ESDigital Games and Magic Hazard have announced the official release date for Memory Lost, a top-down shooter set in a dystopian metropolis. The game will launch on March 6, 2025, for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, with console versions for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch coming later.
The game’s core mechanic revolves around mind-capturing, allowing you to take control of enemies and use their strengths to your advantage. With limited resources, like a single magazine of ammo and no first-aid kits, you must rely on this ability to survive and complete their missions.
Memory Lost offers a unique blend of action, strategy, and storytelling. The game features 60 unique enemies, each with their own abilities that you can take over to influence the outcome of battles. The game’s five skill trees allow for endless configurations, letting you experiment with different combinations to find the playstyle that suits you best.
The story is driven by the Neural Network, the game’s main character, which evolves as you capture enemies’ memories. These memories shape the Neural Network’s personality and unlock new abilities at the Mind-Map hub. The game also introduces a karma system, where your actions, whether killing for the common good or showing mercy, affect the story and lead to one of three possible endings.
