Description
About This Game
Step into the life of an elderly character confronting the inevitable erosion of self and cherished memories due to Alzheimer's.
Oblivio is an evocative, first-person narrative journey that immerses players in the fragile battle against the gradual loss of memory and identity. The narrative unfolds through fragmented recollections, symbolic environments, and haunting interactions. It captures the heartbreaking struggle to retain precious moments as the disease progresses, contrasting fleeting moments of warmth and joy with the emptiness Alzheimer's brings.
This is a powerful story designed to evoke empathy and understanding for those impacted by the disease.
A Mind in Flux
Navigate dynamically between "congruent" and "altered" states. Watch as familiar environments twist from recognizable scenes into surreal distortions, a groundbreaking mechanic that mimics the mind's loosening grasp on reality with haunting beauty.
The Fragments of a Life
Piece together the protagonist's past by solving poignant, memory-based puzzles. These intricate challenges represent the fragmented nature of memory recall. Delve into the story through interactive books and rich environmental storytelling, revealing fragments of a life lived and the profound bonds of love and family.
A Disorienting Journey
Oblivio utilizes the disorienting, whimsical progression of Alice in Wonderland as a unique narrative framework. This structure adds layers of philosophical resonance to a deeply personal and emotionally profound journey into the realities of Alzheimer's.
