One would ask why would I download this game? One would ask why would I review this game? Was it the fact I was bored? Or did I download it before during the competition and wanted to see this strange new ending, then to leave sarcastic comments? Perhaps, but no.

The reason why I downloaded it is unknown, infact I don't actually know why I did. I hardly download any games from TDC, the latest one I probably downloaded before this was <a href"http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=5252">5 Magical Amulets</a>, and that wasn't even a click game. Rest assured though, there are some good games here, yet I just can't be bothered to download them.

Anyway.

This game is, well surreal in a way. Surreal as in, WTF or o_O (to express my facial expression upon downloading this) After executing this, (literally I wish I could) I came across a rather ugly presentation menu, with the title "Only in Your Memories" scrolling slowly towards it's destination. Seriously though, what type of title is that? It's the sort of name that a film Nicole Kidman would star in. It doesn't even have anything to do with the game, as Phizzy even mentioned, the creator of this anomaly.

You start in a forest, you don't know how you got there and why you got there. All you can remember is this ugly fool with glasses. (although in the game they just said a guy with glasses) You're also welcomed by a strange person who has been telling you strange stories in your sleep. After explaining to the mysterious man your past memories (maybe that has something to do with the title) he runs away. Yes, he runs away. So you go on a mission to look for this man. Personally I would have just looked for someplace I could get the bus and go home, but no this is Xidar and this is a game (I suppose) and he must go forth and find this man.

The gameplay, may I add is hard to describe. The standard 8 direction movement has been used for the movement of our main character, Xidar. As you ponder throughout the forest, seeing the same tree over and over again you have foes awaiting you. Little... potato... things which are on the hunt for you. The fighting engine is very strange, like the game. You touch one of those "things" and you suddenly enter a new part with perhaps 10 of them. You can easily just walk out and not fight any of them but if you want to build up your points, be my guest. I warn you though... there's no point. You can die in about 5 seconds trying to kill the "things" as they hump you to death. I knew straight away that the enemies had some sort of sexual assaultive strategy towards the player, not because it looked like it but because the creator of this game is very disturbing.

The graphics are okay I suppose for a game which was created in minus 92 hours. Yet the tiled grass in the forest and the multiplicity of the same tree wasn't much of an appeal to me. However, I will let this slide because I am nice.

The interesting thing about this game was that the characters were voiced, well only at the beginning and a surprise guest appearance by our residential drunk, Asparagus Trevor (who is presented with an abnormally huge head and a... *sigh* small penis.

Don't get me started on the fucking music.

Lastability, I awarded Phizzy a big fat 0, not because I'm an ungrateful bastard but because it's an RPG, a relatively small RPG at that. Okay, I'll give it a 1 just incase you want to see the strange ending again.

The ending was possibly the biggest single eyebrow raising thing in the whole game. I admit, my face experienced several expressions, which had WTF written all over it. Not literally you fool. I shall spoil it for you though, you're suddenly beamed up to a spaceship where you're destroyed by Phizzy who starts dancing to the Safety Dance by Hats for Clowns or something.

Yes, I did play this in the benifit that you try to resist yourself from downloading this. It's the poorest excuse for a game I've ever played. I'd rather disgorge all the contents in both my large and small intestine and suck it all up my nose through a straw whilst whipped by the infamous Bag Lady of Hemel Hempstead in a bikini.

Na I'm just kidding, you can download it if you want, I'm not stopping you.

Wow, for a game so short this is a long review. Wakcanoonoo.
