Critic Reviews for Amnesia: Memories
Weaving a complex tale of deception and love, Amnesia: Memories is an engaging visual novel which will guarantee multiple playthroughs to squeeze all the content that it has to offer. A pleasure to play, the game gives heartfelt emotion as well as frivolity throughout, earning its status as one of the best visual novels that the Vita has to offer.
Halfway between a visual novel and a dating sim, it's a relaxing experience, but don't expect too much from the narrative depth.

Amnesia: Memories is a solid Otome game that shows a fun twist to think of how dating routes go. It has great art, and characterization, though the option of choice isn’t always very impactful.
This visual novel tells a good story, but a big flaw ruins a lot of the experience.
If you are enchanted by the prospect of Amnesia: Memories, delve right in and see how it subverts otome expectations.
The story is strong and the characters interesting enough that clicking through all that dialogue isn't likely to put you off.
Amnesia: Memories shows off its 5 unique stories, and although it's not perfect, it still succeeds as a visual novel.
There’s not much more I can say about Amnesia without going heavy on the spoilers, and part of the reason it has been re-released on Switch is so people can experience them for the first time. However, what’s important here is that Amnesia: Memories is a well-written visual novel, and in so many ways epitomises the qualities of what you might expect from a “classical” otome game. For that reason alone, genre fans, and anyone interested in learning about it for the first time, owe it to themselves to check this game out.
