Memento Mori is an adventure video game developed by Czech company Centauri Production in 2008.
Memento Mori is a classic point-and-click adventure game. The game switches between two characters. In some parts you play as Max Durrand but in others you play as Larisa Svetlova. The player can make some decisions during the game. The game has six endings, which occur based on the player's decisions.
There is an alarm failure in the Hermitage Museum and Colonel Ostankovich suspects that something has happened. He decides to find Maxim Durrand, a history professor and former criminal, to find out what happened. Max is forced to help Ostankovich if he doesn't want to have troubles due to his past. In the search for the stolen paintings Max and Lara (mostly on their own) visit the Hermitage, an old library, the Interpol's headquarters in Lyon, the residence in Scotland and further locations. They interrogate the suspects, search for data, break codes and discover forgeries. All their journeys finally lead Max, accompanied by his brother, to the Finnish cloister. Strange deaths, secret signs and increasingly weird behavior of Max's brother André and of those around him force Max to the very edge of sanity.
The story is set in various places in Europe. The player can get to Saint Petersburg, Lyon, Finnish Church, Lisbon and Scotland.
The game received mixed to positive reviews from critics.[2] [3] [4]
The sequel was released in 2012 in Germany. Due to problems at its publisher, Dtp entertainment, the game had to wait for its worldwide release until May 13, 2014.[5] [6] [7]
