Description
We All End Up Alone is a narrative and psychological game where you will live a daily battle without weapons : you will play someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer and will try to make it through. The game is blending everyday life management and exploration gameplay. You will have to manage your new life during the day by choosing between actions to heal yourself, keep your stress low and your morale high. When the night comes you will have to explore the dreamlike world of your unconscious and fight your fears or the consequences of your choices. But you will also have to run from the disease and look for a way out to find hope and peace. Day and night are connected and everything you do will have an impact on the story.
History
