BAFTA-Nominated Before I Forget Coming to Switch and Xbox Next Week
Today, micro-studio 3-Fold Games announced its first-person narrative game, Before I Forget, is coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S next week on April 29th, 2021.
Developed with support from medical professionals at Gaming the Mind, Before I Forget is a short exploration game about dementia, where players are invited to experience the world through the eyes of Sunita, a brilliant woman with early onset Alzheimer’s. In this BAFTA-nominated experience, players interact with objects to uncover the mystery of Sunita’s past, navigate her unraveling world, and piece together the remnants of a life well lived.
Check out the trailer:
Before I Forget first debuted in 2020 as part of the Humble Originals line-up, followed by a successful launch on Steam/Itch.io. In 2021, the game was even nominated for a Game Beyond Entertainment BAFTA.
By expanding to console platforms, 3-Fold Games co-founders, Chella Ramanan and Claire Morwood, explain the developers hope to bring the message of Before I Forget to an even wider audience:
“We are both interested in exploring the possibilities of what games can be, what stories they tell, and how they tell them. Before I Forget is a niche, narrative game about an older, Indian woman with dementia, so to share space with amazing AAA experiences means players we may not normally reach can enjoy a moment with Sunita.”
Helping the 3-Fold team bring this acclaimed indie gem to new platforms are independent games distributors, Plug-In Digital.
Wandering from room to room, players discover mysterious objects, each holding a fleeting, fragmented memory. Examine faded postcards, scribbled notes, photographs, and more to uncover Sunita’s past, reveal her life-story, understand her present.

- Short & Bittersweet. A lovingly-crafted narrative experience, designed to be played in one sitting & with an average playtime of 1 hour.
- Beyond Entertainment. Explore the impact of dementia in a powerful BAFTA-nominated first person experience, built in collaboration with medical experts.
