XBlaze Lost: Memories (エクスブレイズ ロスト:メモリーズ EkusuBureizu Rosuto: Memorīzu) is a sequel to the 2013 visual novel Xblaze Code: Embryo developed by Arc System Works.[1] It was released in Japan for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on April 9, 2015[2] and North America on August 11, 2015 by Aksys Games.[3]

Synopsis

The protagonist, "Me", lives on the outskirts of the city of Ishana with her little sister in idyllic peace. However, that peace is shattered when "Me’s" sister disappears without a trace.

As panic begins to take a hold, "Me" starts running through increasingly more horrible scenarios in her mind: was she kidnapped? Or is her father, who performed dangerous experiments on his wife and eldest daughter, somehow behind it all? Rushing to her father’s workshop only served to confirm her fears, as the same strange azure light that appeared when her mother died was leaking once again through the cracks of the door...

After a single deep breath, "Me" opens the door and then wakes up without her memories in the "Phantom Field", a strange parallel world inhabited by a single person, the mysterious girl "Nobody". It is from this point that the protagonist begins her quest to find her sister, her memories, and uncover the origin of the Phantom Field.[4]

Gameplay

The protagonist unintentionally wanders into a mysterious alternate world known as the "Phantom Field" while searching for her missing sister. The Phantom Field is a strange place full of shifting pathways and traps to snare the unwary. Strange crystalline objects known as “Memory Fragments” are strewn throughout this place. In order to move on to the deeper levels of the field, players will have to find and gather these mysterious artifacts. Once you have gathered a certain number of Memory Fragments and make your way to the end of the level you’re on, Nobody will appear to quiz you on what you’ve learned.
