Another Code: Two Memories
Today I want to talk about “Another Code: Two Memories” for the DS. I haven’t tried the follow up game for the Wii just yet but I’ll be dropping down to xtra vision soon enough!
Apart from the game having an obvious enough ending with no plot twists, and let’s face it, we all love our plot twists, it was a good story line and interesting enough to keep me playing at least.
Ashley
So, about the game itself. You play as Ashley who receives a 14th birthday present from her dead father. Yes that right, her dead father. It turns out her father isn’t dead and wants to meet her on a deserted island for no apparent reason. Ashley arrives on the island with her aunt Jessica and realises that her father is nowhere to be seen. Jessica heads off to find him but when she doesn’t come back Ashley gets worried and follows her aunt. She hears a scream from across the bridge and that’s when the game begins.
The game was made by the same company that worked on “Hotel Dusk: Room 215” which I am currently trying out and the game play is quite similar. It’s basically a point and click investigation game where you’re able to pretty much interact with everything you can see. As Ashley you have to make your way around the island investigating the history and interacting with several characters and objects around the island. There are items you must collect and use at the right times and places you have to visit in the correct order along with an onslaught of puzzles and mysteries to solve.
The most interesting character that appears quite often is the ghost of a young boy simply named “D” who Ashley meets early on it the game. He opens the option to a side quest in the game where not only does Ashley have to find her aunt and father, she must investigate D’s history and discover why and how he died. If you complete this quest you unlock a secret section to the ending so it’s really worth doing as you move through the game.
I thought it was a really enjoyable game and I can’t wait to try the sequel!
