{{quote|<Godbot> .memoria is this adventure game you play without reading the manual<br />
<Godbot> and you black out for the first 20 minutes<br />
<Godbot> and then start playing with a broken controller<br />
<Godbot> and you're a bit wasted<br />
<Godbot> but it's like the best game ever so you just have to keep playing!|Forum member Godbot, describing .Memoria rather accurately.}}

'''''.Memoria''''' is an ongoing [[Interactive Comic|MSPA Forum Adventure]] (a comic unrelated to ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' but maintaining the same "faux adventure game" format, hosted on the ''MS Paint Adventures'' forums), written and drawn by forums user Engineclock. Stare in helpless fascination as a [[Armless Biped|marvelous, mysterious biped]] with [[Easy Amnesia|hollywood amnesia]] traipses about and causes a scene.
 
Of course, there's more to it than that.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
Aforementioned biped Nyroti finds himself entrapped in an escalating conflict centering around something known as "The Lock". He proceeds to have run-ins with psychotic robots, horrible monsters, and, most importantly, hats.
 
Well-known for its unique narrative style, its excellent visuals, and its [[Mind Screw|slightly confusing plot]]. Its forum thread and discussion box can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20110909014138/http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?28371-.Memoria here],{{dead link}} and an MSPA-styled mirror can be found [httphttps://nixshadowweb.archive.comorg/web/20210304201254/https://mspfa.com/?s=67 here].

=== Tropes exemplified in .Memoria ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Geometries]]: The Far Periphery certainly qualifies.
* [[Always Night]]: The Far Periphery, naturally.
* [[Art Shift]]: For several updates, the art style shifted to all-pencil, as well as watercolor. This had more to do with the author's tablet breaking than anything else.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Most notably, Nyroti.
{{quote| There are two structures immediately visible to you. One looks like it might be a ridiculously large series of aqueducts; the other is a group of tall OH MY GOD IS THAT THE SUN}}
{{quote| You love the sun. It is the shiniest thing of all.}}
 
* [[Big Creepy -Crawlies]]: Nyroti encounters a particularly large worm creature at one point. It isn't friendly.
{{quote| You love the sun. It is the shiniest thing of all.}}
* [[Big Creepy Crawlies]]: Nyroti encounters a particularly large worm creature at one point. It isn't friendly.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Nyroti does this all the time.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: {{spoiler|Nathaniel, after being revived by Roderick, isn't quite the same as he was. Partially because of possession by a ghost.}}
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Caliginosity is black and blue, Effulgence is white and red. Remember that, kids.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Certainly. The world is being torn apart by the conflict, huge monsters roam the lands, etc.
Line 50 ⟶ 48:
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: By the same token as [[Dark Is Not Bad]], beings of light are not any better than those of dark, and are more often than not painted in a negative light.
* [[Madness Mantra]]: Bellcat in the regular world. Nyroti also delves into this at times.
{{quote| stop stop stop stop let us go let go let go stop stop let go let go}}
* [[Malevolent Architecture]]: The ?? building certainly qualifies, considering that {{spoiler|it's controlled by (or rather, is) S.A.D.I.E.}}
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: PIMPTHANIEL
* [[Mind Screw]]: The plot can quite unclear at times.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Immediately after [https://web.archive.org/web/20110901035528/http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?28371-.Memoria&p=4660431&viewfull=1#post4660431 this] [[Tear Jerker]] (spoilers), forum member Anomaly begins his incredibly silly [https://web.archive.org/web/20110908073153/http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?28371-.Memoria&p=4681707&viewfull=1#post4681707 intermission].
* [[Nice Hat]]: Nyroti and Nathaniel, though the former loses it fairly quickly.
* [[The Chosen One]]: Nyroti seems to be this, but he's really not very good at it.
