I am a little more 'amnesia again?' when it comes to it applying to other characters vs the main character (which is almost always to serve some sort of mechanical function that has a purpose), but even then it often leads to pretty fun mysteries.

Yeah I do think amnesia works best when it's with the main character. Disco Elysium, Planescape Torment, and The House in Fata Morgana have their entire plots centered around waking up with lost memories, and those are three of the best game stories ever constructed. (Also not a spoiler to mention those because it's made clear from the beginning)

That's a great point. The more central the character is, the stronger the amnesia impact is. Fata Morgana only works because of the amnesia (I haven't played the other two yet).
