A downloadable game

Jason is grappling with his mother’s late stage Alzheimer’s diagnosis. 

Suddenly, his life is an endless loop of late night hospital visits, bouts of mistaken identity, laughter and tears.  

But one night when Jason falls asleep by his mother’s bedside, he awakens in darkness. Forced to confront his own grief, he must battle the shadows that have come to steal her remaining memories. 

We will all experience the inevitability of aging loved ones and loss. What if the fleeting moments could be spared? How far into the darkness would you wander… to hold the light?

In this action game, the player tries to prevent darkness from extinguishing the central fire. Each time the flame takes damage, the void expands and the size of the visible gameplay area shrinks. Through the use of light orbs and power-ups, the player must not only survive but fight back against hordes of attacking shadows.
