Summary
Sometimes it’s not about the history. It’s about the story.
My Memory of Us is a reminiscence of a friendship between a boy and a girl. A friendship made during tough times. Times of terror, pain, and exclusion in a world where people were forced to live in two artificially detached worlds.

My Memory of Us Reviews & Ratings
I've received this game for free on GOG.com and finished it there, then decided to buy it on Steam to support the developer... Yeah, this factI've received this game for free on GOG.com and finished it there, then decided to buy it on Steam to support the developer... Yeah, this fact only could say something about the game.First of all, I have to say that My Memory of Us is incredibly important game for me as a Polish. It depicts what is perhaps the most tragic event in the history of Poland - and does it in artistic, subtle manner. No propaganda here, only cruel world seen by the eyes of kids - and described with the voice of sir Patrick Stewart (yup, THIS Patrick Stewart).Beside that, it's a solid puzzle-platformer, with delightful graphics and clever level design. It's very much like Valiant Hearts - not so polished and perhaps shorter (it can be completed in 4-5 hours), but worth playing just the same.
My Memory of Us does not follow the typical story-telling mechanisms and it dares to venture into a background plot that not many games would step into. Its original and unusual story-telling make this a rather unique effort which might not be the most exciting for players looking for a thrilling challenge but it does a very good job at delivering a unique experience.
Considering its length, My Memory Of Us is a tad overpriced, but the game itself proves a charming magnificent puzzler that tugs at both your brain and your heart strings.
My Memory of Us shows the harsh reality of World War II. It has a beautiful artstyle and great music as well. It's a shame the controls get in the way some times as the puzzels make the game worth playing.
By its nature, a game trivializes its subject matter to some degree, no matter how seriously the subject is presented. One could argue that making any kind of game relating to the Holocaust is bad mojo, but on the other hand, it might engender some awareness of history and My Memory of Us —made by a Polish developer—obviously comes from a sincere place and not crass commercialism. Philosophy and aesthetic arguments aside, where My Memory of Us both occasionally succeeds but equally often stumbles is in its puzzles and gameplay and mechanics.
