Don't Forget Me

Apr 21, 2021

Perhaps the biggest twist to Don’t Forget Me—and this is not a spoiler—is that despite all the chatter about memories, the game isn’t explicitly about them.

It’s a cyberpunk story that dives deep into the timeless question about whether freedom is worth sacrificing for peace and happiness, about whether freedom without peace is truly peace at all, and vice versa.

For a freshman effort by a budding French team, it’s a neat experience worth paying attention to.
