Some time ago, I was looking for visual novels that might be complete. I came across this one a while back, and a few weeks ago I read it, and I loved it. The music, the story, and the characters completely captivated me, and I have to thank the entire team for delivering such a fascinating novel. I truly enjoyed it.
I'm Mexican, and while I still lack experience with the English language, I was still able to enjoy it, at my own pace, of course.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, despite that, I wanted to ask if there might be an opportunity for me to officially translate this novel into Spanish? My intention is to allow people from Latin America or other Spanish-speaking regions to enjoy a story like this, whether they can understand English or not.
There's no words to express how much I loved this game. The history, art, music, all was perfect.
When I saw the promotional images my expectations with the game go so high that I was scared if the game couldn't surpass my expectations, but boy, I was wrong. From the start to the end I couldn't unglue my eyes to the screen.
Mori it's a great protagonist. I really loved to see his live. It's great to see a protagonist with a history and personality so well made as him, and being at the same time so reliable.
And Memento. I'd be lying I'd I say that I've nave fall so hard in love with some character so fast. His design was what draw me to play this, and he didn't disappointed. The relationship between both of them is so well made and cozy and the existential crisis was very interesting and enrichment to read. Isn't an exaggeration say that Memento became easily one of my top 3 favorite character ever.
And a especial mention yo Estella. Even though we didn't saw her but her silluete, she's easily a better character tham most of other FVN characters. Getting in term that we won't see anything more of Mori and Memento, I wish to see a story of her getting a close with her las discussion with Mori (maybe with the she-reaper that Memento mentioned?)
Anyways, I'm so grateful for have seen this story, this is, without any exaggeration, my favorite visual novel.
Very very nice. Reminds me of the Memento Mori thing that Markiplier and Ethan created with their one year YouTube channel. I never got to watch everything because of... life. It's kind of symbolic in that, you don't know what you lost until you lose it. I regret not watching more anywho, I digress.
(⚠️Spoiler ahead⚠️)
This FVN is beautiful with a bittersweet ending. It leaves you (at least it did with me) with a deep sorrow, reminding you that everything will come to an end eventually. But, of course life is meant to be lived through, so don't let this stop you from enjoying it because, life h
I really appreciate the writing a lot, I appreciate the art and how unique it is. I think a lot of people struggle with the idea that everything, our thoughts, feelings, connections, just ends one day. It’s unsettling, even unfair. But maybe the focus shouldn’t be on the end itself. Maybe it’s about what we do before that end.
You, reading this right now, exist now. You’re here, feeling, loving, creating. That means something. It matters. If death is inevitable, then doesn’t that make life, every moment, every choice, even more valuable?
You don’t have to be okay with it. It’s okay to fear it, question it, even rage against it like Mori did. But maybe, instead of fixating on the end, you can focus on making the time you do have into something meaningful, whether that’s through love, art, or just the quiet beauty of being here, right now. Look how Mori helped (in my eyes) Memento feel those new emotions, despite our inevitable time in oblivion, Mori managed to make a difference.
Oh yeah, don't think I didn't notice the "Memento Mori" reference hehe, that's only cuz of Markiplier and Ethan. But the moment their names came up, I was like "hold up" haha. It was perfect guys.
Thank you for making this and for reminding those of us who needed it, that life should be cherished, every passing minute of it. Even if it's hard to at times. It's a great message and if there really is a dog reaper out there, just you wait... for the loads of belly rubs you'll get for staying positive for everyone❤️
I read this in about an hour, and I liked it a lot. But it took my brain half an hour for the story to really hit me. I feel stupid while typing this but I can't help but shake a bit and be quite misty-eyed. This was beautiful
I had to take a break halfway through because I started to cry so hard that my eyes were getting swollen aaaa. This VN means so much to me, genuinely. Death is such a scary thing, even more so because it can come any time in your life regardless of if you are ready for it. This VN gave me a little bit of hope that it won't be so bad when it's my time. It gave me hope that when I die, death might cry for me too. <3
Truly the most breath - taking story i have ever read, It reached deep inside me and struck a chord i have havent felt in so many years, thank you, from all that is me, Team Lycoris!
My feelings are much too volatile to write an extensive review after playing this, but what I can say is one of the best visual novels I have ever read in my entire life, massive props to the team behind this masterpiece.
I don't even know where to begin with this, I started playing this game at like 1 am and I couldn't stop because I was too engrossed into the story (I stayed up pretty much the whole night) First thing I gotta say is that the music is heavenly, absolutely love it, (is there an ost I can find?) second I loved every second of the story. It had a very great way of telling it and building the characters so you could feel the story and love them, I loved it so much I was tearing up when it ended, and speaking of that ending...I don't know what to say other than. I loved it, All of it. Thank you for making this.
This might aswell be one of my favorite visual novels ever made, all tho im not good at making well written Reviews for visual novels and this'll be the first one ever, i dont wanna keep the thoughts to myself

The Art:
The art style is absolutely wonderful, such pleasant color schemes and character designs. Mori's design reflected what kind of a person he was and how rough of a life he had so well, Memento's adorable design conflicting with who he is as a Reaper fits his character so...so well...
The Music:
where do i start....the dreadful theme when Mori tried to escape, the stage play music, and the final dance theme....the latter finnaly breaking the camels back for me, im still in tears writing this very part...
The Ending:
when visual novels have open ended endings...ones that end hopeful, thats when i love them the most...i want more of them but i know i cant have more of them, but this ending in particular...what will be of Mori and especially Memento...but all i know is that the Final dance, the Final kiss and the Final walk to nothing felt so so dreadful in a good way? (i dont know im so full of emotion right now)
there was no hopeful open ended finale, its just as Memento told Mori...and i love it
After all his Life Mori felt love from what it felt...and after what seemed like ages, ages of evolution, ages of change Memento felt human, he learnt the joys, he felt guilt, he felt sorrow and most importantly he felt love, a blind love that made him walk into nothing with Mori, im so proud of him- no both of them
My Final Thoughts
an hour, it took me just an hour to finish this and yet the feels it gave me....i could have never guessed just an hour could make me this devastated, ive played my fair share of emotional visual novels (hell, im still playing them) but this one felt particularly different, i love it
I saw myself in Mori in some way, a man that had a passion for art, a man that couldnt make this passion his main thing...a man that had a dreadful life...when the word "Computer science" dropped off his mouth i just froze, "thats me...my mom said i should do something that could make me live comfortably aswell..." but unlike Mori i have a future....i think
My gut still churns thinking about this game...and how its over, but thats just death isnt it? Its sudden...
Always appreciate the ones with you, ones who are right next to you, pursue the joys of life, ones that wont make you regret your life, death is but an unknown, its sudden, its unfair, illnesses, accidents we cant prevent these, so live your life to the fullest without regrets
A wonderful story with a wonderful premise, with a wonderful lesson acompanied with wonderful art and wonderful writing.
10/10 for this short masterpiece made with passion, Memento Mori.
Well, it's not hard to see why, really. Death isn't a easy subject and I'm sure it got people thinking about their loved ones and such. Tbh, I only got sad when Memento cried lol.
Really loved the ending. Didn't think I'd end up crying but here I am, tears in my eyes. Truly can't express how incredible of an experience this was. Kudos!
Truly a brilliant short story. You all captured so much in such a small time frame, and in fact made that time-frame elevate the story. An incredible amount love and effort went into this, and it's very clear.
Thank you all for creating this experience, I hope to see more from you all!
There is a quote I think is oddly fitting for this game: "His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die."- Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy), I feel although it fits this splendid tale! You've got a lovely thing here! Truly just 👌
Wow, I am so glad I checked this out after seeing a single piece of fanart. I'd write more, but it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm still shocked. That was great!
I love this story oh it's so emotional and I LOVED!!! EVERYTHING in it from the music the writing the art it's truly is a masterpiece and it really earned it's place as the 1st ranked novel.
God, that ending tho. We, as an audience, not being able to know what happens next is such a good way of of- ending the story? I dunno, i dont have the words. Its amazingly poetic tho
took me a moment to realize Memento was wearing a hoody all along
Also, Ineed to say that i loved the subtle (but not really) detail of them being named Memento and Mori.
There are some scenes that made me tear up. Memento is so handsome and adorable, and Mori seems to be a realist. Both seem to be introspective, though, and I feel like what Mori went through resonated a chord within me.
The music set the mood correctly and, as Camazule always does, made it set the tone.
All in all, this VN is, in my opinion, one of the greatest I've played. The art, the music, the CGs, and Memento, all of it was so good. Thanks for this visual novel, and I hope you have a good day/night.

This was hard to read but I'm so happy I did
i must say,that is not only a game, that is a artwork for really...
I did not cry but felt every punch this story gave. 10/10
Wow... WOW... This was so beautiful. Absolutely fell in love with the music
What an absolutely impactful experience! About a 1.5-2.5h read. I've never had such a short piece of media impact me so much before.
10/10, please give this novel a shot if you find yourself with some time in your day!
Such an amazing, tragic and gay little story, very beautiful highly recommended.
I had to take a break halfway through because I started to cry so hard that my eyes were getting swollen aaaa. This VN means so much to me, genuinely.

*sniffles* w-who gave y'all the right to make me cry, i-idiots 😭 I loved this story and it affected me for a whole day and maybe it will even longer..
It's the most touching VN I've ever read in fact… Though it's short, its story successfully and deeply hits me.
i think this game made me feel less scared about death 10/10 would recomend
This very gay and fun :) 5 stars from me
That ending... Now I feel like crying! this VN is truly a masterpiece, thank you.
Truly the most breath - taking story i have ever read, It reached deep inside me and struck a chord i have havent felt in so many years, thank you, from all that is me, Team Lycoris!
I read this with a friend in vc and started to BALL MY EYES OUT I loved it
Though I wished there was a way to listen to some of the music for this online I tried looking but I couldn't find any sadly
My feelings are much too volatile to write an extensive review after playing this, but what I can say is one of the best visual novels I have ever read in my entire life, massive props to the team behind this masterpiece.
The most heartfelt thing i have ever read.
I don't even know where to begin with this, I started playing this game at like 1 am and I couldn't stop because I was too engrossed into the story (I stayed up pretty much the whole night) First thing I gotta say is that the music is heavenly, absolutely love it, (is there an ost I can find?) second I loved every second of the story.

i went into this expecting sad topics, but not expecting the reaper to be a silly goober most of the time lol
10/10
Omggg I cried three times in this story ;(
Too good! The arts, music, characters' design, the CGs, the visual effects... All of it is wonderful and made me so damn immerse in this story!!
DEFINITELY WOULD PLAY AGAIN
I said what I wanted to in my review, but so others scrolling the comments can see, what a beautiful game! Excellent work, definitely worth the play.
Beautiful, love every moment of this one. Good job for everyone on this project, and hope to see more of your other works as well.
This might aswell be one of my favorite visual novels ever made, all tho im not good at making well written Reviews for visual novels and this'll be the first one ever, i dont wanna keep the thoughts to myself

A wonderful story with a wonderful premise, with a wonderful lesson acompanied with wonderful art and wonderful writing.
10/10 for this short masterpiece made with passion, Memento Mori.
I'm so happy someone also related to being proud to those two at the end!
Short story about furry thanatos picaro lol. I don't really get why it gets everyone to cry so easily, but it was beatiful.
Is that a persona reference
Well, it's not hard to see why, really. Death isn't a easy subject and I'm sure it got people thinking about their loved ones and such. Tbh, I only got sad when Memento cried lol.
Such a lovely heart-felt story. I could not keep myself from crying by the end.
Nothing but love on my end.
Really loved the ending. Didn't think I'd end up crying but here I am, tears in my eyes. Truly can't express how incredible of an experience this was. Kudos!
I haven't cried this much in a long while. What a beautiful piece of art. Thank you to everyone who made it
Truly a brilliant short story. You all captured so much in such a small time frame, and in fact made that time-frame elevate the story. An incredible amount love and effort went into this, and it's very clear.
Thank you all for creating this experience, I hope to see more from you all!
Brilliant short story. Does what it wants to do so well and what it does is also very impactful. Wonderfully impressive job!

A great little story. Did exactly what it intended to do. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Wow, I am so glad I checked this out after seeing a single piece of fanart. I'd write more, but it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm still shocked. That was great!
I love this story oh it's so emotional and I LOVED!!! EVERYTHING in it from the music the writing the art it's truly is a masterpiece and it really earned it's place as the 1st ranked novel.
Damn. I cried. Multiple times.
11/10
Would pet Memento again

Memento Mori "Remember Death" (Latim)
There are some scenes that made me tear up. Memento is so handsome and adorable, and Mori seems to be a realist. Both seem to be introspective, though, and I feel like what Mori went through resonated a chord within me.
The music set the mood correctly and, as Camazule always does, made it set the tone.
