Absurd Story: Back Home is a steampunk-style adventure exploration puzzle game. You follow Zhou Ruoshui, a mechanic who returns to his hometown after a catastrophic disaster to search for his parents. He becomes caught up in a strange adventure as he meets acquaintances and strangers and uncovers buried truths.

The city and its people

The story takes place in a fictional era and city where many characters live and work until a disaster changes the place. Zhou Ruoshui returns seeking the truth and hoping to find his relatives. Much of the city and its buildings serve as locations to explore, and the people he meets have a range of talents and backgrounds.

A steampunk world

The setting combines technology and mythology through local steampunk design. The game uses coarse-grained pixel art, with portraits for all characters, and its world is dark much of the time, with hints of the unknown and strange.

Timelines and puzzles

You piece together events through two protagonists and multiple timelines, solving puzzles to move the story forward. The puzzles are designed to be low in difficulty for the sake of the narrative.
