## About This Game
La Memoire is a futuristic visual novel about longing and the struggle to
bring back lost memories, set in a future where humans live alongside
androids.
Story
The story takes place in the near future, where scientists and innovators have
created near-perfect androids to help humans with their daily necessities. At
first, they were only produced to help people in their homes, but then slowly
began to penetrate the industrial sector as workers. Soon, they were replacing
humans. Many were satisfied, but many were not. People began protesting
against the use of androids in the industrial sector, resulting in a
destructive revolt against androids by humans.
This led to severe damage in the industrial market. For the first time in
widespread human history, human rights won over deeply corrupt leaders and
governments, as there was nothing those in power could do to suppress the
protests of the people, who had nothing to lose from the androids having taken
their livelihood.
Today, androids are limited to performing housework or helping elderly people,
focusing only on serving humans. Even though laws were passed prohibiting the
use of androids beyond certain situations, there remains a black market for
people who attempt to use broken androids for activities like manufacturing
weapons, illegal dealings, and other shady activities. Thus, the world still
is not truly at peace.
After Inazuma Kazuya lost his mother for unknown reasons, his father, a
renowned scientist, took Kazuya to another city. But before Kazuya left, he
promised to play with his friend Kotobuki Risu for the last time, only to find
her killed in a car accident right in front of his eyes. Losing both his
mother and his friend brought Kazuya trauma, which he blamed himself for.
Years passed, and Kazuya decided to move back to Ringo City and enroll in a
private high school, Kiyoku High School. He determined that he was going to
find peace for himself at last, thinking that he couldn’t live with such guilt
forever. He lives in a mixed dorm with his new friends: Asami Mao, an
energetic yet caring girl; and a mysterious girl with a penchant for music,
Kamome Saaya.
For a time, Kazuya’s life went smoothly. Slowly but surely, he began to come
to terms with all that had happened in his past and started to make peace with
himself. But things turn upside down suddenly when Kazuya sees his once dead
childhood friend. His hand suddenly shivers and his face turns white. All the
memories about his childhood friend, accompanied by the guilt, sweep over him
like a torrent in a deep sea. Kazuya then approaches the girl and abruptly
asks her about everything he can. Much to Kazuya’s surprise, the girl doesn’t
seem to know him. She only introduces herself as Kotobuki Risu. Her voice, her
crimson-red eyes, her gesture, and everything else is just the same. Kazuya is
positive that she is Risu herself. But why doesn’t she remember him?

Inazuma Kazuya
An infamous transfer student known for his cool, composed, yet kind attitude.
Everyone also knows him as someone who is ‘not so good academically, but godly
in physical activities’; something proven his participation in many sports
clubs, which to this day beg him to join them or be a temporary member of
their tournaments. Despite his childhood traumas, he returned to Ringo City to
make peace with himself and his past, not knowing he’d meet his supposedly
dead childhood friend, Risu, once more.
Kotobuki Risu
The supposedly once-dead childhood friend of Kazuya. She was turned into an
android by her father because her father still wanted to see her smile, even
in death. She lost all of her emotions and memories in the process, leaving
her but an empty vessel of a ‘living’ android. She may appear precious and
fragile, but under her cute and doll-like appearance, she is actually the
strongest android in existence.
Asami Mao
Her smile is her best quality, and it’s something that everyone in Kiyoku High
School can tell you. Rumor has it she can melt even the coldest heart, Asami
Mao. Besides her cheerful, caring, and energetic nature, she has an abundant
love for felines. She is also a good engineer–she has a penchant for building
cute feline robots. How perfect can she be? None would seem to doubt her
perfection; that is, unless they happen to know about the hollowness of it
all. Her encounters with Kazuya changes her little by little, as she gradually
feels that Kazuya has the same pain as she does.
Kamome Saaya
A mysterious elegant girl who barely talks and has a sharp gaze. Because of
her dark stare, people often mistake her for being angry. She often got into
problems because of this, mainly with upperclassmen. She dreams of becoming a
great musician just like her mother once was. However, she struggles with this
dream because of her own traumas.
Kotobuki Ryuu
A newly transferred student who takes the entire school by storm. He
immediately overthrows Kazuya’s position as the most influential and popular
student in school. Compared to Kazuya, Ryuu can seemingly do anything slightly
better, and even more, he’s not a dimwit like Kazuya, and he is arguably more
charming.
Kazuya isn’t bothered by Ryuu’s existence however, or so he tells himself.
Yet, Ryuu claims to be Risu’s older problem, something Kazuya can’t accept –
not just because of him knowing her so well, but because he can’t remember her
even having siblings in the first place. Ryuu seems to know everything about
Risu however, and has decided to help Risu regain all her memories together
with Kazuya – but what is his real plan?
