Asemblance, the debut game from indie developer Niloh Studios promises to be the first part in a new psychological sci-fi anthology series that takes inspiration from a number of classics like The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. So then, how does the first episode or installment fare? Well, we've kind of forgotten. Because you see, there's this memory machine. And after storing all our memories on it, you can call them 'reviews', we've had our mind drives wiped.

Oh wait, here's an excerpt from Assemblance.memoryfile0034

Okay, so what’s Asembance? Well in broad terms the game centres around a memory machine, a device that lets people relive their memories. For what purpose, we don’t really know. The game begins with alarm bells ringing, confusion, and a nice sounding but you-can-tell-it’s-going-to-totes-not-be-at-some-point AI giving you some basic instructions on how to operate the machinery. The first memory, a pleasing outdoor cliff side with the sun shining and grass swaying in the wind, is the first of a handful of memories that serve as the focal point of trying to figure out who you are, how you got there, and that age-old psychological sci-fi classic ‘what the hell is going on’.
