About BACKSPACE

BACKSPACE (in all caps for some reason) is an adventure/puzzle game where you start your new job as an intern for the space vessel manufacturing company, MVEM! As you get settled in at your new position, you may get a sense that something strange is going on. The employees that get "promoted" are rarely heard from again... In the mean time, you gotta find your boss's keys.

Explore and solve puzzles!

Wander the lovely landscapes of corporate mundanity, collecting items to add to your arsenal of puzzle solving tools! Perhaps even find the optional collectibles???

Listen to the wonderful original soundtrack!

BACKSPACE has an original soundtrack entirely composed by yours truly! I sure hope it's as good as I think it is.

Experience the comedic story of company conspiracy!

Team up with your co-workers to figure out and put a stop to whatever shady practices the company is up to! BACKSPACE has a wonderful little story with a bunch of moments that I, at the very least, find quite funny. I suppose you can be the judge of my comedic abilities.This company is definitely up to no good, man.

This is the first time playing a game like this and what a wonderful experience! the comedy was perfect and had me laughing throughout, puzzles are just the right amount of challenge to be fun. and the story had me interested from the start. The only trouble i really had was with the timed sections due to not being use to using a keyboard and mouse, My partner who is did this first time so you all should not have trouble. And if you are like me the game gives you the option to turn this off before you start so thank you for that option!

Everything about the game is super endearing! Although some of the puzzles had me guessing a bit before I figured them out, I never got frustrated. I enjoyed it a lot!

This is one of those times I wish we had a mixed review option. I really want to recommend this game, and I hate to be the first negative review, since it's a charming indie game that clearly has a lot of effort put into it, but I got stuck multiple times and it didn't entirely feel like my fault. This is gonna have puzzle spoilers. First was the storage room where I got stuck multiple times. First(again), the paper that says "F8" I could hardly even tell that it's an 8. I actually thought this was a name at first or something and that the 8 was some kind of weird E or a stylized 0. This is combined with the fact that not a single one of the boxes besides the one you need to open is interactable, giving me no indication that I was supposed to find a specific one. I just clicked on some and then thought I couldn't interact with any of them, at least yet. One of my friends said he had to brute force this puzzle clicking on every box. I think if there were some lines of dialogue for the other boxes about how we need to make sure it's going to the right place then it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Or if it was just more clear that it was an 8 at least, but I'm not really sure what …
