Stephanie's recommendations for games that deal with concepts of dementia or Alzheimer's:
Before I Forget - this is the most relevant - it puts you in the position of someone living with Alzheimer's.
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/game/before-i-forget/
Ether One - a little more abstract, you play as someone trying to restore memories to a woman with dementia
Spiritfarer - a game about the journey to the afterlife, it features a character that has dementia
https://thunderlotusgames.com/spiritfarer/
Firewatch - the main character's partner has dementia, he reveals that his struggle to deal with and why he takes a job in a remote location
