Back to 1998

About

Back to 1998 is a point-and-click adventure that channels the nostalgia of 90s-era games. You play as a character stranded in various 90s settings, using environmental puzzles and quirky gadgets to piece together a path home. The gameplay leans into the era's tech and culture with retro cell phones, VHS tapes, and dial-up internet, all tied together by a lighthearted script full of deadpan jokes and memorable character interactions. Bold Pixel the developer behind The Book of Unwritten Tales series brings its signature polish to this title. The game runs on PC Linux and Mac with single-player support, offering a self-contained story that clocks in around 8 to 10 hours. Community feedback highlights the humor and attention to period detail, with many calling it a heartfelt tribute to classic adventure games. The puzzles occasionally lean on lateral thinking but rarely feel unfair.
