Each level in Momento has a series of puzzles that you can solve to earn new décor (many of which are easter eggs for games we love) 🧩 This can take multiple runs, but our new Wall of Memories makes it much easier by letting you pop in and solve what you need! How many puzzles have you solved?

A beautiful review from The Phrasemaker! Read the full piece here: thephrasemaker.com/2026/07/04/m...
A Surprisingly Emotional Journey
What took me aback was how emotional the story became. You piece together Sam’s life as they grow up by interacting with objects, reading letters, and reading texts on their phone. You get to choose the dreams they follow and the path it takes them down, and like any normal human being, they experience the beauty of growing up, and the inevitable and unavoidable heartbreaks we experience in life.
