On September 16 2017 I had to say goodbye to my longtime friend, partner and husband.

I tried to capture the experience of slowly seeing your partner move towards a state that is incomprehensible. And where effort can only prolong someone's life, never save it.

A simple, straight forward gameplay mechanic can gain so much meaning with the right context. Did you hold on to life, or did you actively struggle? Both are valid ways to play this game.

Both are valid ways to deal with cancer.
