In regards to the voice acting there is a lot of it. The classes are based on typical teen tropes and can be called cliched, perhaps insulting to a few, but they fit with the game’s (and I mean game in the sense of a spinoff having its own identity while honoring its legacy) whimsical nature, stemmed from Wayforward’s well known affinity to animated and stylized titles. With such a power comes consequences–the first being cast into the Otherworld to fight off the town’s projected enemies.įive character classes can be chosen at the start of the game: Jock, Preppy, Goth, Rocker and Bookworm. Given the Book of Memories on his or her birthday, the player created protagonist gains the ability to change reality in his or her favor.
In true Silent Hill fashion, the story juggles supernatural and psychological themes but in a new, although familiar way.īook of Memories is a game about perception of one’s own reality. Beneath that surface lies fragments of a story that is ultimately affected by your in-game actions. On the surface, Book of Memories is a stylized dungeon crawler with a Silent Hill coat of paint. After spending quite some time with the game offline and online, I can confidently say that I’m pleased with the end result. What I wanted most from this game was for it to be fun on its own merit, while honoring the series’ roots. Despite Silent Hill being my favorite videogame series, I play a large variety of games.
While Book of Memories’ announcement surprised me just as much as others, I was willing to give it a chance as long as it was fun and engaging. Stats, floating numbers, attribute bonuses, spells, damage multipliers…the whole nine yards. Spawned from a well established–iconic even–survival horror series, Book of Memories surprised a lot of people by being a dungeon crawler RPG with multiplayer. What there is no denying is how different Book of Memories is from its sibling games. Some call it an abomination, others, a harmless spinoff. Silent Hill Book of Memories is a strange creature.
