About This Game

The Girl Walks Back is a dark, atmospheric monochrome puzzle-adventure set in a gloomy world.

You control a young girl who has wandered deep into the forest and attempts to return to her village. However, this forest will not release you easily.

■ Unique Controls: Darkness Guided by a Single Mouse

Featuring a distinctive side-view perspective, the girl navigates the forest using only simple mouse controls. No complex key inputs are required. Instead, you will be tested on your wit to solve escape-game-like puzzles by investigating the environment, and your reflexes in moments requiring precise mouse action.

■ Two Choices of Path That Determine Fate

Each stage offers two distinct ways to proceed: a path focused on puzzles and another relying on action.

The path you choose and the method you use to overcome obstacles—that momentary decision—will lead to different endings.

■ The Ambiguous "8 Endings"

The greatest charm of this title is the 8 branching conclusions determined by the player's actions and choices.

There are no standard happy endings or simple bad endings here.

■ Recommended for Players Who:

  • Want to immerse themselves in a dark world and atmospheric setting.

  • Are looking for a puzzle-action game with unique controls and a distinctive perspective.

  • Want to unlock all 8 endings and fully explore the game's deep narrative world.
