    ASTONISHING RETRO-INSPIRED JRPG WHERE YOU CAN ROMANCE, MARRY, AND EVEN HAVE A PERSONAL ROBOT

    FORLORN MEMORIES IS A JRPG THAT PROMISES COMPLEX AND DEEP SOCIAL MECHANICS AND LOTS OF FREEDOM.

    Lately, I've been focusing on JRPGs, and I recently compiled a list of 20 of the most promising Japanese Role-Playing Games set to be released in the coming months and years. The game I'm presenting you today wasn't included in that article simply because it was discovered a few days later, but everything that Forlorn Memories has to offer is truly amazing.

    Forlorn Memories is a fantasy JRPG packed with numerous features that go beyond the typical conventions of this genre. The first thing that stands out is the impressive graphic style, which is notable considering it's the work of an indie studio, or rather, a solo developer named Forlorn Alex. Characters are in a chibi style during exploration and appear normal during combat and everything around it's just impressive.

    From what I could gather from the screens, the combat involves a behind-the-character perspective and showcases various moves in a cinematic style. There also seems to be a system of strengths and weaknesses to exploit.

    Outside of combat, there is an extensive and complex exploration dynamic. Players can roam the game world in numerous ways, such as riding different creatures or even using their own robots. This robot can be upgraded by discovering and collecting resources within the game world.

    There's also the option to develop a private garden or focus on crafting and alchemy, everything accompanied by profound social mechanics that allow the 20 playable characters to form relationships with each other or with numerous NPCs, potentially even leading to marriage.
