About Noback
It's 2098, and you, a nuclear knight, are going to an underground castle to find your sister Mary, who disappeared a few days back. Game made for Ludum Dare 50 by AraTheDev using Godot Engine. All the credits are at the end of the game.
How to play Noback
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |

Why it is worth playing
Difficulty in Noback comes from the game itself rather than from waiting, unlocking or paying, which is rarer than it should be. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
