A short narrative adventure game with a first-person view. As Long As You're Here tells the story of a woman struggling with progressive Alzheimer's disease. The gameplay revolves around completing simple everyday tasks that become increasingly difficult due to the protagonist's disorientation.
Autoscopia Interactive is a small Danish indie studio. Its name is derived from the word "autoscopy," which means the experience of "observing oneself" from a distant perspective. Started as a student project, the introspective As Long As You're Here belongs to the genre of engaging games, reminiscent of the strongly narrative That Dragon, Cancer.
As Long As You're Here is a simple interactive story focused on the narrative aspect, so we won't see logical puzzles or complex gameplay mechanics in it. Instead, as an elderly woman dealing with Alzheimer's disease, we perform daily activities such as making coffee, watering plants, or taking medication.
The routine nature of our actions takes on a deeper dimension with the increasing confusion of the protagonist. To convey a sense of disorientation, the game deceives the player - a left-behind cup changes its position, the number of medications doesn't match what we previously recorded, and finally, entire rooms undergo transformation. The family is sitting at the table, even though they weren't there when we entered the dining room a moment ago. Additionally, some dialogues disappear from the screen, simulating the fading of incoherent memories.
Moving around the apartment, we sometimes physically move through Anna's mental space. One moment we're cleaning the kitchen, and the next we're in the bathroom, or we're going down stairs that seem to have no end.
The main goal of this first-person adventure game is to complete the family tree being created in the form of a scrapbook. Each small piece of the game corresponds to a new family member, whom we place on that tree. Completing the game takes about an hour.
As Long As You're Here is characterized by low poly models in muted colors.
