About the Game

Backfools is a first-person adventure game.

Story

One ordinary moment, you suddenly find yourself lost in a strange and unfamiliar place.

You wander through rooms that feel oddly familiar—almost nostalgic, as if you've seen them somewhere before.

There, you encounter the beings who inhabit this space.

Will you remain here forever?

Or will you find a way to leave?

No one knows.
