## Description

The Almost Gone is a narrative puzzle game that invites you to explore meticulously crafted dioramas and trace the connections of a life lived between two worlds. Poised between life and death, you search for objects and memories, decode clues, and reveal the poignant truths behind your fate.

From award-winning author Joost Vandecasteele’s writing to five-chapter storytelling, the game guides you through haunted settings—from a suburban sitting room to an abandoned hospital—through which careful, forensic exploration leads you toward the truth. Designed for mobile, this atmospheric experience blends exploration, mystery, and emotion.
