Not just any old story, but a story about real people in real events from a history that we’d sooner forget than remember; but remembering these events is the only way to pay homage to heroes and victims of the Nazi occupation of Europe.
My Memory of Us, is a puzzle-based, side-scrolling game of hope and heroism in the face of absolute terror. It begins in The City - a place inspired by the pre-Second World War Warsaw, where a young boy and girl from two different worlds come together to be kids, free to play and enjoy life. War breaks out, the Evil King plunders the city, and his robot-soldiers separate citizens. Some are marked for being different, forced to move from their homes and live in a place sealed off from the rest of the city by a huge wall. Times of terror, pain, and exclusion in a world where people were forced to live in two artificially detached worlds. The young boy and girl’s friendship is the bond that may allow them to stay together, even though fate wants to tear them apart.
My Memory of Us will feature the golden voice of legendary actor of stage and screen, Patrick Stewart.
“The story of My Memory of Us is a personal one to us, as our grandparents faced similar oppression World War II. This game is our ode to them and the millions of others who lived and died during this time,” said Mikołaj Pawłowski, CEO, Juggler Games. “So when it came time to cast a narrator, Patrick Stewart was the perfect choice. His amazing acting career spans nearly six decades, and since the very beginning he has produced incredible and emotional work. His talent and skill provides the right mixture of gravitas and hope, and his performance resonates perfectly with our game.”
Patrick Stewart’s illustrious career has produced unforgettable performances from his award-winning roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company to his work as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men film series. My Memory of Us marks his return to the video game format, having previously lent his voice acting talents to titles that include The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
