(Image: Nintendo)Īgain channeling Myst, Another Code plops you on its landmass to investigate with little guidance, asking you to piece together its history. His family’s story is frankly more compelling than Ashley’s. Also, Ashley collects other items of note, storing them in her inventory until they’re required to solve a brainteaser.Īstute surveyors will deduce D’s real identity as early as the first chapter, but that doesn’t matter much. Her father, an accomplished scientist, invented it, and the DAS can take and overlay photographs and read the data cards hidden throughout the mansion (some of which are mandatory to find). Ashley also carries her own DS with her, the DAS (or DTS in Trace Memory ). But a handful of them utilize the DS hardware in legitimately clever ways (the reflection puzzle is a highlight). Several puzzles across the game impede Ashley, most of which are admittedly simple. Generally, each area has three or four sections you can investigate. When examining something, the bottom screen’s perspective zooms in on Ashley’s viewpoint, letting you click on conspicuous objects. The DS’s bottom screen offers an overhead perspective of Ashley, while the top one displays a Myst -esque pre-rendered still depicting your current location.
Why did Ashley’s dad feign his death, isolate himself on Blood Edward Island, and where is he hiding? And who is D, and what happened to him?Ĭontrols are simple you can move with the D-pad and inspect things with the A button, or perform both by using the touch screen. As both struggle with unanswered questions regarding their respective histories, they decide to work together. Shortly thereafter, she gains a travelling companion in D, an amnesiac ghost of a young boy who’s lingered across the island for years. Some time passes without her return, so Ashley decides to venture out in pursuit of her missing relatives. Surprisingly, he doesn’t greet them at the dock, spurring Jessica to go look for him. But here’s the thing: it turns out Ashley’s father, Richard, is not only alive, he’s the one who invited them to the inlet. She’s accompanied by Jessica, her older cousin and guardian, who raised Ashley after her parents died eleven years ago. Ashley Mizuki Robbins, on her fourteenth birthday, is sailing to Blood Edward Island, contemplating her invitation there. (Image: Nintendo)Īnother Code opens quietly. This is my first time playing through the former, so how does it, and the game it services, hold up?Īnother Code is Cing’s second title altogether, succeeding the obscure PlayStation 2 exclusive Glass Rose. Curiously, Another Code received two different English localizations, one by Nintendo of Europe and the other by Nintendo of America, which also renamed the game Trace Memory. Both were developed by the now-defunct Cing in cooperation with Nintendo. It’s a brilliant experience oozing personality and a distinct noir aesthetic, and Another Code is its direct precursor. The DS is a significant system for me it was the first (and only) system I bought at launch, it was the first I bought fully with my own money, and it houses my all-time favorite game, Hotel Dusk: Room 215. However, I made another breakthrough last September: I finished Another Code: Two Memories and, by extension, my Nintendo DS backlog (at least until I purchase a few stray titles I’ve had my eye on). Thanks to AShadowLink for helping with edits.īeating my backlog has been an ongoing struggle. Beat the Backlog: Another Code: Two Memories (Trace Memory)
