Indie Studio Autoscopia Interactive has announced their new game As Long As You're Here will launch for PC on October 28th, 2025; the game offers a first person look at Alzheimer's disease, a disease that can impact anyone above the age of 30.
You can wishlist the game on Steam today, but for more, here is the overview, image gallery, and trailer as provided by the developers.
About:
As Long As You’re Here is an emotional family drama seen through the eyes of a woman with Alzheimer's disease. Annie and her family cope with reversed caretaking roles when she moves from her long-time home. As she unpacks her life, memories of her deceased brother and homes from her past bleed into the present.
Players share in Annie’s doubt, social isolation, and vulnerability through a mature first-person experience that centers an often neglected perspective. The game is a subtle reflection on what life with dementia might look like, as well as a story about regret, being in transit, and the complex relationships between siblings.
History
As Long As You’re Here comes from a very personal space. After losing her grandmother to Alzheimer’s Disease, creator Marlène Delrive began working on the project as a way of processing the grief and trying to understand her grandmother’s perspective in her final years. Initially an 8-week student project, the prototype garnered over 13.5k downloads on itch.io, 7+ million views on YouTube, and a nomination for Best Student Game at the 2020 Independent Games Festival. The full-length version launches on Steam on October 28th.
