About Forwards
Suggestion Of How to Play This:
As the designer behind this, I suggest playing this alone where you can take your time and experience this. I'm hoping this adds a bit of positivity and brightness into your life.This is intended for "First Person Shooter" players who use WASD controls... kind of... you'll see.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Controls:
The gameplay for PC players is looking around with the mouse and moving with the WASD keys, kind of.Players can use a controller, just use the joysticks for movement and looking around. There are Haptics for the controller
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Game Intent:
As you move through the game, you'll "Discover" things and through that discovery, I hope to take you on a journey of looking inside your life."Forwards" is an expression of my personal journey as a designer.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Playtime: Approximately 1 Min
Average playtime is about a minute with the game instantly starting and immediately closing when it's over. There is no menu.- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Note On Playthrough:
Some people have gotten stuck and taken longer and some people have gone through missing parts of it. I took the consideration of making the game easier to playthrough at the potential cost of players going through it the wrong way. Still, I hope the majority of players are able to experience the fullness of this game.- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder:
This is an prototype for an experiential linear narrative walking sim.- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Spoilers and Inspiration:
The Backwards level in The Beginner's Guide. I altered the level, the narrative, the controls, lighting and audio, that I hope, tells it's own story and differentiates it from that level.The environment feeling is suppose to be that of the The Stanley Parable which is the same developer as The Beginner's Guide

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This game was really inspirational and taught me to have the courage to move forward. Even if you can't move forward in life, you only have to find the courage and determination to do so. This game changed my life forever in the 16 minutes that I took to beat it.1 found this helpful

11/10! Some of the other comments are complaining about how short the game time is, or that is basically like the one level in The Beginner's Guide, but you know what. It only takes about one minute to play, and that's how it's supposed to be. It has a great message and honestly it was a really nice little experience. I really enjoyed this. I do want to note that the game framerate might be a little bit slow at first, especially as your turn your camera, but since you only need to move your camera a few times, it wasn't that bad. After the first few seconds the lag seemed to die down, since it was mostly caused by the motion blur. Also, if you are on a computer, no your controls aren't broken, just turn around! Some people find that it is confusing, but actually exploring and thinking about it is a part of the experience! As short as the game is, I don't want to go into too much depth on it, as it would end up spoiling the whole thing. If you're reading reviews to decide if you want to play it or not, go ahead and download it. Either way, its only a minute! What do you have to loose?
