Large parts of the game require the player to climb around their surroundings and manage their stamina accordingly. Gameplay uses a third person perspective with an emphasis on exploration and platform like elements. Upon reaching your apartment the player connects with other survivors and ends up assisting them while still on the hunt for his family. He’s travelled the distance to try and reconnect with his wife and daughter who he was away from when the event hit.

In the game players join the protagonist in his final attempt to reach his old apartment, a journey that has taken him a year. As you would expect these events led to a massive shortage in resources for the population leaving many citizens to die in the aftermath or turn to violence in order to meet their needs. Players join the game a year after a cataclysmic event that destroyed many American cities with earthquakes and other natural disasters. I Am Alive belongs to the survival horror genre and lets players explore a decaying and dangerous game world very similar to other post-apocalyptic games.
