Neo-Paris. 2084. Personal memories can now be digitized, bought, sold, and traded. The last remnants of privacy and intimacy have been wiped away by what seemed like the logical continuation of the explosive growth of social networks at the beginning of the 21st century. The citizens themselves have accepted this kind of surveillance society as a compromise for the comfort that advanced technology can provide. This memory economy grants immense power over society to only a handful of people.
Remember Me™ is a third-person action-adventure game in which players take on the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to infiltrate people's minds and both steal and alter their memories.

This quest for her past ultimately leads her to be hunted by those responsible for creating this surveillance society.
