Don't Look Back
2017/catbull
Don't Look Back is a 2009 platform game playable through Adobe Flash and designed by Terry Cavanagh. The game is a modern interpretation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. The game is a combination of two ideas: Cavanagh wished to create a "silly shooter" where the player's actions were "redeemed" after being shown from a different perspective, and he also wished to create a game where the gameplay acted as a metaphor for the player's actions. Critics praised the game's addictiveness and presentation, but had different opinions over its high difficulty level.
