Path to Mnemosyne
Another black and white game, Path to Mnemosyne is the story of a girl delving deeper and deeper into her mind to find peace with her tragic and traumatic memories.
Based heavily in perspective and viewpoints, you’ll feel like you’re walking through an entire optical illusion as you guide your character further down the titular trail.
From skeletal arms reaching towards the screen to a path guiding you right into a baby’s brain, Path to Mnemosyne sets its own tone with static, muted imagery instead of dynamic backgrounds and bright colors.
The only thing moving is your character and the only colors you see are black, white, grey, and the occasional pop of blue or green.
Path to Mnemosyne takes a particular and detailed spin on minimalist art that just works way too well and many other games should look to it for ways to twist minimalism into something incredible.
