Back Then Windows, Mac, Linux, VR game

‘Back Then’ is a short atmospheric first-person adventure game, with elements of detective exploration, mystery, and themes of self-discovery.

Back Then takes place in a retirement home, where the players control Thomas, an aged man in his 80’s suffering from Alzheimer’s.
He moves around in his wheelchair, and rarely receives visits from his family. Seeing himself alone and with no one to talk to, he starts to try remembering his past through the various important objects in his life - such as a wedding photo, his father’s dog tag from WWII, his guitar, his wedding ring, among various others.
