An emotional family drama seen through the eyes of a woman with Alzheimer's disease
You play as Annie, an elderly woman whose life is rapidly upended by Alzheimer’s disease. As her children clash over how to care for her, players unlock old memories of Annie’s long-dead brother.
Players share in Annie’s doubt, social isolation, and vulnerability through a mature 1st person experience that centers an often neglected perspective. The game is a subtle reflection on what life with dementia might look like, as well as a story about regret, being in transit, and the complex relationships between siblings.
