You play as Annie, an older woman living with Alzheimer’s as she moves from her longtime home to be closer to her children. Through her perspective, the story follows her changing memories, her relationships with her family, and recollections of her deceased brother.
Explore Annie’s home and interact with everyday objects, photographs, letters, and other keepsakes. Follow reminders to do simple routines such as taking medication, making coffee, and watering plants; you can also knit and speak with family members.
As the story progresses, scenes and surroundings shift between past and present, reflecting Annie’s changing sense of time and place. Dialogue, personal mementos, and family memories gradually reveal the relationships and care decisions at the heart of the narrative.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often praise the game’s emotional story and its first-person portrayal of living with dementia, saying it helped them better understand experiences affecting themselves, relatives, or people they care for. Recurring praise also highlights the way shifting surroundings convey disorientation, along with the writing, visual style, and music. Some reviewers consider the brief length fitting, while others wish there were more to play or question the price for the runtime.
