Jan. 2026
Memory's Dogma CODE:01, developed by Liz-Arts and published by Sekai Project, is a science-fiction visual novel that places emotional trauma and speculative technology at the center of its narrative. Set in a near-future Japan where memories can be digitized and preserved after death, the game opens on a deeply personal note, following college student Hiroki Kusuhara as he grapples with grief, guilt, and suicidal thoughts after the sudden loss of his close friend Sorano Mizunashi. From its earliest moments, the game establishes a somber, introspective tone, framing its futuristic premise through the lens of human vulnerability rather than technological spectacle. The central concept of “e-Memory” technology is the backbone of the experience. In this world, memories of the deceased can be stored, replayed, and interacted with through specialized facilities, blurring the line between remembrance and artificial continuation of life. This idea is handled with genuine ambition, raising ethical and emotional questions about whether preserving memories offers comfort or simply prolongs pain. The game frequently returns to this tension, using Hiroki’s psychological state as a way to explore how memory can both heal and harm. At its best, Memory’s Dogma is most compelling when it leans into these quiet, uncomfortable questions rather than overt plot twists. Visually and technically, the game stands out among mid-budget visual novels. Character art is clean and expressive, with designs that balance anime stylization and grounded emotion. The use of animated cut-ins and motion sequences adds cinematic flair to key moments, helping heighten emotional impact during dramatic scenes. Full Japanese voice acting across the cast significantly enhances immersion, lending authenticity to character interactions and giving weight to moments of despair, tension, and fleeting warmth. The soundtrack complements this presentation well, favoring atmospheric and melancholic compositions that reinforce the game’s reflective mood rather than overpower it. As the narrative unfolds, the story expands beyond its initial focus on grief and memory, introducing a larger cast and a growing conspiracy tied to the misuse of e-Memory technology. While these developments add scope, they also introduce pacing and focus issues. The story sometimes struggles to balance its intimate emotional core with broader science-fiction intrigue, resulting in stretches where new characters and subplots feel underdeveloped or only loosely connected to the main themes. This unevenness can dilute the emotional resonance established early on, making parts of the middle section feel less cohesive than the opening acts. Player choice plays a noticeable role in shaping the experience, with multiple decision points that can lead to premature bad endings or steer the story back onto its primary route. These choices are occasionally timed, adding tension but also pressure that can feel abrupt rather than organic. While the branching structure suggests replayability, many paths feel more like cautionary detours than fully fleshed-out alternatives, reinforcing the sense that this installment is laying groundwork rather than delivering a complete narrative arc. The conclusion, in particular, feels intentionally open-ended, clearly positioning CODE:01 as the first chapter of a larger story rather than a standalone experience. Despite its narrative inconsistencies, Memory’s Dogma CODE:01 succeeds in creating a distinctive emotional atmosphere. The combination of strong audiovisual presentation, thoughtful core themes, and moments of genuine character introspection leaves a lasting impression, even when plot execution falters. It is a game that prioritizes mood and ideas over tight storytelling, and as a result, it resonates most with players who value concept-driven science fiction and emotional exploration over narrative precision. Overall, Memory’s Dogma CODE:01 is an ambitious visual novel that reaches for depth through its examination of memory, loss, and the consequences of technological intrusion into human grief. While it does not always fully realize its potential and occasionally stumbles in pacing and narrative clarity, its strengths in atmosphere, presentation, and thematic intent make it a noteworthy entry in the sci-fi visual novel space. For players willing to accept an unfinished arc and engage with heavy emotional material, it offers a reflective and thought-provoking experience that lingers beyond its final scene. Rating: 7/10

it's okay, and there's definitely some flaws with the plot. The art and music is really sick though.

✅ Visual novel with a thrilling sci-fi/fantasy story, nerve-wracking moments and a dark plot. Very underrated and under-popular ✅ The voice-overs are excellent ✅ Artstyle looked very good ✅ Soundtracks are just amazing ❌ Achievements does not work and is broken ❌ Choices were just unnecessary, they just lead to a bad ending and only 1 of the 2 choices were always correct. Also the choice timer was stupid design ❌ Game does not start in fullscreen mode ❌ A lot of things were unexplained (especially the lack of presence for the new characters after they were introduced. It was really weird that they never appear in story again) The name :01 implies this is one of the first game, I would love to see the sequels to better explain what happened. Although it's been close to a decade now, so maybe all hope is lost for a sequel...
