About
Immerse yourself in Backspace Backspace Backspace, a narrative-driven game that explores the inner turmoil of a struggling writer in an age where AI has made the written word wholly automated.
Game Features:
Narrative-focused visual novella putting the player in the shoes of a tortured creative soul.
Homemade pixel art direction reminiscent of the GBA era.
Full soundtrack of chiptune-style music.
Meaningful choices.
Dialogue available in nine languages (so far!): English, Arabic, Turkish, French, Chinese (traditional & simplified), Korean, Russian, Vietnamese, and Japanese! Get in touch if you can help localize the game in other languages.
Two endings. Try to get both!
We made this game in one week. Debugging and further touch-ups took two months. We never created pixel art or original music before, but we used this project as an opportunity to push ourselves outside our comfort zone and grow more independent as a team of two. Above all else, Backspace Backspace Backspace is our love letter to every creative soul out there. Keep making!
Because we appreciate transparency, and to help you save your money, here's what this game is not:
A "long" game. We made this game with compactness in mind. Expect no more than 20 minutes of gameplay.
A flawless game. Backspace Backspace Backspace is a small project made in a limited time frame, with limited experience, and virtually no resources, with the intent of learning how to make a game from scratch. Naturally, it will have technical issues. We are still working on them, but we don't want this game to hold us back from focusing on our next project. If you encounter a bug, please let us know.
We have many more games lined up in the near future. If you already purchased Backspace Backspace Backspace and would like to support us further, we would be immensely grateful to you. Leave us a review, tell your friends about this game, or purchase the Backspace Backspace Backspace soundtrack (which is also available on YouTube for free).

um jogo de 20 minutos vai me fazer refletir por 20 dias.
Honestly, for this price its a steal. The music and graphics are pretty well made and polished. And Its a short fun game to play through in less than 45 minutes. Ps. loving the achievement "Stop That"

اللعبة جميلة تتحدث عن صعوبة الكتابة وعن كيف التقنية منها الذكاء الاصطناعي اخذ الابداع من البشر معاناة البحث عن الابداع حتى الرسامين يعانون من هذا جميلة رسالة اللعبة
I must give this game a great deal of applause. At first, I assumed it would be nothing more than a dull, reading-heavy experience. Yet, it turned out to be something truly extraordinary. It made me reflect repeatedly, as everything within the game felt deeply relatable — almost as if it mirrored parts of myself. What struck me even more was how closely the themes aligned with the challenges I am currently facing, turning each line of dialogue into something worth contemplating. Who would have thought that such a simple game could capture my attention so profoundly? A remarkable experience. 10/10.
This looks like an experimental game, with themes of struggle with self-worth, and AI as a comparison of output. The message is a bit weird, starts relatable with the struggling while the character is at the PC, but takes a confusing turn when they leave. After that I couldn't relate to the story, but it was still interesting. The sound and art are nice, don't take the focus from the story. There are a couple of bugs: - I watched the credits first and got locked there, I actually triggered the backspace achievement because I was tapping on the keyboard trying to leave. Had to close the game. - On the in-game menu I clicked to restart, and just stayed locked in the game. Had also to close the game to restart. But it is a very tiny game, good to try if you like experimental stuff.

推荐有创作型爱好/梦想的玩家游玩,虽然主角到最后仍然写作痛苦以及突然冒出的莫名鸡汤,不过照样接受明天的太阳
