  • JULY Dev Update! - 20 July 2026

    What's new for July ? Despite the heat I was really busy with the game this month!LOTS OF LEVEL ART THIS MONTH :I've really progressed and have now a general idea of what ACT2 and ACT3 will look like.A PERSISTANT ENEMYI've spent a lot of time perfecting this type of enemy that is not like the other. While most of the creatures you'll meet in the BACKWORLDS will fall for your tricks and parkour movements, this one will not allow you to let your guard down and can chase you through a whole level. I've decided against showing more for now, but you'll hear of it more the closer I get to the game release.WHAT'S NEXTI will be focusing on finishing ACT2 100% and some of ACT4.If you wanna see more, follow me on Twitter or Bluesky.See you soon!PabloMy BlueskyMy Twitter

Teasing the new biome with its mechanical aspects :ACT2 PROGRESS, COBWEBA new gameplay mechanic in this act are cobweb that slows you down when you touch it. Beware of it when you're being chased.WHAT'S NEXTRight now I'm privilieging making more saferooms and having a completed level in ACT3.If you wanna see more, follow me on Twitter or Bluesky.See you soon!PabloMy BlueskyMy Twitter

  • MAY Dev Update! - 14 May 2026

    As promised, my update for the month of may! CLOSED PLAYTEST OF ACT1Lots of time went forward a closed playtest to test ACT1 of the game (which includes two levels) that I'm relieved to say is 100% done.UI UPDATE, LOW/MEDIUM QUALITY IMPROVEMENTSI've also made significant progress toward the UI, and ensuring that low and medium quality settings are both optimized and visually impressive. A PEAK AT THE WIND MECHANICThis first act includes a level where there are strong gusts of wind pushing the player periodically. You can hide behind walls to avoid being thrown off ledges, or use it to reach platforms you couldn't reach normally!WHAT'S NEXTI'm on rails now, and I've already started doing lots of level art on the second act.If you wanna see more, follow me on Twitter or Bluesky.See you soon!Pablo My Bluesky

  • Resuming THE BACKWORLDS development - 27 October 2025

    Hello everyone! It's a bit dusty in here so I want to thank anyone who are still around.WHERE I'M ATLike I said last post, my goal has always been to deliver short quality and original horror games, and THE BACKWORLDS while small in scope, was a bit too big investment of time for me without being sure to be able to release it.This is why I took a one year break from this game to release a smaller project called AUTO-CRISIS.RESUMING DEVELOPMENTNow that that's over with, I have been resuming work on THE BACKWORLDS once again with more experience on how to deliver, manage expectations and scope a game. Right now my goal is to release by Q3 2026, and to be able to maintain a rythm of releasing a game each year.I will be posting more news on my bluesky and discord if you're interested! My Bluesky

  • A new game : AUTO-CRISIS and BACKWORLDS' OST previews - 24 December 2024

    AUTO-CRISIS I've been very busy. My goal has always been to deliver short quality horror experiences, that's why I learned to code and develop on Unreal - but I've never released a game with a price tag and realized I needed that experience. That's why I've been working on a shorter game called AUTO-CRISIS! AUTO-CRISIS will release around March! A demo will be available in January. This will allow me to experiment marketing and game pricing with shorter games, and see what tracks. OST PREVIEWS But I didn't stop working and planning THE BACKWORLDS, especially in the music department. I've been working with Aby to deliver the very special mood of the game I've always wanted to create. Here are some previews: Be sure to visit AUTO-CRISIS steam page and add it to your wishlist.

  • Next-Fest 2024 + Dev Update - 14 October 2024

    About the demo Hey, this is Pablo, the developper of The Backworlds. If you see this post because of the Next-Fest, welcome! I'm really glad of the positive feedback I recieved for the demo released a few months ago and I'm working towards completing the game. I'm mostly a one man team and I never sold a game. So It's taking a little while to learn the in and out of the industry in that department and how to best market THE BACKWORLDS. Information about the final game I wanted to give you some information about the planned content for the game. The demo contains basically half of the first level. There are 5 levels planned for the game, so based on the average playtime of people playing through the demo, it would average a total lenght of about 80 to 120 minutes of total playtime, but it should be taken into account that since the game's design makes so you can take a lots of shortcut,…

  • Demo Update v1.1.2 - 30 June 2024

    First, thanks for all the feedback that was given for the Demo! Here is a small update fixing the most common problems that players faced: Tower section reworked for better visibility and difficulty. Generally added more markings to guide the player through the level. Fixed a bug where it wouldn’t load the level if you fell out early on in the game. Default Mouse sensitivity is now lower.

About this game

RUN, JUMP, ESCAPE. Endlessly high buildings of dead ruins are towering over a giant chasm of green thick mist. But the reality of our world is seeping in, and some familiar places are now stuck there. This is how you are invited there - against your will. The BACKWORLDS are dry and decayed ; but this place is not unhabited. They are of all size and shape, and are all eager to see you fall or play with your corpse. Yet in this horrifying and alien world, there is hope. A pink star can be seen shining through the sky, your only guide left. Only one way to reach it : adapt to this world and outsmart the creatures chasing you. There will be no respite, there will be no rest. You must stay strong, live, and run. IMMERSE yourself in this horrifying adventure and unravel the mysteries of this dark decaying realm. JOURNEY through the remains the crumbling ruins of a long dead civilization, and reach the mysterious pink star, your only guide in this place. ADAPT to the dangers that surrounds you. You are no fighter : against some of your chasers, you will have to run faster - for some quicker creatures, you'll have to be quick-witted. HIDE when there are no options left. CHALLENGE yourself by timing your levels completitions using your running skills.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.00
  • Highest observed: $0.00

THE BACKWORLDS's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.00, the highest is $0.00, and the first visible tracked price is $0.00. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

THE BACKWORLDS's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00. The latest run records $0.00 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.00
  • Current list price: $0.00
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records THE BACKWORLDS at $0.00 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
