About Behind the Screen
Behind the Screen is a puzzle, stealth and fighting game in which you explore the memories of a suspected murderer to uncover the truth. Set in Taiwan in the 1970s, after the end of the Martial Law Period and before internet use became widespread, its story examines how media and audiences can damage a person's life and judge a crime based on one-sided accounts. The game takes about one to two hours to finish, with questions intended to prompt further thought after you solve its puzzles.
Story and themes
The chapters draw on events from Taiwan's history and include hidden metaphors. As you explore the suspect's memories, you encounter issues such as media abuse and stereotypes. The game's Chinese title, “Screen Judges,” reflects its theme: without seeing the truth, anyone can judge others unfairly from behind a screen.
Art and setting
The game uses a surreal picture-book style inspired by old Taiwanese hand-drawn color advertisements and posters. Its imagery blends reality and imagination in a style that resembles photographs while differing from traditional oil painting, evoking Taiwan's past and culture.
