About This Game

I am an old man already.

I live alone.

Some time ago, my doctor told me that I have Alzheimer's disease.

Apparently, it makes you forget things.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

You are having trouble remembering; things like what you ate for breakfast, where you put the car key, or who are the people shown in the photos on your desk. Still, those will prove to be only minor problems. After all, you live a very simple life during the day.

It is the night time that is more difficult. In dreams, one has to make sense. Where are you? What are those things you see? Why does everything feel familiar, but also strange?

Dreams are not simple. Dreams are complicated… Dreams are forgotten bits of your past clinging on to you. Dreams are the only treasure you’ll ever really possess.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Alzheimer’s: Memories is a point-and-click adventure that tells the story of an old man diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. In the game, you will re-experience moments of the life of the old man, and help him find out about his own past.

Estimated play time 40-70 minutes.

Not Recommended

I think the game does a good job of showing what it might feel like to live with Alzheimer’s. But when it comes to the gameplay, it felt a bit rough. The point-and-click system isn’t very intuitive. No indicator when you interact with something, so I got confused a few times. The musical puzzle, especially. Even with the hint, it didn’t really help much. It took me a while to realize that the notes played twice, they just stay highlighted, they don’t get clicked twice or flash on and off. [i]The idea behind the game is meaningful, but the execution needs more polish and better user-friendly.[/i]
