A first look at Amnesia: Memories

Idea Factory is at it again, and I am always interested in a new IP. Here we have information on the basic story, some of the features and plenty of assets as well.

The press bits:

We've got your first set of English screenshots for Amnesia: Memories! In the game you choose your romantic path at the start, with each "World" corresponding to a different lover. With this batch, you get a taste of the Heart World with Shin and the Diamond World with Toma - two guys with very different personalities.

Amnesia: Memories will be available exclusively in digital format for the PlayStation®Vita system in August, with a Steam release following soon after! It will also be compatible with PlayStation®TV. In this visual novel, your life depends on hiding your recent loss of memory while you navigate complex relationships with five men. Will you be able to piece together that which was forgotten and rewrite the lasting love story you deserve, or will your love story come to an end?

About Amnesia: Memories
On the 1st of August, you awake as the Heroine, with previous memories of who you are somehow snatched away from you. In your confusion, a mysterious spirit named Orion appears to help you regain your memories. You'll explore your own world as a complete stranger, trying to understand what was once familiar all while hiding your condition from the five men close to you. Because, as Orion warns, you may jeopardize any chance of recovering your memories if anyone finds out. It's now up to you recover the past to rewrite your future love story!
