February 8, 2019

fanservice/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PQube/PS4 Review/Reviews/Song of Memories/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Song of Memories is certainly an eye-opening little visual novel. In fact, it’s greatest strength is its ability to constantly knock you off guard by doing the least expected thing possible.
