Grand Theft Alzheimer’s is a runner/ adventure game set in Sunset Boulevard Rehabilitation Center, the most mediocre elderly care center in Hollywood, Florida. The player controls Gerald, a Vietnam War vet with dementia and a newfound affinity for petty theft.
He baits fellow residents and caretakers by stealing their personal effects, either earning their friendship or further submitting to his own fear of being forgotten.
The gameplay alternates between a 3D runner and 2.5D adventure game with a PS1-era inspired low poly art style. This pre-established framework breaks as Gerald’s condition advances, directly influenced by the amount of time the player spends in each phase.
