Meg’s Monster – Lost Memories DLC – Returning to an Old Friend
Meg’s Monster was one of those rare narrative RPGs that stuck with me after the credits rolled. So discovering new DLC felt a bit like bumping into an old friend you didn’t expect to see again. Lost Memories doesn’t overhaul the original experience; instead, it adds a small but meaningful set of stories that gently expand the world in all the right places.
It’s a short package, five stories that total under two hours, but it hits with surprising emotional strength.
Five Stories, Five Perspectives
To keep things spoiler-free, all you really need to know is that each chapter focuses on a different character tied to the main game. Four stories unlock immediately, and the fifth becomes available once you’ve finished those. Even in their brief runtime, these tales manage to tap into the same emotional energy that made the main game resonate so strongly.
One features an MMA fighter struggling to support his sick brother. Another explores a mother–daughter dynamic that quickly becomes more layered than it first appears. Two stories take place squarely in the Underworld (a place where the monsters dwell), expanding on the strange, melancholy ecosystem that Meg’s Monster fans already know well. And the final chapter gives one of the main game’s central characters a bit more spotlight, just enough to make you rethink moments from the original story.
Each vignette hits surprisingly hard. It’s impressive how Odencat manages to tug on your heartstrings so quickly, weaving emotional weight into such compact chapters.
Presentation and Atmosphere
The art direction remains consistent with the original: simple, colourful pixel work that expresses emotion with minimal details. Characters still have that immediately recognisable look.
But the real star, just like before, is the soundtrack. The music slides in at the perfect moments, often lifting a scene into something far more affecting than you’d expect from such a small slice of gameplay. It has that same “quietly devastating” energy you might remember from games like To The Moon, which is high praise.
Minimal Gameplay, but Enough
Much like the main game, gameplay is not the focus. You’ll see light interactions here and there: choosing attack moves, hitting a small timing-based cue, and arranging simple puzzle inputs. Nothing demanding, nothing stressful. Combat is sparse and intentionally toned down.
Lost Memories uses its short playtime to deliver narrative beats without any filler. It’s very much a “sit back and experience it” kind of DLC.
Lore Lovers, Rejoice
One nice addition for fans is the collection of lore files you unlock after completing each chapter. These add flavour to the world and give some tidy context to characters you might have wondered about during the main game. It’s not essential reading, but it’s a lovely bonus and shows that the developers really care about the universe they’ve built.
Conclusion: Should You Play It?
If you enjoyed Meg’s Monster, the answer is a very easy yes. Lost Memories feels like a gentle wave from a series you probably didn’t expect to revisit. It adds emotion, context, and warmth without overstaying its welcome. Its only real drawback is its length, you’ll be done quickly, but I’d argue its brevity is part of its strength.
If, however, you haven’t played the original, definitely start there first. The main game has a free demo, and it remains one of the most heartfelt narrative RPGs in the indie space. Play that, fall in love with these characters, and then come back for this DLC.
Final Verdict: I like it a lot
