ESDigital Games and Magic Hazard have announced the official release date for Memory Lost, a top-down shooter set in a dystopian metropolis. The game will be available on March 6, 2025, for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with console versions for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch to follow later.
The core mechanic of the game is based on taking over the consciousness of enemies, allowing you to use their abilities to your advantage. With limited resources, such as only one clip of ammo and no first-aid kits, you will have to rely on this ability to survive and fulfill missions.
Memory Lost offers a unique combination of action, strategy, and storytelling. The game features 60 different enemies, each with their special abilities that you can take over and use to influence the outcome of battles. Five skill trees allow for infinite configurations, giving you the opportunity to experiment and find the playstyle that suits you best.
The story is driven by the Neural Network, the main character of the game, who evolves by taking over the enemies’ memories. These memories shape the Neural Network’s personality and unlock new abilities within the Mind-Map hub. The game also introduces a karma system, where your decisions, whether you kill for the greater good or show mercy, affect the story and lead to one of three possible endings.
