Forgotten was a small student game about dementia that went viral in 2018 -  but we never stopped working on the game! 7 years later, it's finally coming out as a full-length release. 

The game is now called As Long As You're Here and can be wishlisted on Steam! (helping our small team gain visibility) 🍂🎉

A game about Alzheimer's

While similar at its core, As Long As You're Here is a deeper and more nuanced experience. 

Play as Annie and explore beautiful and eerie situations, as her daily life gets gradually more impacted by her Alzheimer's diagnosis. As she unpacks her life, memories of her deceased brother and homes from her past bleed into the present. As a player, you will share in Annie's failing faculties and won't be able to trust your surroundings, or memory.

The game is a short, personal, an emotional family drama - with a dash of magic realism. 🫂✨

Who are we?

We're a small international team of four friends who met at university in Copenhagen making this game, and who have been developing our craft and careers ever since - all while working on this game in our spare time, year by year. 

Making a short game about a serious topic is challenging. Publishers find it too risky, and the algorithms of online platforms are not in our favour. Wishlisting the game will help us gain visibility, so it would mean the world to us if you can help. 🩷

We can’t wait to share this final version with you! We hope that you’ll give As Long As You’re Here a try and that you’ll enjoy the game we’ve put so much care and passion into developing.
