{{quote|''"'''''[http://memoria.valice.net/ Memoria]''''' is an adventure comic that takes place in a world similar to our own, and follows four friends as they try to both protect and learn the truth about it, all while going after a loved one."''
|'''Memoria website'''}}

An undisclosed amount of time after [[Mother 3]]'s [[No Ending|rather]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|ambiguous ending]], we have Memoria.

Memoria has a new [[Five-Man Band|chosen four]] go on a grand adventure, intially starting as a [[Brother-Sister Team]] that leave their hometown to look for their missing brother, meeting familiar and unfamiliar characters to the Mother fandom as their quest progresses; discovering new truths about the mysterious world they live in.

As the name suggests, this comic has a strong link to memories.
{{quote|''"There is power in your memories. Look deeply through your past, but reserve recalling your best times for moments when you really need to. Every time you relive a memory, the chemicals in your brain change how your mind perceives it. Eventually, your most precious moments may become a blur of truth and falsehoods. Memoria is a story about memory. There are few things more important."''|'''Gekko''', the series' writer.}}

The ultimate truth, according the the creators, will be difficult to comprehend but [[Teasing Creator|will explain why it is the way it is and promises to bring together the elements of all three Mother games.]]

Previous webcomics by the same creators, Gekko and Meedee, include [[Harmony]], [http://valice.net/?page_id=102 The White Ship], and the side comic, [[Time Skip|SMO]][http://memoria.valice.net/?page_id=47 THER].

Originally started [http://memoria.valice.net/?p=77 here], and updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but it appears to have stopped updating in 2011.  Since then artwork for the comic appears to have disappeared from the site; and unfortunately the [[Wayback Machine]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20141015000000*/http://memoria.valice.net/chapters archive for it] seems not to have stored most or any of the artwork either.
