About HOW WE KNOW WE'RE ALIVE

HOW WE KNOW WE'RE ALIVE is an award winning, hour long melancholy, point-and-click narrative mystery set in the bible belt of Sweden.

FROM SWEDEN WITH LOVE

Welcome to Härunga – a small industrial town in the bible belt of the mid–north of Sweden. You play as Sara, an aspiring writer who, after having been away for 10 years, returns home in order to investigate the tragic fate of her estranged best friend. The days grow short quickly this far up north – and the rain never seems to let up...

HÄRUNGA FOREVER

Lovingly crafted and richly animated, explore the melancholy atmosphere of a small town that time seemingly forgot. Meet old friends and enemies and piece together the mystery of what happened after your friendship tragically fell apart.

As in life, what you say will impact things in hidden ways and not everything may be as it seems. Who is telling whose truth and can you know the difference?

The Atmosphere is beautiful, cozy and chill. The story is confronting. Go on grab a hot chocolate and play it. Maybe you'll just lose less than an hour of your time or maybe you'll get a life long lesson just like I did

A well written, interesting and emotional short story about loss and friendship, definitely worth it.

Played this game with a heavy heart and it felt painful to go through the entire story. Its a mix of heartbreak, forgiveness, and maturity. Finished the game crying. It stayed with me for quite some time. I highly recommend.
