Memoranda has an incredibly beautiful art style, coupled with great voice acting and original music. I really enjoyed how the protagonist has a slight lisp - making her imperfect and yet "simple" is a great counterpoint with the surrealism of the game - opera singer cats, elephants on the run. Also, even the human characters in the game are brimming with personality through their actions, personality, hobbies or appearance. It's a really colourful and varied game with the goal of finding the protagonist's escaped name, and to help her get some sleep after weeks of insomnia :)
Gameplay-wise it's a user-friendly point and click, that is a bit harder than recent games, for example the Wadjeteye games. It requires some attention to detail in environment / sounds (sometimes taking notes is useful) similarly to the old Lucasarts games, while lacking the typcal moon logic. On the contraty - surrealism makes it weirder, and sometimes harder than a "normal" game would be, so it's middle ground in unusual solutions. A fellow player made walkthrough for the game that is available on Steam, the game is accessible for people who just want a story and the amazing looks
It was a really awesome experience, I really fell in love with its visual and audio design :)
