Memento Mori gameplay trailer now on display

The countdown is on for Memento Mori's release in Germany later this month, and while English gamers will need to wait a while longer yet, a new gameplay video of the upcoming thriller should help ease the wait.

In Memento Mori, a painting has been stolen from the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and replaced with a counterfeit. To avoid a scandal, the case is assigned to young Russian police officer named Lara, with help from a former art forger named Max. Players will control both characters as they venture from the Russian Winter Palace to such places as Scotland, France, Portugal and Finland, as the clues to the mysterious art theft put them hot on the trail of the Ikuinen Nukkuja (Eternal Sleeper), a secret order with strong beliefs about art and the Angel of Death.

The trailer includes more than three minutes of in-game footage, introducing the game's two protagonists and a few of the main locations. The download is over 130 MB, and can be found at the game's official website. The download link is currently displayed only in the recent news section on the home page, not to be confused with the cinematic trailer available in the Downloads section of the site, though presumably the new video will find its way there before long.
