Don’t Let Me Fade Is Now Available On Steam For Free

Feel The Story Of Don’t Let Me Fade
AinkOink has officially launched Don’t Let Me Fade on PC via Steam, expanding its reach after a well-received debut on itch.io. Created in just 48 hours during the GG Jam 2025, the game is now free to play and available to a wider audience.

Short, quiet, and deeply atmospheric, Don’t Let Me Fade leaves a lasting impression despite its brief runtime. Its minimalist design and poignant storytelling have drawn praise for their emotional weight and subtle execution. The game also includes a single Steam achievement for players to discover, adding a small interactive reward to its reflective journey.

At the heart of the experience is the soundtrack, available separately for $0.99. The developer composed it during the same 48-hour jam. Crafted from ambient textures, delicate piano, and fragmented melodies, the music mirrors the game’s emotional themes: loneliness, memory loss, and a slipping sense of self. It explores the fragility of identity through sound, with each note evoking the feeling of something just out of reach.

Don’t Let Me Fade was developed around the jam’s theme, “A World Without Time,” interpreted here as a metaphor for Alzheimer’s. Players step into the role of an elderly man navigating a world dissolving into fragments. The soundtrack captures this emotional descent, moments of clarity giving way to confusion, warm memories fading into silence, and time folding in on itself.

With its quiet power and thoughtful composition, Don’t Let Me Fade invites players to reflect on memory, identity, and what remains when time begins to slip away.
