About BACKSPACE
BACKSPACE is an adventure puzzle game where you explore a suspicious space vessel manufacturing company, solving puzzles and collecting items while uncovering a corporate conspiracy that makes promoted employees disappear. Featuring an original soundtrack and darkly comedic storytelling, it combines exploration and mystery-solving as you work with coworkers to expose your employer's shady practices.
You're the new intern at 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.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
BACKSPACE is a charming indie puzzle game that players praise for its endearing story, clever humor, and well-balanced puzzles that provide just the right amount of challenge. While most players enjoy the experience and appreciate the accessibility options and post-game museum, some have found certain puzzles frustratingly unclear or difficult to parse visually, occasionally leading to confusion about what objects are interactable. Players seem enthusiastic about the game and consider it worth experiencing, particularly for those who enjoy story-driven indie puzzles.
More people need to play this game. I had to do two playthroughs to really appreciate it all. Awesome little indie game!3 found this helpful
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!3 found this helpful

really cute game! the dye puzzle got me stuck for a little while but it doesn't bring the game down. i appreciate the post game museum a lot, I love seeing people's creative process and their thoughts on their projects. wish you luck on any future gamedev endeavours!1 found this helpful
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!1 found this helpful
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 …
