BECOME LIFE

A single-player narrative survival experience set in the abandoned landscapes of Gargano, Italy.

Immersive survival story

Atmospheric exploration

Explore abandoned towns, eerie forests and real Italian locations like Monte Sant’Angelo and Foresta Umbra.

Persistent world

Your choices leave permanent marks. Forced doors stay forced, resources do not respawn, and every decision counts.

Survival tension

Manage hunger, thirst and exposure while dynamic weather and stealth-based danger keep every step alive.

Story passage

The world was silent. Then it stopped.

The hospital was empty, the rooms abandoned, as if time itself had stopped. Years later, the Gargano has changed. I search for what should never have disappeared.

Main features

Explore concrete and atmospheric settings inspired by real places in Gargano.

Survival systems

Manage hunger, thirst and exposure while weather and environment shape your choices.

Choice matters

Your actions leave marks in a persistent world where every decision has consequences.

Collect limited materials to build tools, adapt your gear, and overcome shifting threats.

Cinematic progression

Experience slower investigative moments and intense cinematic sequences with narrative momentum.

Environmental storytelling

Discover narrative detail through abandoned spaces, weathered objects and secret audio fragments.

Dynamic challenges

Face evolving survival threats from weather, sound and scarce resources in every chapter.

Atmosphere

Every place carries a memory.

From coastal towns to forgotten buildings, the world of BECOME LIFE reveals what was left behind and what is still waiting to be found.

A solo passion project

BECOME LIFE is an independent project developed by Giovanni Altrui since May 2023. No budget, one creator balancing work, life and fatherhood while building a living story as a game.

"I did not create this game to prove something. I created it to tell a story that could become a place, something to cross and something to live."

This work is fiction. All characters, events and places are imaginary.
