The more beautiful something is, the faster it melts and disappears from our hands.
''Memento Märchen" is a freeware, slightly cruel and charming tale in a fairytale world by Wakaba, made with RPG Maker MV.One day, a girl named Rusha found herself lost in a world of fairy tales.There, she met a man who introduced himself as "Content."Will she be able to explore this mysterious world and find the door to safely return to her own world...?
This game provides examples of:
- Abusive Parents: Rusha's parents didn't let her leave the house because of her chronic illness. Because of this, she never learned how to behave in society or make friends
- All Just a Dream: In the True Ending, Shez wakes up alone in his house, after Rusha tells him to keep living.
- The Bad Guy Wins: In one of the endings, Rusha kills her own brother.
- Bad People Abuse Animals: Many of the individuals you find in the fairytale world are animals, or a human with animal mortifs. Rusha almost always has an option to be awful to them. Also, the only thing that you can kill and still have the True Ending are the bugs. Shez writes that the real Rusha used to kill bugs, too.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Rusha herself: she can be kind to individuals in the fantasy world, but she can also easily kill them for no reason if the player so desires.
- Cruel Twist Ending: At the end of the game, it is revealed that Content is actually Rusha's brother. It is also revealed that the real Rusha died a long time ago.
- Dead All Along: It is revealed that the protagonist, Rusha, has been dead since the beginning of the game, only "alive" in the fantasy world created by her brother.
- Silent Protagonist: Rusha doesn't speak nor does she express emotions for most of the game. We only have a vague ideia of what she's saying via dialog options you can pick. She only actually speaks in the end segment.
