A celebration of gaming history, indie style! Experience a stage-based platformer in the style of the 8-bit greats, a story-driven Metroidvania with a distinctly 16-bit flair, a loving tribute to early 3D survival horror experiences from the 32-bit era, and a more modern 64-bit throwback to all of the above. In true nostalgia fashion, these arent actually 8-, 16-, or 32-bit, but rather representations of the way we all remember games from those eras to be. So put on your rose-colored glasses and pajamas, grab a bowl of cereal, and transport yourself back to a simpler time in gaming!

A throwback to the survival horror and mystery games of the original PlayStation, Back in 1995 faithfully re-creates everything from this all-but-forgotten era of games.

Be transported to a world both concrete and indistinct, where you must uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of your daughter, the catastrophe that shook the city, and why you’ve decided to finally return.

Back in 1995 was created as a labour of love by indie developer Takaaki Ichijo as a means to replicate the unique feeling he had from his first gaming experiences: the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.

Features:

• Get lost in the nostalgic world of retro 3D graphics, including low res models, texture warping, CRT emulation, and fixed CCTV style camera angles.
  
• Relive the mystery game genre with an old-school user interface and tank controls.
  
• Explore a sparse cityscape in the year 1995, littered with clues about the past.
  
• Interact with a cast of damaged characters whose intentions you can never truly know.
  
• Uncover the mystery of yourself, your daughter, and what happened to the city.

※ D-pad recommended
