Backward Poiesis is a short horror walking simulator based on interviews about a man identified as Mr. A. After moving into a new house, he finds an old video camera; when he turns it on, it contains inexplicable and bizarre footage. You relive recreated scenes from the camera as if you were the person filming.

Interview-based story

The game uses audio from actual interviews and footage recreated from those interviews, presenting a horror story based on real events. Its scenes recreate the camera recordings, including their texture, and let you explore the mysterious images from the filmmaker’s perspective.

Unclear footage

The recordings do not explain what they were filmed for. They may appear connected to the online movements Liminal Space and Backrooms, but the story’s meaning is left open for you to consider through the footage and Mr. A’s account. The game’s horror comes from wandering through an inorganic space and trying to make sense of what you see.
