Remember Me is set in Paris in the year 2084. The game depicts a dystopian future where the survellance state has come to prominence. 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 player controls Nilin (voiced by Kezia Burrows), a former employee of Memoryeyes and an elite memory hunter who is highly skilled in combat and can access and modifiy other people's memories.
Memoryeyes, fearful of her capabilities, have erased Nilin's memory and the game opens with Nilin imprisoned in the Bastille Prison. The player then sets out to reclaim Nilin's identity.
