  Reminiscence in the Night felt like a cross between point and click and visual novels, with a passable story. This was a nice change of pace for the usual Ratalaika visual novels, The point and click aspect offered some good interactivity, and I found myself enjoying this more than some of the other titles. Of course, cheevo hunters will still be able to blast through this for some quick gamerscore as well.

  Choices that lead to different endings hold some appeal, but certain aspects of the script seriously lack. There’s also little balance between being cryptic and offering clarity. This release leaves you with questions but feels more rudimentary than sophisticated.

  Reminiscence in the Night tells an interesting story that often makes you feel too exposed to want to return and try to unlock one more of its multiple endings. However, there’s something about it that keeps you coming back to repeat the short narrative experience.

  Instead, Reminiscence in the Night is best when it tosses the gameplay aside and concentrates on what it wants to say. It’s a dream-like novella about memory and its ability to lift us out of the dead-ends we create for ourselves, and – appropriately – it manages to stay with you after its short fifteen minutes is over.
