Among the collection of games launching today on Nintendo Switch is My Memory of Us, a 'heart-melting" story inspired by true events from World War II.
The game follows the friendship between a girl and a boy as they experience life in The City - a place inspired by pre-Second World War Warsaw. Conflict breaks out, forcing the children into separation, and they must find a way of staying together and surviving the threat of the robot soldiers lead by The Evil King.
The trailer above depicts a beautiful, handcrafted 2D world, with gameplay consisting of adventure, puzzles, and stealth sections. If you recognise the voice of the narrator, that would be because it is none other than Sir Patrick Stewart (of Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men fame, among many others).
Here's a quick feature list taken from the game's Steam page:
Features:
- Side-scrolling adventure full of action, stealth and various logical puzzles
-A moving story about friendship and love in dangerous times
- Beautiful 2D graphics inspired by naïve art
- Pair mechanics: control one of two characters with different abilities, or control them as a pair
- A grotesque tale mixed with bittersweet humour
- The events shown in the game are based on actual stories from World War II
As noted above, the game is available right now on Switch. It's priced at $14.99 / £13.49, although owners of GRIS and Beholder: Complete Edition can get a lovely 20% off.

have fun playing a schindler's list spin off, what better why to spend an afternoon
Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Is that discount for people who own both or just one of the 2 games?
And I may pick it up, love to cry and have all the feels every now and then

Get a grip.
This reminds me of Valiant Hearts, the Ubisoft game about WW1. If it’s as good as that one it’s a sure buy. I live these sorts of different approaches to gaming & story telling.
"the threat of the robot soldiers lead by The Evil King."
I never read anything about that in history books.
I'm getting Schindler's List vibes from the art style. I'm definitely intrigued for sure!
It seems that characters from WWII are portrayed in such interesting metaphors. The robot king, the red being chased down and oppressed. I like it!
The art looks very nice. I'm just gonna wait for the reviews. I'm definitely interested in it!
I'm interested. I'll be checking this out further. Looks good, and to my taste for an indie.
Definitely sounds interesting. Honestly, it could be the CDi Zelda, if it's being narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart, I'm so there.

Heart Melting is something I would associate with a book or movie but not a video game.
Watched the video, heard patick stewart. Will defo get it
Sounds a lot like Vandal Hearts. Looks better in fact.
