What if you lost all your memories? An emotional family drama seen through the eyes of a woman with Alzheimer’s disease. As Annie’s life slowly unravels, uncover memories of her deceased brother as her past bleeds into the present.
STORY
Inspired by personal stories. You play as Annie, an elderly woman whose memory is starting to betray her. Annie and her children cope with reversed caretaking roles as she moves from her long-time home. While her children clash over how to care for her, old memories of Annie’s long-dead brother start to emerge.
As Long As You’re Here is a subtle reflection of what life with dementia might look like, and a story about complex sibling relationships.
SHORT & PERSONAL
As Long As You’re Here is a short and personal experience made with care by a small team of developers.
The aim is to create a mature and nuanced experience that shows the difficult repercussions of losing not only your memory, but also your agency and sense of time and place.
What disappears when we forget?
… and what resurfaces?
