Recovered memories that make sense only after an earlier one: do not lose the late find

In an amnesia story the player may stumble on the key memory before the ones it depends on. Dropping it means a lost clue, and showing it now ruins the logic. Here is how to hold it back, release it at the right moment and report honest progress.

Why this works

A story clue is only a clue once its reasons are known. Holding a finding back until what it rests on is in place keeps the logic honest, and releasing it the moment it fits means the player never loses a discovery just because of the order.

When not to use it

Skip it when the player should piece things together alone, as in a detective game where a misplaced clue is part of the puzzle. Automatic ordering takes that thinking away; show every find at once and let the player sort.
