The similarities between ''SH1'' and ''Shattered Memories'' are primarily in terms of character names; many new elements were introduced in ''Shattered Memories'', including a much-touted psychological survey which [[Content Warnings|tells players]] the game will be "[getting] in [their] head". This survey -- as well as a player's actions throughout the game -- will alter accessible areas, character appearances, and even characters' attitudes. ''Shattered Memories'' also alters nearly all the audio files and notes players find during the course of the game in subtle ways -- while the context of these "flashes" will be generally the same, the content will be subtly (but significantly) altered, which means no two playthroughs will be exactly the same.
