As Long As You're Here

As Long As You're Here is a short narrative game about Annie, an elderly woman whose memory is beginning to fail. Seen through her perspective, the story follows her move from her longtime home and the reversed caregiving roles she and her children must navigate. As Annie’s past bleeds into the present, memories of her long-dead brother surface while her children clash over how to care for her.

Annie’s story

The game explores life with dementia and the effects of losing memory, agency, and a sense of time and place. It also examines complex sibling relationships and the tensions and dynamics within Annie’s family. The story is inspired by personal stories.
