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.
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.

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.

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
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

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.

Damn. I cried. Multiple times.
