About We Went Back
Wake up alone on an abandoned space station and escape by solving environmental puzzles and deciphering clues hidden throughout the dynamically changing habitat. This 30-50 minute escape room experience immerses you in a gorgeous 70s retro-futuristic aesthetic where every detail, from posters to decals, tells a story—and yes, there's a rat.
We Went Back is a time-looping horror game in which you wake up in an abandoned space station utterly alone. The exit door is locked and you must find a way to escape what lurks within. Find clues, experience dynamically changing environments and confront terror in order to find a way out.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
We Went Back is a short sci-fi horror game that players praise for its engaging atmosphere, puzzle design, and memorable experience reminiscent of titles like SOMA and Alien Isolation. Most reviewers highlight that the game delivers an excellent experience in a brief playtime, though some note it may not have replay value and one player mentioned the lack of input remapping as a minor issue. Players generally recommend it as a worthwhile free experience that won't consume much time but will leave a strong impression.
Takes an hour to play through, give or take a little. Probably less for most people, but I'm slow so it took me an hour and a half. It's free so I can't criticize it too much, but it's definitely not replayable. 6/101 found this helpful
First, I'm just so glad I "favorite" some videogames in order to play them later and not forget, or else I'd miss cool experiences like this one. You can call it the typical horror-looping videogame but that isn't a negative whatsoever here. Cool graphics for such a short experience, reminded me of Alien Isolation, which I loved at the time. Puzzles are easy but not completely dumb. And I have made three runs so I could own all achievements. The game did scared me at times, therefore it has a great atmosphere I guess. Recommended! Complete it!1 found this helpful
Short game, big scares! Y’all, this one had me jumping out of my seat. The creepy atmosphere kept me on edge, and a few of those scares gave me goosebumps. Had a blast exploring the station and hunting down every achievement, though Billy Boy sure made me work for that last one! Got my 100%, and I’d absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a quick horror game that’ll scare the daylights out of you.
Not really my cup of tea. A pretty straightforward concept. Controls are a little clunky. For as much work as went into designing the environment, it serves mostly as set dressing for the core gameplay mechanic, which is [spoiler]solving a word puzzle by taking pictures of symbols found on random objects spread throughout the station[/spoiler]. It feels a little like one of those themed escape rooms where the clues and solutions are all written on slips of paper and you don't need to interact with any of the objects in the room except for when one may be hiding a slip of paper. Having said as much, it's free to play and can be completed in under an hour.
I really liked the clue-solving mechanics. The space setting has a nice horror atmosphere, and the graphics are surprisingly good for a free game.
