You Will (Not) Remain is a 2D narrative-driven experience backed by detailed pixel art that deals with dark themes and explores mental health issues while players deal with an eldritch horror consuming your city. Best of all, it’s available for free on Steam (and includes achievements). Actually, that’s the second best thing. The best thing is that you can play fetch with your dog, Lambshank.
Impressively, it was made in just 48 hours during the Women Game Jam 2021 by the Melbourne-based Ella Lowgren (writing), Talia Raso (music), Jordan Cook-Irwin (programming) and T-Dog eXtreme (art). You can find more games from the Women Game Jam 2021 here.
