It is somewhat rare for the crew here at Bloody-Disgusting to write about mobile games, but we might have to make an exception for third-person iOS survival horror Forgotten Memories.
The game, which was in development for an astounding six years, is getting a director’s cut, scheduled to be released in early 2016. Developer Psychoz Interactive is currently working on a PS4, PS3, and Vita version, as well as Android and Steam ports. There is a rumored Wii U version of Forgotten Memories on the way, in addition, but it appears as though the plan for that port might be on the back burner to make way for the director’s cut.
Fans of survival horror games who have played all the Resident Evils and Silent Hills out there might be tempted to give Forgotten Memories a chance. First of all it’s a beautiful-looking game — almost too good to be believed for mobile platforms — and it stimulates all the pleasure centers a good survival horror game manages to hit.
The game, which follows Rose Hawkins, a woman in search of a lost girl named Eden in a psychiatric hospital, has drawn specific comparisons to Silent Hill, and with good reason. Guy Cihi and Dave Schaufele, actors on Silent Hill 2 did some voice acting for Forgotten Memories.
Forgotten Memories is currently $3.99 on iOS. There is no word on pricing for the director’s cut, at present. Stay tuned for more information as it is released.
