If you dig deep into our stories, you will find that it’s not just an “easy game”.

About the Game:
In “Behind the Screen”, players will explore deeply into the memories of a suspected murderer’s life, in order to dig out the real truth. The whole storyline is set in 1970s when Taiwan just got rid of Martial Law Period, and Internet hasn’t widely known nor used. Through this game, you can experience how media destroys a person under the help of audiences, which echoes with the meaning of it’s Chinese name: “Screen Judges”. Without witnessing the truth, everyone could be a judge hide behind the screen, unfairly judging others’ crime by one-sided words.

Art style:
We used a surrealistic picture book art style inspired from old Taiwanese hand-drawn color advertisements and posters. During those times, painter blended reality and imagination to create a realistic style that mimics photos yet is different from traditional oil painting, thus making a picture book style art with great allurement. This delicate and vintage style will bring you strong feelings about Taiwan’s old period, which is absolutely worth experiencing.

### 3/5 — Amazing Graphics,boss too hard to beat

*2020-12-26, version 1.15*

I loved the game so far. The plot was mysterious and keeps me hooked. I couldn't beat the spider boss, I would give it five stars if I had been able to finish the game.

### 1/5 — Don’t expect too much.

*2018-10-10, version 1.07*

The game is boring and the plot is disappointing especially the ending. The only success, if any at all, is the graphic designed. I doubt this and I only say this because someone else say so. Even the graphic does not worth your money.

### 5/5 — Awesome game from Taiwan

*2018-04-05, version 1.01*

Unique graphics. Great game design! Love it!
