A narrative adventure described by the authors as an interactive poem. In A Memoir Blue, we play as a swimmer named Miriam who dives into her memories, recalling her troubled childhood and the complicated yet strong bond between her and her mother.
A Memoir Blue is a narrative adventure game that, due to its artistic flair and the themes it addresses, is described by its creators as an interactive poem. The game was developed by Cloisters Interactive, an independent American studio, and was published by Annapurna Interactive.
The heroine of the game A Memoir Blue is a swimmer named Miriam. After listening to an old song being a real star of the sport, the girl dives into memories. The heroine recalls her troubled past and tries to understand the complicated yet strong bond she has with her mother.
A Memoir Blue is a side-scroller. During the game we explore surreal locations. Because of the discipline, in which Miriam is a master, in many of them appears water. We are talking about a room filled with it, a train under its surface, or even the sea bed, on which a thoughtful girl sits. In each of these places we solve ingenious puzzles and observe the heroine's childhood memories. In this way, step by step, we discover more pages from her past and learn more and more about the relationship she has with her mother.
The graphic design of A Memoir Blue in an original way combines 3D elements (the heroine, the places she visits) and 2D (scenes from Miriam's childhood).

Game Ratings for A Memoir Blue Video Game.
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Kim Snaith
There’s a lot to praise about A Memoir Blue. It looks and sounds beautiful, and feels almost experimental in its design – it’s always a joy to see small developers trying something new. But it does leave a little to be desired; its short narrative fails to deliver any real punch, and when the credits roll you may be left thinking “…is that it?”. But considering its small asking price, we can’t really complain. If you enjoy narrative-led journeys, particularly those that deal in human emotion, A Memoir Blue is worth picking up.
PlayStation Universe: 7.5 / 10 by Timothy Nunes
Like most art, A Memoir Blue has its fair share of flaws. However, like art, it has you thinking about its strengths and intentions instead of its mechanics. A Memoir Blue succeeds more than it falters, and everyone needs to give this game their time.
TechRaptor: 8 / 10 by James Bentley
A Memoir Blue is an interesting, emotional journey with a great atmosphere to go alongside it. Even though the story demands a little more time, the journey is worth it.
