60 of 93 · most liked firstMy 2nd Quell game. Maybe the hardest, longest of this journeys yet. It really takes time to beat it and its really challenging to find the best solutions of many levels, sometimes with 4 orbs where you need to find out when where, what to do before and what after, 1 wrong move can destroy everything. The game is really amazing, only what i miss are 5 Trading Cards and MORE steam acheivements, steps achievements for gems, pearls, time items on the way to get all, or time achievements for playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the Quell games. They're just challenging enough so that I don't get bored but easy enough so that a ret*ard like me doesn't get discouraged. Quell is my personal favorite game series. It represents exactly what I'm looking for on Steam: low-commitment self-paced brainteasers with a calming aesthetic. I always recommend it to friends. In more detail, the game is about 20% puzzle game, and 80% interactive art with an absolutely stunning ambiance. I was a bit skeptical at first, since…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is the third game in the Quell series, and is unique in several ways. Some of the things it includes with the two previous Quell games are the amazing level of polish, and the spectacular soundtrack. This game also retains the challenging puzzle aspect of the other games, but manages to add so much new content that it feels like a whole new world. In Quell Reflect several new mechanics had been added over the original game, Quell Memento takes those mechanics and multiplies them…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have played Quell or Quell reflect then all you need to know is - This game is of the same quality of the other games but longer - There's new elements and more puzzles. The puzzles are not a copy of the old ones - This game takes a couple of seconds to start. Something that I rarely noticed in the other games You don't need to have played the previous games. You can start with this one. If possible, though, I'd recommend playing the whole collection in the proper order: Quell, Quell…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"The Modern Quell of 4 Seasons" The Quell collection is a triplet of decent challenging puzzle games. I recommend to buy all three parts in a bundle on sale. Basically you shift orbs throught logical buildup labrinths to collect all pearls with a limit of moves. In higher levels there are added some elements like poisoned orbs, spikes or portals. You can also get stuck in infinite loops. Each level contains a hidden jewel you must find in a second playthrough. The controls are sometimes buggy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not only *by far* the best game in the Quell trilogy, but also one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. For the first time in the trilogy I was actually looking into getting perfect moves for all puzzles, and in order to 100% the game I only had to get help on a dozen levels or so. Memento has the most puzzles, the most interesting puzzles, the most 'ah AH!' moments, the most mechanics, the most diversity in using those mechanics, the most songs, the most details, I could go on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →84 / 100 Quell Your Puzzle Addiction? (A Quell Series review) Slide, slide.. slide away many enjoyable hours being challenged by some deceptively well designed, compact puzzles in the Quell Series. Your goal is to collect all the Pearls in the minimum number of moves & as a bonus, locate the hidden jewel found on each level. Simple right? Well the "Quells" can be deceiving .. as you will quickly find out. Including the original Quell & the sequels, Quell Reflect & Quell Memento, each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather than just adding more puzzles that are exactly the same as the puzzles from its prequels, Quell Memento manages to add several new fun game mechanics. While fun and innovative, these mechanics are still entirely in line with the core of the previous games: moving a little ball around the screen to accomplish the level objectives. The attempt to add a storyline to the game fell rather flat for me, but it is easy to ignore this in favour of the great puzzles that this game has to offer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first Quell was simple and it was good. If I couldn't solved a level in the optimal number of moves, it was because I screwed up. In an effort to add variety, Quell Memento adds a number of new gameplay elements. Some of them work well but many of them don't. Some just add complexity, but not in a good way. It's easy to make an puzzle game with every increasing complexity that is hard to solve. The tricky part is designing something relatively simple, yet so clever that solving it is a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unlike the first two "Quell" games ("Quell" and "Quell Reflect"), I'm going to not recommend "Quell Memento." Like them, the game is beautifully done. Unfortunately, the developer continued the trend of adding more and more to the game and ended up over-complexifying it. As Scotty said in "The Search for Spock:" "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." And that's what happened here. "Quell" was mostly fine with just a bit that was too complex (the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazingly thought out puzzle game, it is like nothing I've ever seen. If you like a true challenge, where you have to do every move right, but without the pressure of time, definitely get this. Not only that but the artwork, audio, and even the storyline all go together to create what I believe should be considered a masterpiece. The Quell Series just keeps getting better and better, perhaps they will astound me yet again with a fourth ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice puzzle game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With no doubt, it's the best of the three Quell, thanks to the diversity. But, to my opinion, it's worth playing all of them.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: Not recommending because the changes to the third game in the series make it more tedious and not in a fun way. While I do recommend the first two or the collection, as a stand alone I'd pass. I'm going to review Quell, Quell Reflect, and Quell Memento all in one because there's a lot of comparing I'm going to do. Essentially Quell and Quell Reflect are the same. The layout, menu, feel, goals are all the same. If you have one and loved it then get the other. The puzzles themselves…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best in the series, and about as good as puzzles games get.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good and fun puzzle game with a bigger variety of levels compared to [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/MouseWithBeer/recommended/344480?snr=1_5_9__402]Quell and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/MouseWithBeer/recommended/348430?snr=1_5_9__402]Quell Reflect. The UI is also reworked compared to them but still annoying with way too many submenus.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Serenity and puzzle go hand in hand, offering a journey that’s both soothing and engaging. As you navigate through a mesmerizing labyrinth of puzzles, a beautiful symphony plays in the background, becoming part of the game’s soul and immersing you in a peaceful experience. A gentle, guiding voice adds emotional depth and nostalgia, while the enchanting visuals draw you further into the magical world. The puzzles strike a perfect balance between challenge and charm, designed to be engaging and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For me this game was exactly what was promised: "a relaxing puzzle game" ... with surprisingly low price, polished looks and a fitting soundtrack. If you haven't played puzzle games, this is a good one to start.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed original "Quell" game but I have to say this is even better. +relaxed soundtrack +144 levels, you are not gonna complete this in 10 min :) +Much varied levels than in Quell. In Quell there were only few blocks, in Quell Memento there are twice as many. +Artwork is beautiful -Some of the levels were too hard for at least me :D This is great game for those who like puzzle/relaxed games. If you want interesting and brain-challenging pastime for few hours this game is for you! I'm…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought all three Quell's in a bundle pack. And so glad I did. I've now tried them all out and love them. All three are excellent. But in this one the speaker kind of breaks the relaxation. However, you can turn off voice without turning off anything else. I like that the it gives you total control over each aspect of the game. I'm now officially addicted to the Quell games. For the price fo the bundle, it's well worth it. I lose track of time while I'm playing, it's so relaxing and engrossing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I first played Quell on the iPhone 10 years ago and rediscovered it here. It is a cool puzzle game that definitely challenges your brain. The built-in guide makes the game easy to understand.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game The game is a very simple pathing puzzle game. You control a blue pixel blob. You can move in any direction, but once you start moving, you don't stop until you hit a wall. Basically this is the same game as the countless Russian "Chocolate Makes You Happy" ClickTeam Fusion asset flips infesting Steam. It's also been copy + pasted a few…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came for the puzzles Stayed for the music Cried for the story Wait. No. Real men. Don't. Cry...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell is a series of puzzle games with simple rules. One controls orbs through verious logic labyrinths to complete some tasks in as little amount of moves as possible. Quell Memento is the most complex game of the Quell series. It introduces a simple, but touching story. With solving levels an environment of first met ruined house slowly changes. Tasks to complete are not only collecting all pearls and finding a hidden gem but also turning lights on, lighting up cristals and looking for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The third game in the Quell series, Quell Memento offers 144 new puzzles (nearly double the 84 of the two previous games). While Quell Reflect introduced a couple of new puzzle mechanics to the tile-shifting gameplay, Quell Memento expands on this much further, with many more new puzzle type, used both on their own and in combination. As examples of these new mechanics, levels might not require all of the 'light' blocks in a level to be 'turned on' by passing next to them, or feature orbs that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Similar to Quell, this is a nice, relaxing puzzle game with no real time pressures to deal with. Level layouts can be analyzed before making moves, and trying out various moves also doesn't hurt, as they may help to get to solutions
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Smart game, nice music
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Similar to Quell: Reflect, I didn't play Memento until years after I played the original. The third installment adds plenty of new mechanics for players to challenge, making even those familiar with prior installments look deeper into potential solutions and secrets. That said, while I expected favorable gameplay, I didn't expect the underlying story. I could tell that there was something going on within Quell and Reflect, but as everything finally came together in Memento, I couldn't help…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Adds a lot of new systems on the previous Quell games, and some storyline. Still has some of the same issues of becoming overwhelming
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love all Quell games, you get a quality game for the asking price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just as enjoyable as the two games that came before (Quell and Quell Reflect), again adding quite a few new mechanics to the mix to keep things fresh (and, like between the first and second game, increasing the difficulty a fair bit).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another great game in the Quell series. if you have played the others then you know what you are in for as this is much the same with a little bit of a shake up. It is a solid puzzle game that does not get boring, and provides interesting puzzles from the first to the last.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is a puzzle game with narrative elements. Though the narrative portion of this game is pretty inconsequential, the puzzles themselves make a solid time. The game gets quite hard for the latter levels, but a comprehensive hint system balances things out for those who wish to utilize it. It even goes so far as to make the game too easy if abused, so it's up to the player to restrain themselves. Overall, this is a decent value for the price, especially if on sale. Quell Memento's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game with a decent puzzle experience, not too hard and not too easy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice, relaxing but sometimes challenging puzzle game. I have been fan of Quell series since it first came out on mobile platforms. Finished the game few times on my phone and again on here. Not much replayability after completing it 100% but you can go back to it every couple months or years and still relax and enjoy it. I only wish they made more Quell games. Totally recommending it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game! Getting all the achievements was tricky. And so was beating all levels.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice one. Casual enough yet forcing you to really use your brain, mostly in quite a polite and clever way though. And not all the time, which is good. Beautiful. Immersive as much as a puzzle game can be. Faking to be much harder than it really is at times and always being done with it before it gets annoying, so far ( (haven't completed it 100% yet but it's unlikely to be going to break this rule). And there's two more of its kind by the same name and the same developer, which is also good.…

I'm hooked on this game series. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have come across this type of puzzle in many point and click games and went looking for a stand alone game. Quell Memento is a perfect answer to my quest with great puzzles and smooth action. My only complaint is closing out the game is a bit difficult but doesn't take away from the games enjoyment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is a supertb puzzle game. Tastefully designed, intuitive to play and adequately difficult, with a few really tough challenges. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is an exceptional puzzle game that demonstrates how thoughtful gameplay and heartfelt storytelling can coexist in a deeply relaxing experience. Developed by Fallen Tree Games and published by Green Man Gaming Publishing, this installment expands upon the ideas introduced in earlier entries while presenting a more refined adventure that combines clever brainteasers with an emotional narrative. Rather than relying on flashy visuals or fast-paced action, the game invites players into…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A relaxing game full of memories
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Puzzle Game, Tons of level, Tons of variety Cheap Price. Totally worth your time 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is a wonderful puzzle experience. The puzzles are challenging but never frustrating, and I love the relaxing soundtrack and minimalist visuals. What surprised me most is the subtle story woven throughout—it gives the game an emotional layer that adds real depth. The game strikes a perfect balance between relaxation and mental challenge, making it a great choice for fans of thoughtful puzzle games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoyed the previous ones you'll enjoy this one too. It adds new mechanics and it's still really relaxing and satisfying.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much fun. Gets your thinker thinking. Sequels are also great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best Quell yet. They added a few new types of levels/maps and even combined types into one map. Intelligent level design and many hours of enjoyment. I had to use a guide for the perfect # of moves on about half levels due to impatience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quell Memento is the third game in Quell collection. It was fun and quite challenging! Graphics – 7/10 Sound – 7/10 Gameplay – 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"generic" grandpa love story soothing graphics and soundtrack new mechanics every new chapter does get a bit repetitive in the last few chapters though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun puzzle game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall = 9/10 Another fantastic addition to the series with its nostalgic style, relaxing atmosphere and this time, a story to slowly unravel. It adds in even more mechanics whilst keeping to the same core concept, making them easy to learn and the puzzles fun to overcome. The new hidden levels and more detailed menus are a great addition and the same relaxing music and style of play makes for some great puzzle solving times. Some of the levels are a bit more cluttered, the difficulty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one fixes the jewel tracking issues from the original game, but then adds another collectible that has *even worse* tracking and they are both still completely unexplained.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A puzzle game with stages that get more depressing (just like the story) as it progresses... "Nobody told me it was a field trip!" Somebody screamed. "WHO THE HELL WAS CUTTING ONIONS!?" Yelled another. "The perfect game to hand out to unsuspecting guests..." Chirped my Funeral Director.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The soundtrack of this game is gorgeous. I had been playing this game a lot when I was younger and now I finally got it on steam. I love it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just love this game No other words It's amazing the music, the story, the feelings. everything is perfect i hope they make more games like this!! :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In terms of simple puzzle games, it's as good as it gets. The puzzles start easy, but later become more complicated as new mechanics/objects are introduced. Some levels will require combining different mechanics. Hidden gems make the player look at the puzzle from a different perspective, and clock levels are an extra challenge for "100%" people. On top of all that, beautiful, relaxing music. Memento is my favourite, but other ones are great too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want really hard slider puzzles, then this is probably one of your best bets on Steam. You'd better also like classical music, cause you'll be hearing it for a long time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. 100%ed it then dreamed about it the whole next night.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fewer trial & error levels and better level design in general than in the original.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun little little mobile game, definitely worth your time. On a technical level, however, the port is terrible. I've had frequent fps dips when guiding the bubble along several switches and changing their colors, and even outside the game the menus feel a bit sluggish.
