The story of "My Memory of Us" starts from the point where an adventurous girl went to the library of her city to buy a new book to read and she found an old book in the most hidden point of the library and went to the library curator to buy it who was a old man. The old man got shocked when he found out about the book which was chosen by the girl because the book was a collection of childhood memories of the old man which is accompanied by an intimate girl friend of his childhood. The time when the world was involved in war , and in spite of all the ugliness and dirt of war , the warm and beautiful friendship of this boy and girl ,  gave fresh impetus to the their city.

Memories are a collection of bitter moments and sweets that have been made with the friend of his childhood.

Surely the most important part of the game "My Memory of Us" which makes it a valuable and influential experience , lies behind the narrative in its unique way. In the game no dialogues are expressed by characters , and we do not even see text conversations but the emotions and reactions of all characters are expressed in plain language by symbolic imaging , and they fully interpret the content that the story wants to narrate. The game in its every minutes , using the environment around the two main characters of the game to narrates the story , and this method is so impressive. So that artistic designers , with the help of simple spaces and understandable and completely simplified images and objects , have much more to narrate than characters.

In a clever and effective manner , the enemy soldiers inside the game depict the appearance of iron robots , and with this way the game creators want to convey the hard and cruel , unrelieved form of war to the player. These robots by invading and controlling the city , mark a group of people in red , so that they can distinguish between different groups of people from each other , to separate them and to create divisions and chaos. Meanwhile we have the story of the little girl and the boy that even the war in the enormous size of the battle depicted in "My Memory of Us" can not hurt their relationship and distances them. The friendship of the two children is challenged when the robots marked the little girl in red and begin to distance themselves between the two friends but you as the player by controlling both characters , must confront the disruption of the two person relationship and protect them from the dangers of threatening friendship by solving various riddles and a variety of games.
