60 of 99 · most liked firstThis is a short game but it was a great way to spend 3 hours. The art style is so unique and the way you move through the levels with this infinite zoom is so trippy to watch. It has some solid puzzles and some interesting mini-games to test your IQ. What was it all about? Uhhh. I can't say for sure......yeah, it's one of those. I am thrifty so 10 bucks for a 3 hour 100% cheevo game is a bit of a tough sell for me. Definite sale purchase in my opinion. _________________________ PROS +…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⇩ *SENSITIVE VIEWER WARNING AT BOTTOM* ⇩ Path to Mnemosyne is a hypnotic psychological horror puzzle game that melts your brain. Just when you're put into a kaleidoscopic environment and surrounded by endless immersive artwork, you continue walking into an infinite zoom of even more details. A game with this kind of trippy, never-ending, surreal atmosphere is nothing like I've ever seen before. The puzzles vary with difficulty, especially when you have to shift from one platform to another that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very disappointing. + The art style is unique and the music is ok. - No story, even worse ending, why bother - Puzzles are simplistic, click to light up adjacent squares/light out. It's a mystery to me that some of the other reviews either complained about how hard the puzzles are or how awesome they are. Most of them aren't original. I beat it in 90 minutes, if I was doing it in one sitting/no distractions it probably would take 60 minutes. Only purchase if on sale - $10 is ridiculous.

I was all ears when it came to a game about...! Hmm? Oh right intro~ Devilish Games is the indie counterpart to Spherical Pixel, who both make up decades worth of experience in creating video games. The titles you'll find on Steam are mostly from the latter, whose core mechanics are increasingly centered on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The way it shows a surreal and hyper-realistic unique art style within the original corridor is impressive, illustrating the concept of 'moving forward means delving inward.' As implied by the title 'Mnemosyne,' it feels like navigating through an unstable inner path, following the protagonist's memories and unconscious mind. 끝도 시작도 없이 아득한 미로여.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Japón siempre ha sido un país importante para Devilish (el 4° en ventas de Minabo y el 3° en Path to Mnemosyne), pero con Cloudgazer: A Game About Watching Clouds está siendo nuestro principal comprador 🤯
unlabelledView post →Your mileage may vary. I've been playing 1st and 3rd person shooters for over twenty years. I've played Portal 1 and 2. I've played Half Life 2 in VR, start to finish, with no ill effects. I can watch other people play 1st person games for hours. Playing this I felt too nauseated to continue after around 5 minutes. Funnily enough, I didn't experience any ill effects from watching the promo video for the game (otherwise I wouldn't have bought it). I think at least part of the problem is that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really beautiful puzzle game and amazing story. I wouldn't mind to have my memory erased to play this again as new... :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very bad riddle design: sound and melody riddles with desynched animation and sounds too long for animation, also not whole animation fits inside the screen, you must guess what actually happened. Reaction time riddles needing HIGHER reflexes than CSGO 1v5 clutch win. Just dont waste your time. And just use guide if you already bought it. The playtime of 2 h only results from really bad riddle design and a lot of backtracking. Also last riddles are just code breakers needing to bruteforce till…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The praise: -beautiful art -fractal like levels, very unique -narrator sounds like Kevin Spacey The nag: -non-existent story that still manages to be boring -confuzing and irritating puzzles -short "Open narrative" indeed, the ending was disappointing let down and it was never revealed what was the point of ANYTHING. Quest for lost memories, but what exactly were those memories? Who is this girl? What is her trauma? What-why-how-why-what? 9,99e? Hell no. Buy only if 0.99e. Bonus nag: after…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply horrible. The visual style is interesting and the infinite zoom gimmick is worth a look, but the gameplay is completely lacking. Most of the puzzles are "match the pattern you saw on the wall earlier" types, but sometimes there is a LOT of backtracking and deliberately confusing disorientation which is designed to make you mess up, and there's often no way to reset the puzzle so you end up having to just blindly wander around hoping that you'll accidentally solve it and move on to the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →***WARNING!!! Do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME on this TRAVESTY that they are selling as a game.**** This game is undoubtedly THE CRAPPIEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. If I had known then, what I know now I would have not settled to get paid less than $100 an hour to play this game. In fact, I believe I would rather have a root canal than play this game. When you first start it the artistic style of the first 2-3 minutes intrigues you. But then you realize that what you see in the first couple of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea is good and the riddles are nice. But these sync games are just a nightmare. Sound and animation is not in sync so you have to guess on some parts. But what I disliked most was the missing explanation for all of that. I mean ... what? Why? I hate these types of esotherical (is this the word?) games. I didn't get it what both endings were. The teleport stuff was annoying too ...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trippy little puzzle game. Profound, and not in a pretentious way. Nice storytelling device, solid puzzles every single one of them "clicks" at some point. The game does not feel repetitive at all, despite being just a sort of "infinite zoom" corridor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dreamy story game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very special experience, not the typical look and feel. This game has a very personal style. It reminds me of Monument Valley in the sense that is a slow paced puzzle game that is not very difficult but makes a memorable journey with a unique visual style.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has decent puzzles,and annoying/repetitive voice lines. I like the art style, but the sound effects and the voicelines are what ruin it for me, I'm never able to get into the passive calming mindset that I need for puzzle games cause the audio just brings anxiety
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This concept would of been a lot funner as an adventure game instead of a really asinine puzzle game. At first the puzzles are relatively intuitive or are solved with fair assumption, but an hour in the game introduces this absurd area where you have to navigate exclusively using over a dozen unmarked portals and it just stops being fun. The puzzle in said area is really basic, the entire challenge of the area is trying to figure out how to actually get around because you exclusively have to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's definitely not a game that you would miss if you don't buy it. it's not that bad but it's not great either. most of the puzzles are easy and time consuming. there were several puzzles that I didn't understood and they've got solved before I even got the time to think about them. the story seems simple but the way they feed you the details make it look complicated.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am recommending this game as long as you pick it up on a significant sale. I don't think there is enough here to justify the full price, though. Short, simple puzzler with an arresting handdrawn art style. Most of the puzzles are pretty straightforward, but there are a few towards the end that I'd recommend using a guide for simply because they involve a lot of backtracking, making it easy to get lost. Story was minimal and nothing too exciting, but it does help lend to the atmosphere. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this type of game, it is an art with infinite zoom with puzzles, I have nothing to add, it's worth it! (When you have days when you have nothing to do, it's worth a try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Path to Mnemosyne is a simple "art first, game second" puzzle game with interesting hand drawn art, but no real rhyme, method, plot or purpose behind the art, it's more like a showcase than any kind of adventure or story. The puzzle design is okay but not great, the hand drawn art is okay but it's hardly Death Stranding. For the same whopping $10 USD you can get Portal, with 3D graphics, less pretentiousness, and better puzzle design.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game becomes Extremely frustrating overtime which is disappointing as this game is visually very interesting. -Very few puzzles in this actually are good and some I couldn't consider as actual puzzles. -Many involve a ton of backtracking, which a lot of time just feels like padding; you solve a puzzle only to go to the start to get your reward and then GO BACK to the end to continue on with the level. -Some rhythm puzzles are impossible to see because they don't fit on screen when you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually, I am not a big fan of puzzle/riddle games, but this game is FANTASTIC! The great, unsettling atmosphere and the awesome graphic style kept me glued to the chair until I completed it. The riddles have a theme and logic; they also tell the story. A real journey into the mind... I will surely replay it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You really feel like in a dream with this game, very good atmosphere and original gameplay, amazing visuals and a really cool technical aspect that shows the developers are trying to do something unique, they deliver in my opinion. puzzles are some of them easy , but some others not, the spinning tube will mess up your mind and challenge your orientation.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm feeling quite conflicted about this one, to be honest. The premise is truly great, I like the idea and the art is flawless and has that trippy vibe. However I believe that the execution of the game could've been better. For example the puzzles are alright but it would've been nice to have more variety, also I found it oftentimes difficult to figure out the solution but that's probably just me being stupid lol. I ended up following a detailed guide at some point to spare me the frustration…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend this if you can get it on sale. It's pretty short and the plot is essentially nonexistent. It fits some decent puzzle variety into its very short runtime and basic control scheme however, which is why I think it's worth a playthrough if you can get it at a reduced price. Nothing mindblowing but I enjoyed myself.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4/10 Way too unsuspenseful. The idea seems interesting but I'm not sure if it could be developed any further than this. Honestly, I was waiting for some seriously damaging Junji Itou -moments but Path to Mnemosyne is just a long, annoying puzzle game with no real plot or actually interesting horror elements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Art is great, world vibe is very psychological/mysterious Puzzles are ok. ALOT of trial and error just to understand how things work,especially the portal puzzles. Story makes ABSOLUTELY no sense
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You should never create puzzles and without a good manipulation/interaction interface. This time, it's not even "not good", but just clunky and annoying since you're IN the puzzle and have to move and jump around there. Interesting artstyle, atmospheric presentation, but way too tedious gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abstract. Strange. Obscure. Puzzle solving that doesn't feel unfair but still maintains a sentinment of challenge. This game is so rad. https://youtu.be/07JNeYE_DsI
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short but unique game with a tunnel-like perspective and creative use of sound and visuals. The puzzles are thoughtful and sometimes challenging, making it a memorable experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is beautifully mysterious! 🌌🧠 The compelling story and atmospheric visuals draw me in deeply. I love unraveling the puzzles and exploring the intriguing world. It’s perfect for lovers of immersive narrative adventures! 🎭
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Path to Mnemosyne, developed and published by DevilishGames, is an experimental puzzle adventure that feels more like a journey through the subconscious than a conventional game. Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology and surrealist art, it immerses the player in a haunting exploration of memory, perception, and self. The title refers to Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of memory and mother of the Muses, whose name has long been associated with the act of remembering. This mythological foundation…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Path to Mnemosyne stands out mainly for its unique, minimalist black-and-white art style, which resembles sketches or artistic drawings. The atmosphere of the game is strange, hypnotic, and dreamlike – hard to describe precisely, but definitely worth experiencing. The gameplay is simple to control but occasionally makes you think about some puzzles. I completed the game in about 2.7 hours, got stuck on one level, but overall the length is just right – not too short, not too long. I would…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6/10 simple puzzle game with nice art style. Not very good at conveying the story through gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unintuitive puzzles...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →POO EYES 🥶💪💪💪
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool short game, has a pretty cool art style as well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →enjoyable game, i found out that this game is really relatable. 7.2/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The black and white visuals are nice to look at for a minute, but then it keeps being the same view over and over again, with very minor variations. The riddles are also the same maddening labyrinth of buttons and portals repeated a dozen times, and navigating it gets annoying pretty soon. There are different puzzle challenges in between the chapters, but they're brief and nothing particularly clever. The "story" lacks a satisfying resolution, too. 5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is, primarily, a memory based game. You'll spend most of your time slowly backtracking to look for the information, and then trudging back to input that information in the correct place, which makes the game feel artificially long. The last section of the game shuns this established rule, and turns into a game of doing things with precise timing which, since the protagonist moves with clunky, delayed responses, becomes incredibly frustrating, especially when combined with the annoying…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Good The mechanics are really solid overall, and I enjoyed them. The visuals are also really cool, with a constant infinite tunnel effect that's simultaneously interesting and unnerving for the entire game. I didn't have any problems with the voice acting or sound design overall either; it definitely goes for "general unnease" and accomplishes that atmosphere just fine. The Meh This is a very short game, my wife and I beat it comfortably in one 90 minutes sitting. This doesn't have to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll be the first to admit that Path of Mnemosyne is a very pretty game, and if you're willing to forgive Path to Mnemosyne's flaws to experience some neat art, picking this up for a $1 on sale might be worth your time. Otherwise, I'd say skip this. Let's start with the story: there is none. There's a vague sort of theme: Mnemosyne is the Greek goddess of memory, and Lethe is a river in Hades that caused completely memory loss if you drank from it. Along your journey is some narration that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great little game with an amazing art style. I can't imagine how it all was drawn, what size of the pictures developer's used and how they made everything to look so awesome. However I think that potential of some puzzle is not fully revealed. Devs could bring much more interesting situations with this mechanic of "world rotation". They could add more paths to go, more abilities to change the level, add more "corridors" (currently we've got one corridor with four sides to walk). But all in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the strange aesthetic, and the almost Dolly zoom-like effect that gave it a very unique and eerie feel. I also appreciated the attention to the animation, especially things like the main character turning around. The puzzles were also interesting, as was the general idea of rotating the environment around yourself. Also, they seem to have fixed a lot of the bugs/glitches that others had warned about, as I didn't encounter a single one, and was also able to get both endings without…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry, but i cannot recommend this title. It has fine graphics style and some puzzles are interesing, mainly based on reflexes and observiation skills, but this game if far from relaxing, starting from visual aspects, high pitch noises, pointelss story, irritating sounds etc. Definitely developer choosed good name for himself, devilish games, this game will create pulp from your brain after 1h of gameplay. Skip it unless you enjoy bdsm on your grey cells.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short, surreal trip down a creepy and unsettling Hallway of Memories - solving puzzles as you spiral further into the fractal curves of hypnotic art and tense atmosphere. Lovers of the weird should definitely take the plunge!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Path to Mnemosyne is a short but fairly well made hand drawn puzzle game. It has a forgettable story (and ending), and there was one puzzle in particular that I found a bit annoying/frustrating, however I still enjoyed most of the two hours it took me to beat it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old-timers might remember Zoomquilt - an infinitely zooming art project from early 2000s. Now we have something like that in a game form! Kinda. It's got a beginning and an end so it's not really infinite, but the vibes from zooming in and out of surreal imagery are quite strong. Sound design is solid with fitting ambient music. Puzzles are OK overall, some are well integrated into the environment and fun to solve, and some (especially some of the puzzles on the doors) just feel like a random…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little puzzle game, quite short and pretty easy especially if you're into puzzle games/point and clicks, but the artwork is beautiful and sets a nice creepy ambience. The story is... elusive. I thought I understood the story until I saw the two obscure endings which thoroughly confused me ^^' Seeing as it's not very expensive (especially on sale), I encourage you to take a look :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting environment puzzles in a mostly black and white setting. Creepy, handdrawn graphics and a good soundtrack wrapped in a disturbing story. 3-4 hours unique & creepy puzzler.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a surreal puzzler. Sign me the ♥♥♥♥ up. Kinda short, but I really liked it. It's all continue down the path, but the puzzles are fun and pretty varied.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanna start by mentioning the incredibly unique artstyle. Wow I am utterly impressed! The game plays and sounds incredible. But what you guys really wanna know about are the puzzles right? Well rest assured these puzzles are actually worth the time. These aren't your mamby pampy grandmom's puzzles. These aren't your fumbly bumbly uncle Henry's puzzles. They are real puzzles. How real? Well chat couldn't even solve them... so yea. 8/10. Here's my gameplay https://youtu.be/zLdinj2SZqg
