Another Code: Recollection, is a remake of two games that were originally on the DS and Wii (Another Code: Two Memories and Another Code: R). These games are essentially point-and-click adventures with puzzle elements and some great visual novel-style storytelling that digs into family secrets, memory, and loss. You play as Ashley, a young girl trying to uncover memories of her past while helping others do the same. See, the name is clever because it’s a “re-collection” and also a “recollection”. The …

Another Code:R (Wii): COMPLETED!

It’s the only thing I’ve played since my last post (well, aside from the usual iPhone trio of Words with Friends, Carcassonne, and THPS2), and somehow over the weekend and today I plugged enough hours into it in order to finish it last night. I was convinced there was only an hour or two left, so started at 8:30 this evening and – well – it was almost midnight when I’d read the end credits. As with CiNG’s other titles …

Before I rushed back into Super Mario Galaxy 2 to get a load more stars, I decided to play something else I’ve had on my To Do list for ages. Something a bit different to Bioshock 2 and Mario. So I chose point-and-clicker Another Code:R for the Wii. I played, loved, and completed the original on the DS what seems like ages ago. Oh, it was – just over 5 years ago! Good lord. 5 years in real life have …

Gosh – that was quick! According to the game clock, it took me five hours 43 minutes in total, but the story was so good it was still well worth playing. I’ve found out about both D’s and Ashley’s pasts, used Another, found Jessica and Richards, and seen the credits. Hurrah!

The story in this is great, but I don’t want to reveal too much here for fear of spoiling it for anyone. Ditto the puzzles from here on in. Which I realise leaves me not very much to talk about while I’m playing it, but that’s the way it is. So there. Anyway, I’m up to Chapter 3 now, and am finding more and more out about the Edward family who lived in the mansion. I have a few ideas …

Inside the mansion, there are more puzzles to solve. They’re not that difficult yet though, still. I had to takes some photos and superimpose one over the other, I had a slide puzzle to do, and some books and to rearrange. I just need to find some more books…

In an unusual step, Nintendo released this game here in Europe before the US release, so I had to break my 20-odd strong run of imported DS games and buy my first European title. And, it’s very good. It is pretty much a Myst-like point and click adventure, with a story involving a young girl named Ashley who has found her not-actually-as-dead-as-she’d-thought Dad is actually alive and well on an island. Taking a trip over there, she loses her aunt, …
