Hiro’s World
Still Here is a self-discovery adventure game for players 12–18, where your biggest fears become the doorway to your strength.
The more you play, the more you learn to stay calm, trust yourself, and move forward, even when everything feels impossible.
This isn’t just survival. It’s about turning fear into courage, and becoming the HIRO you were born to be.

About
Hiro is ten when her family accidentally leaves her behind at their summer cabin. At first, fear takes over. But step by step, she learns to survive, explore, and trust herself.
This isn’t a story about being abandoned.
It’s about what happens when you find the strength to move forward anyway.
Every choice shapes who Hiro becomes.
The next move is yours.

Story
A quiet lake town frozen in time, cabins with peeling paint, bikes swallowed by tall grass, the smell of heat and bug spray in the air. For most kids, it’s freedom. For Hiro, it’s survival.
Each day brings new tasks: finding food, searching for lost items, making it through the night. The world shifts with Hiro’s emotions - moments of calm turn into tests of strength and courage.
Along the way, small things become powerful guides: a teddy bear that steadies her breath, a balloon that lifts her spirit, a glowing shard of memory that reminds her she’s not alone.
Still Here is more than survival.
It’s about courage, growth, and discovering who you’re becoming with every step forward.

I created this game because video games have always been my favorite hobby and passion, and I believe using games as a way to bring awareness to key issues is a powerful tool.
Some of my favorite games, Omori, Gris, and Night in the Woods, all have a psychological component that’s beautifully represented, which inspired me when coming up with the concept for my own game.
As I’ve grown up and met more people, I’ve realized how many have gone through awful experiences at a young age and how those experiences have stuck with them.
As we get older, we gain the words and perspective to describe how we feel and why, but as children, we often didn’t have a productive way to express what we were feeling, and so we didn’t get the help or support we needed.
That quiet, invisible kind of suffering and the way it manifests really stayed with me. I wanted to make something that speaks to that.
