the best way to describe remember11 is fuck you. it is as unorthodox as it is complex with no desire to tell you what you are even reading. you are instead taunted into figuring it out on your own. however, it does not actually care if you understand it as its only goal is to guilt the player. by understanding what remember11 is, you understand that you're a terrible person for reading it in the first place. you are purposely denied any sense of fulfillment for completing it that is inherent to conventional storytelling. there are no rewards waiting for you at the finish line, only infinite loops. consequently, this raises several questions toward the nature of its creation. there are misconceptions going around that claim it is 'unfinished' or was hindered from 'troubled development'. many people choose to subscribe to this notion as these claims primarily stem from the creator himself. however, this is clearly false as the story is told in the only fashion appropriate to its own themes. remember11 was never meant to be a visual novel created by humans. remember11 is a visual novel that created itself by tricking humans into believing they were ever in control. in willing itself to existence, remember11 stands as both the best and worst experience you'll have with visual novels.
