Ever since I started playing Another Code: Recollection for the Nintendo Switch, a single thought has pervaded every corner of my brain. Any clever puzzle I solve, I think it. Every bit of dialogue, I think it. I especially think it every single time I have to somewhat jankily move from one place to another. What I can't stop thinking is actually rather simple: I cannot believe that this even exists at all.
That's not to say Another Code: Recollection is bad by any means. But in an effort to call it like it is, let's go over the details: it's a "fully enhanced" duo of mystery/adventure/puzzle games, Another Code: Two Memories and Another Code: R - A Journey into Lost Memories. The first came out nearly 20 years ago for the Nintendo DS (under the name Trace Memory here in North America) and the second was 15 years ago for the Wii – and that one didn't even make it to the North American market.
