Raised by her aunt Jessica, Ashley believed both of her parents were dead; on the eve of her 14th birthday, she receives a strange letter and a device called a DTS from her father.
She and her aunt are summoned to Blood Edward Island, which is where the game begins.
Near the beginning of the game, you meet the ghost of a boy who can't remember his past.
Over the course of the game, you will uncover the truth of both your own past and this mysterious boy's.
Much use is made of the unique features of the DS.
You will use the stylus, the microphone, and even the "sleep" feature in addition to more traditional puzzle solutions.
Your character cannot die; there are no action or arcade sequences.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Trace Memory for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Trace Memory to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2005.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Trace Memory, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
