It was something that just felt right from the beginning. When asked in an interview why the team took the decision to make the protagonist of the game a woman, Moris stated: "It was not a decision. Nilin was conceived by Jean-Maxime Moris, the creative director of Remember Me. Others criticized her as being poorly portrayed and characterized, while a few saw her as reinforcing some of the genre's less desirable traits for such characters. On the one hand, the character has been praised as breaking away from many stereotypes attached to female characters in video games.

The character has received mixed reviews. Nilin was created by the game's creative director Jean-Maxime Moris, who conceived her as a believable character who would not be over-sexualised or ineffectual when compared to both other female characters and male characters in other games. During her mission, she must recover her stolen memories and expose the crimes committed by Memorize before finally setting out to bring them down. Born as Nilin Cartier-Wells, she is an amnesiac freedom fighter recruited by a mysterious man named Edge to bring down Memorize, the corporation that created the memory-changing technology known as Sensen.

Nilin Cartier-Wells is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the action-adventure video game Remember Me, designed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Capcom in 2013.
