What is BACK*SPACE?

In this first-person walking simulator, you suddenly arrive in an unfamiliar place of deserted offices, malls, and poolrooms. A central hub connects 16 levels you can visit in any order, searching each for a hidden VHS tape whose location can change between visits. There are no enemies or threats, and collecting tapes is only necessary if you want to leave.
