About Looking Back
Looking Back is a branching text adventure made by Nobody Cares with an HTML engine. You play Derek Danielson, a once carefree womanizer who is now stuck in a costly divorce, distant from his son, and trapped in a job he dislikes. Two mysterious women enter his life and challenge his belief that nothing worthwhile remains for him. The story follows a mostly linear path with meaningful choices, leading to three main endings plus a hidden one, and it centers on romance, fantasy, and domination.
The current build is finished, released as v1.1 on December 20, 2023. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is written in English, and is uncensored. This update fixed 199 typos and replaced several awkward expressions with plainer wording, giving the text a more natural feel.
Developer's description
Looking back is a choose your own adventure / braching novel that has been buzzing in my head for way too long. Finally, I was able to commit it to the page, the digital page that is. It's about Derek Danielson: party animal and casanova. A carefree, fun-loving, quantity-over-quality kind of guy. The kind of guy who is always in his twenties, until he is not. Derek is now trapped between a messy and expensive divorce, an estranged son, and a job he hates but can't give up. He has by now surrendered to the fact that life has nothing left to offer him and he is now shambling on because that is all he knows. Until two mysterious women drop into his life determined to prove him wrong. Looking Back is my personal spin on the Young Again genre, with a heavy focus on romance, deep heartfelt relationships, and hot steamy sex. There are three main mutually exclusive love interests, each very different from the others. It is a mostly linear experience, but there are several choices, some are insignificant but most are not. There are three endings, each with a significant variation, plus one secret and relatively well-hidden ending. Last but not least: this is not a demo, not a season one, not the first chapter of a trilogy. This is a full story readable and playable from beginning to end.
