Short description
You have found yourself in a space that reminds you of nothing, and everything. A space of rooms, that are both comfortingly familiar, yet strangely unknown. A space of quiet and loneliness. You have found the BACK*SPACE. You aren't sure if you are alone. You aren't sure if you want to leave.
About this game
Why do you keep searching? BACK*SPACE is a liminal space exploration game that focuses on the aesthetic of liminal spaces. The player finds themselves suddenly thrown into a strange new place, consisting of empty corridors, forgotten rooms, strange pools, and surreal architecture. Can you find a way out of this place? Or, do you want to stay a little longer? How long will you stay? BACK*SPACE is uncanny, but still somehow feels comfortable and inviting. Nothing is chasing you, there are no entities, no threats of danger. Explore a little while you are here, and see what you might find. Search at your own pace. Where is this place? BACK*SPACE consists of 16 unique levels, each with varying themes. 8 levels feel like forgotten offices, malls, and rooms, and smell of moist carpet and molding wallpaper. 8 levels feel like poolrooms, and lure you in with calm waters. These levels are inspired by backrooms lore, and feature some familiar takes, and some maybe less familiar. A wanderer can explore any level at any time, and does not have to progress in any linear order. These rooms are confusing and somewhat maze-like, but the way out is still reachable, if you really want to leave... After an introductory level, wanderers find themselves in a home ‘Hub’ of sorts, that connects to each of these 16 levels. But also, one final Exit elevator in this room is found, glowing in the light of a mass of television screens. Is this the way out? Do you want to leave? You are welcome to stay as long as you like… What do you keep finding? Each main level has a VHS tape hidden somewhere in its rooms. This tape can show up in different places each time a wanderer visits, encouraging the wanderer to explore and look a little more closely. Some objects are decoys. Audio cues throughout a level may appear, trying to lead you on your exploration, maybe towards your tape, maybe towards the way out. Sometimes, a tape may be more tucked away and difficult to find, but, a wanderer only needs to find a VHS tape if they truly wish to move on from this place. 16 tapes, 16 screens… Each found tape will show up at Home in the collection, and finding a tape will also…
