About the game
In an AI-powered age where original authors have become largely redundant, play as a dejected writer on the brink of losing their creative drive forever.
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.
Gameplay
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!
Background
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.
