam." - Rice Digital
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is running a new game sale that adds several new AAA and recently released games across multiple gaming platforms right now, featuring a variety of games, including action-adventure, RPG, simulation, and more, for a limited time!
New releases of Amnesia: Memories and the spin-off collection Later X Crowd are now on Switch. Is it worth picking up these two otome games?
WTMG's Leo Faria: "There are great otome titles out there where you’re treated like a princess from start to finish. Birushana may have been a bit hardcore at times (with some violent roots of their own), but the heroine stood on her own two feet and had so much more to her than just a Mary Sue with celestial leanings. Cupid Parasite had so much heart and humor I could forgive the way a goddess was occasionally mistreated by her bevy of boys. I think Amnesia: Memories is just a tad cold, a bit too mean, and left me feeling restless and unresolved. It hits the notes, but it hits them in the wrong key. A classic, certainly, and I’m glad Switch owners have the option to play it. I just don’t know if it’s one I’d pick up if given the choice."
