It was released on 9 November 2018, two days before the centennial of the armistice. It is co-developed by DigixArt and Aardman Animations, and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. One of the game's main features is its visual style, inspired by impressionist art. Synopsis The game allows the player to play as two characters during World War I: Canadian photographer Harry Lambert (Elijah Wood) and German engineer Kurt Waldner (Sebastian Koch).https://www.alphr.com/games/1009182/11-11-memories-retold-release-date/ 11-11: Memories Retold is shaping up as one of 2018's most interesting games Alphr en 2019-04-18 1 October 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20231001112649/https://www.alphr.com/games/1009182/11-11-memories-retold-release-date/ live Both engage in the war for different reasons. Harry is attracted by the glory and the desire to seduce his childhood friend, so he decides to follow a major in search of a new war photographer. Kurt, working as an engineer, learns on the radio that his son's unit is missing and decides to join the German military to find him. Gameplay 11-11 Memories Retold takes place from a third-person perspective with the ability to choose between the two protagonists either at the beginning of the chapter, or freely in the middle during certain parts. Each character advances in the story with his own tools: Kurt has the ability to interact with different electrical devices, which make up some of the game's puzzles. Harry has a camera, which he can use to photograph different points of interest by showing the war in his best light for his superiors, or for himself. The game allows the player to control a cat and a pigeon during certain sequences.https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-11-09-11-11-memories-retold-released-today-is-a-wwi-game-about-normal-people-pushed-into-extraordinary-events 11:11 Memories Retold, released today, is a WW1 game about normal people pushed into extraordinary events Kent Emma 2018-11-09 Eurogamer en 2019-04-18 18 April 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190418175305/https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-11-09-11-11-memories-retold-released-today-is-a-wwi-game-about-normal-people-pushed-into-extraordinary-events live Development The game started development when DigixArt met people from Aardman at Games for Change Europe 2016. The developers said that they wanted to convey moments of humanity between the two sides. The art style for the game was based on a short film that Aardman created for the Imperial War Museum called Flight of the Stories. The short used 3D objects with a stylized impressionist style. Aardman said that they also tried styles that were influenced by WWI, such as Futurism and Cubism, but Aardman did not want a game that seemed low-poly, so they switched to an impressionist style. J. M. W. Turner, Claude Monet, and Aleksandr Petrov were the artists that Aardman credited with inspiring the game's style.11-11: Memories Retold - Vlog #2: A Living Painting - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwr6tD0bo2U 2020-12-14 www.youtube.com11-11: Memories Retold - Vlog #1 - The Vision - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLs0cQLYJ5k 2020-12-14 www.youtube.com Reception PC: 73/100https://www.metacritic.com/game/11-11-memories-retold/critic-reviews/?platform=pc 11-11: Memories Retold for PC Reviews Metacritic April 26, 2021PS4: 77/100https://www.metacritic.com/game/11-11-memories-retold/critic-reviews/?platform=playstation-4 11-11: Memories Retold for PlayStation 4 Reviews Metacritic April 26, 2021XONE: 77/100https://www.metacritic.com/game/11-11-memories-retold/critic-reviews/?platform=xbox-one 11-11: Memories Retold for Xbox One Reviews Metacritic June 23, 2021 58% recommendhttps://opencritic.com/game/6862/11-11-memories-retold 11-11: Memories Retold OpenCritic November 17, 2025 7/10 7/10Wildgoose David November 12, 2018 https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/11-11-memories-retold-review-modernist-warfare/1900-6417035/ 11-11: Memories Retold Review - Modernist Warfare GameSpot October 20, 2019 20 October 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191020132251/https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/11-11-memories-retold-review-modernist-warfare/1900-6417035/ live 18/20November 9, 2018 http://www.jeuxvideo.com/test/953452/11-11-memories-retold-un-conte-intimiste-au-coeur-de-la-grande-guerre.htm Test: 11-11: Memories Retold - Un conte intimiste au coeur de la Grande Guerre Jeuxvideo.com October 20, 2019 11-11: Memories Retold received "generally favourable reviews" for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and "mixed or average reviews" for Windows on Metacritic.
