Remember Me features platforming, exploration and melee combat.[3][4] The game is played as Nilin from a third-person view and introduces the mechanic of memory remixing: entering and rearranging a target's memories to manipulate them. Players accomplish this by replaying a memory and modifying details to change the target's recollection of the outcome.[4] Another key mechanic of the gameplay is stealing memories from certain targets and using points called Remembranes to replay the memory in real-time: this is often needed to proceed through the game or avoid hazards otherwise hidden from the player.[5] When the player is low on health, the screen will glitch until a sufficient amount of health is regained.[6] On occasion, Nilin encounters puzzles in the form of riddles she must solve to unlock doors so as to further progress in the story.[7][8]
