About
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.
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.
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?
Short & Subtle: A short and subtle experience designed to be enjoyed in one sitting.

Ha sido una forma agobiante e interesante en el buen aspectos de sentir la experiencia de colocarnos en los zapatos de familiares que han lidiado con la demencia hasta sus últimos días y he llegado a congeniar mucho con ello.
about an hour of playtime, but made me cry lol, good game
A very beautiful and touching game, it really shows what it's like to live with dementia. I cried when the credits rolled. 10/10

It makes you feel scared, lost and alone. And in the case of this game, it makes for an extremely compelling and emotional journey. Without a shadow of a doubt it's worth buying it, no matter how short it is.
it was sad and beautiful.
Très bon et court jeu.
Ich hatte wirklich das Gefühl ich war mitten im Geschehen drin. Als würde ich das wirklich erleben.
10000/10
It was a bit of a rough game for me to play. My grandma also had dementia and at the end of her life I didnt spend much time around her anymore because I didnt get along with my dad well and because I was really scared she wouldnt remember me. I wish I could have showed her more how much I loved her and what a wonderful human she was in general. this game made me feel a bit closer to her and even though Its quite short and I got some motion sickness I'm happy I played it and its absolutely worth the time. Such an important topic too. I'm sorry grandma, I love you.
