Eurorepair Calling on the cover do not forget about the inevitable meeting with the opposing bony old woman, the game is making a great effort to win you an attractive appearance and user-friendly interface. Virtual tour of Europe in the company of one of the characters leaves a good impression (admittedly, entertaining conversation, he would hardly entertain, but more on that later). The majestic scenery of cold Finland, the sultry streets of Portugal, a cozy Scottish castle and rainy native Peter traced carefully and thoroughly, and things like loafing around "nesyuzhetnyh" characters, or e-mail at work PC is very enliven a game atmosphere. Here, unlike in real life, you have a pleasant surprise when Lara goes in an elevator with a fellow traveler: Well, you must, in the world behind the screen, it appears, too, live people!

From what has been For the type of Memento Mori-no game, and candy. Only instead of filling out sloggers Centauri filled with surveillance treat industrial waste their more experienced colleagues kvestodelov. Gameplay and narrative structure of a game like Broken Sword 4: The man and woman are worn around the globe and unravel the mysterious machinations of the Order, the Templars, this time left alone, but another "Angel of Death" - on the spot. But there are not enough interesting script, literate lyrics. Instead of witty remarks have to listen to a lot of everyday, inexpressive, and in places simply silly chatter ("This dish - all that remains of my mother"). Tone from the first frame sets the mysterious commenter: "Each tragic story has a beginning, a place and time. But it also has its own end. " Dismiss: from the trivial such a glaring red even Chekhovian Ippolitych Hippolyte, who is always saying what people already know from the cradle. But without a good text adventure game - that the boat without oars: or swim at all, or wherever necessary.

Dialog system does Memento Morii depressing. Characters speak only in the case, because of what the answers are always exactly two: "yes" or "no", the graphic design in the form of smiley and emoticons upset. So do not be: the player always has the right to know about the game a little more than how he feels, he should know, and it is not about the storyline, or hints. Some techniques Memento Mori clearly borrows from Fahrenheit (working life, women investigator; changing "cinematic" plans), but there is already suffering from a lack of plot rhythm.And like the plot of the heroes are not so much time on everything about everything, and sometimes life-threatening situation - no, the creators too cherish their polygonal Pupsik. Do something wrong, somewhere to be late or can not die by mistake: just say the game is not quite lived up to his gloomy-edifying name. Already in the game about the criminal investigation would be to make the player sweat as it should. For example, do more time-limited action to punish players for mistakes, provide less obvious clues.
All of this suggests that the quest «Memento Mori: Memento Mori" - a story of fake works of art - he, by and large, is a copy, though not the best quality. At a certain point it becomes difficult to deal with the feeling that the authors want to buy are not very experienced player nice graphics, etc., they say, is not so important. It is not so: refereed nearby game "Edna and Harvey: The explosion of the brain" the best way demonstrated that for a really exciting adventure technologies have the last value, which is more important than the identity and the original findings. And Memento Morisvoego person did not.
