"Left Alive categorically fails at everything it sets out to accomplish. Wonky and unreliable AI makes engaging in stealth a frustrating chore, poor gunplay leads to numerous misplaced shots whizzing past the bullet-sponge enemies, and an unfair difficulty means you'll need to repeat those enraging moments over and over again. This game could have filled a gaping hole in the market, but instead it needs to be taken round back and put out of its misery. This is a truly miserable experience for even the most die-hard supporters of the genre."

About
Alive is a visual novel that follows three friends bound by love, loss and impossible choices. When a sudden tragedy upends their lives, the story shifts between guilt, longing and the weight of decisions made in grief. Players navigate branching paths shaped by moral gray areas, where relationships fray under the pressure of secrets and regret. The narrative leans heavily into emotional tension, with minimal combat or action, everything hinges on dialogue and consequence. This 1999 title carved a niche for its unflinching themes and nonlinear storytelling. While its mature content and bleak tone limited mainstream appeal, it developed a cult following for pushing visual novel boundaries. Some forums cite it as a precursor to more complex narrative branching in later titles. At just 8 hours average playtime, it packs a punch with multiple endings tied to fragile human connections. Not a light pick but a notable entry for fans of character-driven, choice-heavy stories.
