Players experience memories and snapshots of four lives, including victim Will, his boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, and grandmother.

In the story-driven experience, with a play-time of approximately 2.5 hours, players walk alongside Will in the final moments of his life as well as through the memories of people who loved him. The game features stories from the lives of Will’s boyfriend Harry, who returns to an empty apartment filled with reminders of Will; Sarah, his ex-girlfriend who later became a good friend to the couple; and Mary, his grandmother feeling alone and betrayed by a society she barely recognises. The player moves through the world in the first-person, but directs the story from outside of the protagonists, creating a unique ‘second-person’ feel to the experience.

“We have been on an amazing journey since we started development at a game jam more than three years ago, and it is wonderful that players will soon be able to experience our story”, said Elwin Verploegen, co-founder of Sassybot. “We are regularly overwhelmed by how our audience is moved by the game, and how they appreciate a title combining emotional honesty on a difficult topic with such an uplifting ending.”

Fragments of Him will launch on Steam (PC) for €19.99 / $19.99 / £ 14.99. The Xbox One version will be following shortly, with the PlayStation 4 version coming later this year.
