[Gamescom] ‘My Memory Of Us’ Sports Dark Visuals With Touching Story

Published

on

Juggler Games’ My Memory Of Us was announced way back in February, but is now getting a much-needed boost in attention thanks to a new trailer and, if you’re at Gamescom, a PC demo!

The whimsical yet dark adventure platformer tells the story of friendship between a boy and a girl in the midst of a war between the country’s inhabitants and a robot army. As the war rages on, the Evil King decides to split up the population of his country. The marked ones were placed in annexed area separated by a huge wall. The two friends will have to avoid the detection by the robot army in order to escape to their freedom.

And yes, this is all a reference to the Nazi occupation of Poland and the Jewish ghettos during World War II. In fact, the events in the game are based on actual stories from the Jewish ghettos at that time.

The game features a mix of stealth and puzzle-solving, with each friend having their own unique abilities. You will also be able to control both friends at the same time in order to solve certain puzzles. Mixed with a beautiful art style, My Memory Of Us definitely seems to belie its simple premise. No release date as of yet, but it should be soon.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
