About this game
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT, MONUMENTAL MILESTONE!!!!! We listen to our community! Originally designed as a groundbreaking VR experience, we have now adapted it for PC so that this story can live on and be experienced by more people worldwide. This April 17th — the day Phnom Penh fell, marking the start of Cambodia’s darkest chapter and this year the 50th Anniversary — we released Stay Alive My Son on PC via Steam. This isn’t just a game release. It’s a tribute. A remembrance. A call.

And when the headset comes off, there is a deeper call - not just to feel, but to act.” After the Cambodia International Film Festival, Stay Alive My Son will be housed as a permanent installation at the Extraordinary Chambers of Cambodia (ECCC) Resource Center, where visitors from around the world will be able to experience this powerful story—for free as our tribute to the resilience of the people of Cambodia. OVERVIEW Spanning over 45 years, Stay Alive My Son (SAMS) is an interactive narrative experience that immerses you in the life of Yathay Pin, a survivor of the Cambodian genocide. Witness history unfold through his eyes, where every decision you make shapes his poignant story of family separation, survival, and resilience. Based on the true events described in Yathay Pin’s novel Tu Vivras M…
