Back Then Windows, Mac, Linux, PS4, Switch game

Back Then is a yet unseen take in the videogame industry about an elderly poet diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, dealing not only with how our elders and their families change and learn to adapt to this newfound unavoidable and inevitable loss of memory and identity, but also show players that there is more to these situations than simple forgetfulness as we age.

Thomas Eilian is an elderly poet and writer diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Bound to only move around in a wheelchair, he finds himself alone for what seems like years roaming an empty house. “The clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”

Key Features:

• In-depth narrative and storytelling experience.
• Creative gameplay mechanics related to Alzheimer’s and forgetfulness, where the character starts to remember (and forget) his past and present.
• Inspired by real events and stories of people with Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative diseases, told by family members and loved ones.
• Focus on interactivity, grab, interact with everything and learn as much as possible.
• Scientific breakdown via collectibles about Alzheimer's.
