About the Game

Back From Earth tells the story of Blip-Blop, a small, fragile, and lost alien who crash-landed far from home.
To return, they must ascend through unknown planets, each with its own soul and its own symbol.

Throughout the journey, the player will have to jump, explore, and discover unique mechanics for each planet: from a blinding sandstorm, to a rain of meteors, to slippery surfaces that punish those who lose control.
Every challenge is part of Blip-Blop’s emotional journey, a reflection of their pain and rebirth.

The soundtrack of each planet accompanies its soul, amplifying the atmosphere and emotions.
Those who explore carefully will discover a True Ending and the Real Lore Fragments, hidden pieces that reveal the true story behind the journey, the story of its creator.

Back From Earth is a short, accessible, deeply emotional and autobiographical experience. It is not about winning.
It is about taking one more step forward, until pain becomes something new.
