When I'm Gone

Description

In *When I'm Gone*, the world is collapsing under a fast-spreading infection, with most cities already lost. You and your daughter, Jolie, have fled to a remote mountain cabin, but survival comes with a heavy cost. Wounded and facing inevitable death, you must focus on ensuring your daughter's future instead of your own. The game, crafted for the #GMTKjam 2018 under the theme "GENRE WITHOUT MECHANIC," flips survival jugabilidad by shifting the focus from self-preservation to safeguarding another life. Players interact with three key objects: the door, which allows the mother to search for supplies; the cabin, which can be upgraded if needed; and the daughter, who can learn vital skills for independent survival. By managing these elements, you prepare Jolie to thrive alone once you're gone. Music by @jarnik (public domain from freesound.org). This emotional, story-driven experience challenges players to think beyond typical survival mechanics. Experience a unique blend of strategy and empathy in *When I'm Gone.
