Another Code: R - A Journey into Lost Memories is the sequel to the 2005 Nintendo DS game Trace Memory. The events take place two years after the original game. Ashley, the main character, had finally met her father. But even now, he seems more interested in his work than in his daughter. He hardly come back to home during week-ends, letting his sister, Jessica, take care of Ashley.

Suddenly, Ashley receives a message from her father. He is asking her to come to the Juliet Lake in order to spend some time together and to camp there. But as Ashley arrives at Juliet Lake, the reality seems different: someone steals her bag, and she has the feeling that she has already come here, a long time ago...

While the game is in 3D, it is mostly played on a 2D level during moves, and when investigating a place, the camera is on Ashley's shoulders. The game focuses on puzzles, which uses the Wiimote and mostly dialog. Since you are leading an investigation, you have the possibility to photograph any element you wish in order to help you later or use as a proof. But the game is linear, which means that all these actions has to be done in a correct (and most of the time obvious) order.
