Not all video games need to be masterpieces. Not all video games need to be super long, or even decently long. Sometimes, a video game is meant to invoke certain feelings or showcase memories from the developer’s past in a creative way. The team at Falling Leaves Studios did that with their emotional story title MyDear.Exe, which is out right now on Steam. The game itself is only two hours, but you’ll experience a true love story within that is bound to tug on your heartstrings. Learn more about the game below:

“Celebrate love with Ellie and Lucien in MyDear.exe. A short & cute game that takes place in the folders of an old PC. In the shoes of Ellie, play the game made by Lucien as a tribute to their long life together.

This “Foldervania” brings the nonlinear exploration of classic Metroidvania games, into a fake “Windows XP-inspired” interface to tell the story of two people who loved each other unconditionally for 57 years. Humour, memories and love are on the menu in this short 2-hour experience.”

Here’s more on the title:

• Silly Mini-games – Inspired by our characters and other retro video games.
• Memories – Filled with souvenirs in the form of letters, pictures, notes… to tell the story of our lovely elderly couple.
• Puzzles – Because a good ‘vania wouldn’t be without puzzles, the game is filled with passwords, each using a different mechanism to decrypt

• Fake OS – We’ve put lots of effort into recreating a fake retro OS. Easy for everyone to manipulate and understand.
• Fully Voiced – You play as Ellie, who is discovering the game with Lucien right by her side, and their loving interactions are
• voiced over to help players get a feel for their personalities.
