Remember Me (previously known as Adrift) is a cyberpunk third person action-adventure video game, developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Capcom. The game released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on June 4, 2013.
In the future, memory manipulation and "augmented reality" have become commonplace. Memories are stored electronically and as an accepted price, they must be scanned and uploaded or downloaded. During this process, it's possible for others to see your memories and a Black Market for memories has formed. The protagonist, Nilin, was one of the best operatives at stealing hidden memories, but along the way somebody erased her own memory and now she's determined to figure out why.
The last bits of your privacy are being lost as a simple extension of the development of social networks and geolocation at the beginning of the 21st century. This was first step to losing our way of living. This “surveillance society” has been accepted by the people themselves, in exchange for few technological benefits.
In fact no one fights against this system or attempts to change the way things are.
This society based on memory control gives an immense but difficult power to a select few. The principles of the remixing of long and short term memories is explored, both for the gameplay and on the consequences on the NPC (non-player character). To enter into someone's memories offers a more intimate approach with your targets and each kill becomes profound and intense.
