BECOME LIFE
A single-player narrative survival experience set in the abandoned landscapes of Gargano, Italy. Explore, endure, and uncover what happened after the disappearance where every choice leaves a mark.
A SINGLE PLAYER NARRATIVE SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE
The world didn’t end.
It disappeared.
I remember the constant sound of machines.
Cold lights above my head.
A voice calling my name, trying to keep me awake.
It was 2025.
The last thing I remember is the world as it was back then.
Then, silence.
When I open my eyes again, something is wrong.
No one.
No movement.
No continuity.
The hospital is empty rooms abandoned, as if time itself had stopped.
Outside, the world I knew no longer exists.
Years have passed.
Ten, maybe more.
But no calendar truly confirms it.
The Gargano has changed.
Real places once familiar, now feel suspended, trapped in an endless wait:
Monte Sant’Angelo. Foresta Umbra.
San Severo, Apricena, Foggia.
Peschici, Vico del Gargano…
Places I recognize.
Places that no longer recognize me.
And above all, I search for those who should never have disappeared..

A WORD FROM THE CREATOR
BECOME LIFE is an independent project developed with a long-term vision.
I’ve been developing it solo since May 2023, without a budget, while balancing work and everyday life and becoming a father along the way.
I’ve always wanted to create videogames.
Not to prove something, but to tell a story.
This is one of many stories I’ve written, but it’s the one I could no longer keep on paper.
It needed to become a place something to walk through, something to live.
I don’t promise perfection.
I promise dedication, listening, and constant improvement throughout development.
Thank you for being here.
