I've decided to update this from Not Recommended to Recommended, because I still think this game is very fun, and I think that message got lost in my review at the time I wrote it years ago. It's fun, it's not perfect, and there are things I love and things I don't, and things that appeal to me that I think would absolutely not appeal to other people.

I've left the original review below:

Given their eyes, I can only assume that everyone in this is secretly a cyborg trying to pass as a human being. This creates a much better understanding of some of the incomprehensible social decisions several of the characters make, and the main character's extreme lack of characterization until she interacts with everyone more. Best Artificial Intelligence. Clearly, the fairy is only there as a navigational system for the AI's judgment calls.

It has a lot of things going for it...and a lot of things completely not. As one of the initial otome games to be released stateside, I was eager to support more of a genre coming out and bought it the day of its release.

I'll try to encapsulate the pros and cons as succinctly as possible.

PROS:
- You play the cutest character in the game (or maybe that's not a pro)
- The game itself clearly thinks succumbing to the whims of a creepy stalking and controlling boyfriend is a bad idea, and tells you so if you actually get a certain character's good ending by questioning your taste.
- It's another otome in the market that's fun, even if it isn't stellar.
- The final route is pretty damn fun.
- Shin is probably one of the most refreshingly sensible characters I've seen in a visual novel when it comes to using his brain. I just wish he didn't look like a Hot Topic victim, though if he was the only one who did, it would make more sense as a style choice? Everyone dressing this way was pretty bizarre.
- Ukyo.
- I can only assume that every single character in this is secretly a cyborg trying to pass as a human, given their eyes.
- Has one of the most healthy relationships I've seen in the Clover route, though it's also one of the most boring routes to me ever. I would've much preferred it if the Clover route had more of a murder mystery going for it, with Ken being extremely helpful and aiding the character or...something. I dunno, that route REALLY NEEDS SOMETHING, but it still gets in the PRO section due to the rarity of a sane relationship in otome games.

CONS:
- TOMA, for a lot of people will be a con.
- A lot of Ukyo's appearances are less intriguing than intended, even if I get the intention behind the portrayal, it's still a bit of a failure.
- Some of the style choices of the artwork itself is ridiculous, such as proportions and the like at certain angles. This is a preference thing and I probably wouldn't notice it as much if the men didn't look designed for the next Hot Topic Barbie Contest.
- Most of the routes are really, really, really uninteresting for me.

Ultimately I think a lot of people will love Amnesia...and a lot of people really won't. Ultimately, I recommend going for better visual novels, or better otomes, if that particular subgenre is what you're searching for.

Better Otomes in particular: Sweet Fuse for the PSP, Nameless on Steam, Hakuoki on PS3, VITA or PSP.
Better Visual Novels in general: Any visual novel with an interesting plot like Fate/Stay Night, Fruit of Grisaia (from what I've played; Haven't completed this one yet), or Nameless.
