Do you want to remember your life?

We played a game tonight where each player takes on the persona of an amnesiac who has signed up for radical memory recall treatment. Throughout the game, you pretend to be this person who remembers nothing of their past, and between you and the others, you determine what your happiest memory is, your most unpleasant memory, and the events that lead to your amnesia.

At the end of the game, you're asked one question, do you want to remember your life? If you say yes, then you remember everything, and your life continues on from the point where the amnesia kicked in. However, your memories are determined not just by yourself, but also with the input of the other players. And they may help you remember things that you would rather not know about yourself. What you've said. What you've done. It may turn out that the you sitting there undergoing the treatment might not like the person you now remember you are. You may not want to remember your life.
