That’s the quote that made me think of the game and its title:
Perhaps I may not accomplish great deeds but history is made up of little anonymous gestures; I may die tomorrow even before that German, but everything I do before dying and my death too will be little parts of history, and all the thoughts I’m having now will influence my history tomorrow, tomorrow’s history of the human race.
Everything I do before dying is a game set in Italy after September 8 1943, during the Resistance period. The player characters are children and teenagers who join the partisan struggle for one reason or another, but almost never for a choice or as the result of a deep conviction; in short, “without a clear why”. The game is above all a declaration of love for Italo Calvino’s neorealist production and a tribute to the people who lost their lives to give Italy back its freedom.
