The Way Back
A downloadable game for Windows
Narrative
In this story based point and click game, you empathize with an isolated person – isolated from society and isolated from themselves. Barely anything is left of what used to define this human being.
Dig up the intimate past and seemingly long forgotten memories, by exploring every room in the house within one day.
You take control of the course: Depending on how you choose to interact with the objects you come across, the character’s internal conditions change.
So it is up to you, to ensure that the character can move forward, by confronting the past – by finding the way back.
About The Project
This project was created as part of the Experimental Games Lab project at the Bauhaus University Weimar in the Summer Semester of 2020. The aim of the project was to understand the game development process and apply it in the real world.

wow, what a game. I have started to play this game and suddenly noticed that two hours passed. for me, this means I liked the game.
For me, textures were Eye-catching and lovely. full of content. In some parts, I felt like I am the main character and this is my story.
The only criticism that I have is related to the gramophone song that should be longer.
Good luck
Thank you for the kind words, we really appreciate them :) Glad you liked our game.
