Excited to visit Vienna next week and talk about how we made As Long As You’re Here! 🙌🇦🇹 Spoilers: it took a LOT of iteration, and honing our skills and gut feeling over 7(!) years 🫣

Finally allowing myself to model just for fun, so I made this today 😌🍜 It's fun to see how much I've learned over the years through making all of the art for 'As Long As You're Here'! Now the question is... Cooking game next? 👩🏻‍🍳

Appreciated a couple of little moments like these. They're good at capturing the most important sentiments of both positions she's been as the one receiving care and the caretaker.

Played through As Long As You're Here in a sitting and loved it. Really thoughtful approach to portraying a sense of time and place through the perspective of a woman with Alzheimer's disease who also spent much of her life as a caretaker.

A beautiful article about our game about Alzheimer's in national German newspaper, @zeit.de (!) ♥️ About how games can show you a new perspective, and how our personal stories inspired moments in the game, all while helping us heal ❤️‍🩹 Now all I dream of is a review in @theguardian.com 🥹🤞

"As Long As You’re Here": Du bist Annie und du vergisst

Wie kann man Alzheimer verständlich machen? Nicht durch Ratgeber. Marlène Delrive hat ein Spiel entwickelt – es ist eins der berührendsten des Jahres geworden.
