As Long As You're Here

TRES IMMERSIF

A relentless story that forces you, for the first time, to inhabit the crumbling mind of an Alzheimer's patient. very insightful, recommend.

현실....여운이 너무 많이 남는다.

It's a nice short game, even though not as touching as some of the reviews claim. I think they did a good job showing something that is very hard to explain if you haven't experienced it yourself. I got this game in a bundle with The Berlin Apartment and it is quite similar in many aspects: the art style, scenery, limited interactions and a good story. One downside is that this game is not fully voiced over, what made it worse in my opinion is that they decided to still add some sounds to the characters: they would often sigh/moan/yawn when another sentence appears, which is an odd sound design choice and it takes me away from the immersion. I'd much rather not have any human sounds at all than that. But it doesn't happen with every sentence, so it's bearable. I'd recommend it only in a bundle and/or with a discount. Or if you're particularly interested in the topic, because there are very few games (nothing comes to mind, actually) that touch it. It worked well on Steam Deck, however I had to use the magnifier hotkey to read some text in just a couple of places.

游戏根据真实故事改编，从阿尔兹海默症患者视角来描绘病人及其家属面临的困境。 游戏的体验对我来说是揪心的，以第一人称视角进行交互，玩家能清楚地感知到环境的变化有多么不正常，就像一部心理恐怖电影在眼前放映——检查测试单上越来越扭曲的作答、全程都难以推测的日期、不知何时打翻的马克杯、某一个回头在房间中突然出现的“陌生人”以及现实与回忆交织的混乱空间。这些“异常”就这样发生在患者的“日常”中，不安和焦躁将日日纠缠他们。而阿兹海默症带来的远远不止是一个人的痛苦，更是对整个家庭的折磨。照顾一个阿兹海默症患者，牺牲的是最亲近的人的生活和自由…… 我们无法想象患者眼中的世界变成了如何的混沌，但对人类真挚情感的美好憧憬让人们始终相信，爱这种感觉永远不会被遗忘。

Obrigado por este jogo!

Infelizmente essa análise é de mais uma pessoa que vive com avós que sofrem de alzheimer e demência. Lendo as reviews fiquei muito triste em ver que essas doenças são tão comuns, mas espero que todos tenham sentido o mesmo que eu durante a gameplay. Refleti muito sobre a condição dos meus avós e o jogo conseguiu me dar uma perspectiva que eu nunca teria. Doença desgraçada.

absolutely incredible. this is so well thought though and really touches on the truth of this disease. i work in hospice and i suggest to the younger family members for patients to play this game now. it's very very well done. thank you for this.

As Long As You're Here. est le meilleur investissement larmes/prix de ma bibliothèque. C'est un jeu très émouvant, très bien rythmé qui nous fait nous questionner sur la vie et nos regrets, le tout dans une direction artistique très douce qui accompagne bien la mélancolie du jeu. Ça en valait la peine.
