About this game

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.

BACK*SPACE is a liminal space exploration game inspired by many of our favorite takes of liminal space; dead malls, strange corridors, and abandoned places, analog nostalgia. I love liminal spaces myself, and so decided to create the game I wanted to play. What I love about these spaces is the idea of being alone in the unknown, lost in these strange, surreal rooms, and just being free to explore. I hope to have created rooms that are confusing enough to feel vaguely lost, but not so mazelike so as to feel like a penance. This game has no monsters, no action, no time limit, no intensity, it is intended very much to be a smooth, (mostly) quiet exploration, so action adventurers will not find that kind of satisfaction in this game. at all.
