Buy Stay Alive, My Son VR PC key

Stay Alive, My Son VR is an interactive virtual reality story spanning more than 45 years in the life of Yathay Pin, a Cambodian genocide survivor. Based on events described in Pin’s novel Tu Vivras Mon Fils (Stay Alive My Son), it follows his family’s separation, his survival and his search for atonement. Your decisions shape the story as you see the world through Yathay’s eyes.

Yathay’s memories

The journey begins outside Yathay’s home, where you meet him as an 88-year-old man. Light gameplay mechanics lead you into the mind of a father haunted by choices from his past. In a ceremonial rite, your hands become his, and you enter his memories to seek understanding and redemption.

You navigate a cavernous labyrinth that represents the recesses of Yathay’s mind, discovering Cambodia’s history and confronting the moments that led to his family’s separation and the abandonment of his six-year-old son, Nawath. The story revisits the sorrow of those events and Yathay’s anguish at not knowing what happened to his son.

The path to Angkor Wat

The journey culminates in the mythical echoes of Angkor Wat, presented as a beacon in the darkness. In a candlelit sanctuary, you uncover Yathay’s final elusive memory and a story of enduring love and forgiveness.

Interactive storytelling

The game combines cinematic storytelling with interactivity in a format it calls “Cineplay.” A hyper-realistic digital representation of Yathay and volumetric capture of real actors bring him and his family into the game, recreating key moments in his life.
