Its as simple as matching pairs when it comes to exploring the haunted Memory Mansion.
heyits5AM’s Memory Mansion takes the simple game of pairs and gives it a light narrative and some interesting new twists. The title, which will ultimately be releasing for mobile, and is currently playable in browsers, gives players a health bar and adds a timer through a dwindling flame.
Each room is comprised of a series of face-down tiles, among them pieces of keys, locked doors, items, and threats. The rest is simple enough, once you’ve matched the pairs they are removed from the board, with junk being added to your satchel, keys allowing you to open doors, et cetera. It’s clean and simple to understand, with a tiny string of tips to get you started before you’re released into the world of cute artwork and dark rooms.
At the moment Memory Mansion is still very much in-development. I played it a short while back when I picked it out to cover, and then played it again before starting this article, finding the changes since then were very noticeable. There’s now a string of rooms from where to start, and there’s a little chap who tries to sell you things between rooms. Your light doesn’t rekindle as much as it used to either, and there’s currently no way to quickly get it back.
For now though, it’s well worth going and having a quick play around with it. I hope that there’ll be a way to trade loot, or more items in the store, soon. But, even still, it stands very well as it currently is.
Memory Mansion is playable for free on Itch.io.
