As Long As You're Here

Description

Is a moving, intimate narrative experience that explores memory, loss, and family bonds through the eyes of Annie, a woman living with Alzheimer's. As her memories fade, fragments of her past—especially those of her late brother—begin to surface, blurring the line between present and recollection. Players step into Annie's world, navigating emotional conversations, personal belongings, and handwritten letters that slowly piece together her life story. The game's structure reflects the disorientation of dementia, with shifting environments and shifting perspectives that mirror Annie's experience. Developed by a small, dedicated team in Copenhagen, the game blends realism with sensitivity, drawing inspiration from real-life stories and incorporating actual family photos. Its concise yet powerful format makes it ideal for a single, reflective session. Themes of agency, identity, and the enduring impact of relationships are woven throughout, offering a thoughtful look at what remains when memory slips away. Autoscopia Interactive crafts this deeply personal journey with care, aiming to foster empathy and understanding. As Long.
