Thanks for the question! We're eager to answer this for you and others, so here's a little elaboration on the memory loss mechanics:

-Upon arriving to the island, Reclaimers will lose their memories as if stressed; similar to how you feel after studying all night, taking a nap, and waking up wondering where the heck you've ended up. It's a very physically-induced feeling, and will give Reclaimers no indication of being tampered with. No arcana check needed here! There's no magic involved-- except for one tiny little memory: how did everyone get to the Island? (That's a mystery to be solved in the game, after all!)

-We intend for most aspects of this adventure to be as player-friendly as possible. As such, there will be an opt-out option provided. Though all Reclaimers will wake up foggy, memory loss can be remedied as quickly or as slowly as the player wants.
Memory regains are at the Player's discretion, not at the mercy of dice rolls. The only requirement to regain memories is to play with others on the island; ICly, all they have to do is recover from their stress and reinforce their bonds with other Reclaimers and the inhabitants of the Island. You can regain memories as early as an hour in or as late as right before the CTA, whichever works best for you.

-Players will also be able to choose what memories they're losing; want Mario to forget all of Mushroom Kingdom before he arrived at the Moon Base? Go for it! Only want him to forget his time as a Reclaimer? Aces! Want Mario to wake up knowing only his name and not his purpose as a world saving plumber? Done! Not comfy with any of it? Have Mario remember after a nice de-stress hour on the beach OR take our to-be-announced Opt Out option and focus your efforts on path-building, Cr-building, and island adventuring instead!

-As mentioned before, the only memory that Reclaimers cannot regain naturally is the collective memory of how they all came to the Island. Not even Angus seems to recall! And according to this OOC Arcana Check: yes! There's a magical reason for why this memory seems to have been stolen. We'll all find out together with Angus on the island why we can't recall how we got here!
