I see you have improved yourself,by alot if we compare with your previous game "Heat" yet I think story is kinda fuzzy didnt put much thought about it but here is my theory on a short version.
Heat created Light cause of lonelyness,He killed her mother..cat,When the guilt came heavy,he slipped away from reality,Somewhere in the game it mentioned that Heat got"bruses" from her mother,Which child abuse can be result of Schizoprenia,At the time where katherine had a car crash,I think Katherine declined her,and in the result He pushed her..but heat changed his memories he remembered it like he wanted to be,So he put Light in a guilty position,reason of all these things happened to him,but in the end he came to his sense's and decided to end it all..one question who is "Sam" which is mentioned in your previous game
Reviews for "Cold Memories"
I'm a bookworm, but I lost interest pretty early.
*Ahem* Time to give a huge critic.
I am a huge fan of Key's VN's as it seems you are because of you using their songs in your games. I was ok with that as you had given credit for that, though I can not forgive that you had taken a backround without saying so (in your comments as usual) from one of their games. Also the hit boxes were still too big, there is no roof and you can jump over objects by going off screen.
I was very disappointed with the terrible backrounds that were nothing but a powerpoint backround hue. The game text transitions went by fast and were not click activated as to give time to reader to read them (they went by without me being able to read it). and the game was also very very long without enough play. The time for that would've been reduced had there been a way to speed up text appearance. There was also no level/stage select so if you had gotten stuck (which I almost did several times) you would've had to restart.
I will say that the story is one of a kind but would've been better in a different game type. If you just wanted to tell a story you would've had a better chance making a simple VN that is static. For the many of terrible fails this had I have to give this a 2, and I expect a fix from this.
I broke it. Apearently in the first level where you bring kathrine with you into the alternate reality or whatever it is, you can get stuck in the top left-most floating platform. Good story from what i read, but im not going to replay the whole thing just to finish it....
cool game but just at the last boss the game crashed and it took me a ton of time to mke all the storya again . 3.5
music is awsome
graphics meh minimalist i can say
dialogues were ok but nice you finished a dialog and press again the same dialog starts again . that should be fixed and there were some glithes too
