Back Home is an experimental atmospheric game. It is the story of a ship lost in space, and the dialogue between its Captain and his navigation AI 'Navi'. It is a tribute to Interstellar, and an experiment creating a deep atmosphere with a short time constraints. It's also my first time creating voice over and I enjoyed it a little too much :D

Thanks for playing :-)

Enjoyed the Narrative, especially "Ooooooheeeewwwiiii" haha Can get repetitive fast :)

Hi there. Nice atmosphere you achieved. Went through twice but seemed to be same on second. Not much for player to do once experienced it. Really nice sounds and graphics.

This sound in the background is cool.Like the voice acting very much... nice piece of art!

I like this! Amusing story (if a bit dark!). Looks really great too.

"woooooouuuuuuu" lol. Too bad there's only 1 possible ending, or I'm missing something? Anyways, some of the narrative was quite funny. :)

Really impressive! The narration and art are really cool. A perfect little experience.

Lost in space and time! The visual is spectacular! I love how you guys managed to curve/distort the black hole's sphere, creates for an atmospheric sensation. Also, great job on the narrative, you guys sounded like you had a good time with voice acting! My only gripe is the game's interaction with the player, there is literally almost none. - LeMix

Awesome game! Good narrative! The pauses between Navi's words could be a tiny bit smaller sometimes.
You did really well with the voice over. What audio tools did you use for the voice over?
Regarding the number of comments this game is absolutely underrated!

Voice overs were done in Adobe Audition

Graphics were very impressive, and audio was beautiful. The player has little impact on the story though, regardless of whether you go into the black hole or not you get the same dialogue and the same ending.
Needs more content and more player impact.
