I like games that try to bring you closer to things that are too difficult to convey without experiencing them: Alzheimer's disease, is probably one of them and "As Long As You're Here" tries to build a bridge here.

BIG NEWS! Our game has a new name ✨

Say welcome to: 🍂 As Long As You're Here 🍂

... and bye bye Forgotten 👋

We've decided to change the title of our game. A tough decision, but we needed to fix some SEO issues (🧵).

We feel this title fits the theme & mood better, and we hope you like it too 💜

I'm finally making characters again 🥹

Forgotten is a game inspired by real people so we decided to use our own family as inspiration, and we use real photos in the game. Here's Ryan's dad! Catching his likeness is a lot of fun, but I'm still cursing at that stupid polo shirt collar... 🧵

🧑‍🎄🎄 Happy holidays! 🎄🧑‍🎄

We hope everyone gets through it all with a limited amount of family drama 🤞

... and maybe something slightly nicer than pepperoni pizza, but who are we to judge 💁‍♀️

Screenshot of a 1st person 3D game where the player sits at a dinner table with pizza in people's plates. Three characters sit in front: a bearded man to the left with his hand up, a kid in the middle, and a woman to the right with crossed arms. The man has a speech bubble that says "... so it's fine, you know. Whatever Elisabeth wants." Two choices float in front of the player: "Let it go" and "Speak up".

Screenshot of a kid's room in a 1st person 3D video game. There is warm day light coming in from a big window, bunk beds, and toys strewn across the floor. Text hovers over a toy horse that is lying on it's side saying "tidy up?" indicating the player's possible action.

"Forgotten" is a subtle experience about dementia, but we always new it had potential to be so much more. In 2020 we started working on it again as a side project, and in 2024 Roxanne joined us 🎉

There has been countless ups and downs, asking ourselves: "is this thing ever gonna get finished?"...

We're Autoscopia Interactive, a small game studio split between 3 countries 🇩🇰🇳🇱🇺🇸

We met at uni in 2018 in Copenhagen where Marlène, Jordy & Ryan made "Forgotten", a small 7 week game with a big impact (IGF nominee and over 6 million views on YouTube) 🫣

Needless to say, 7 weeks is not much... 🧵

Status of our game:
- Playtesters notice the home getting cozier right around the same time.
- My reaction, as a Dane: "oh we can make it waaaay cozier"

I added a little candle interaction in Forgotten the other day for a bit of 'hygge' and comfort on the dark and lonely days🕯️🍂
