During the AG French Direct Spring 2024, a new and intriguing title was unveiled: Lifelong. This first-person exploration and puzzle-solving game delves into the absurdity of corporate life and the often meaningless nature of certain jobs. This game promises to offer a thought-provoking experience unlike any other.

In Lifelong, you assume the role of Marcel Dämlich, a beleaguered employee at Scopesoft, a sprawling and labyrinthine corporation that epitomizes the worst aspects of bureaucratic inefficiency and corporate drudgery. As Marcel, you find yourself trapped in a monotonous routine, until an unexpected opportunity for escape presents itself.

The turning point in Marcel’s mundane existence comes when a powerful remote control, the Videoxport V0.8, is mistakenly left on his desk. This device, usually reserved for the company’s top executives, grants Marcel extraordinary abilities that can aid in his escape from the clutches of Scopesoft.

The remote control is the centerpiece of the gameplay, offering various abilities that you can use to solve puzzles and navigate the treacherous environment of Scopesoft. The Videoxport V0.8 allows you to control objects from a distance, opening new pathways and solving complex puzzles. Also, use the remote to influence your coworkers, getting them to assist you in your quest for freedom. Perhaps the most intriguing ability, the remote lets you switch bodies with colleagues, allowing you to explore otherwise inaccessible areas.

Lifelong doesn't have a specific release date, but you can find it on Steam.
