A Memoir Blue
A Memoir Blue is an atmospheric journey through the memories of Miriam: a champion swimmer, who on the day of her greatest success dwells on her childhood memories of her mother and a special trip they took. Experience this personal story through a beautiful mixture of 3D animation and hand-drawn 2D. Interact and play with dreamlike objects in tactile ways that will surprise and delight players as they dig deeper into what was really happening that day. A gorgeously illustrated story of magical realism, A Memoir Blue shows that the past is a puzzle worth solving.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
