Backseat (v1.0.0)

A late-night taxi becomes a rolling interrogation room in this tense narrative thriller, where every passenger could be a lead, a liar, or your killer. Your wife’s abduction forces you into the service of BK26, an unseen controller who orders you to collect dangerous people and deliver them across a hostile city. The premise turns an ordinary drive into a nerve-racking survival scenario: strangers sit inches away, a bomb may be beneath the vehicle, and the wrong reaction can end the night instantly. Its mood is claustrophobic, paranoid, and deliberately uncomfortable rather than action-heavy.

Most of the experience revolves around observing passengers, holding cautious conversations, and recording what you learn in a logbook. Riders reveal details through their stories, behavior, contradictions, and emotional outbursts, while your questions need to be chosen with care; pushing too hard can turn useful suspicion into immediate danger. Between fares, a computer gives you access to databases and darker corners of the internet, letting you research names, connect clues, and search for information that may keep you alive. Missions ask you to complete pickups and drop-offs, submit findings to BK26, and gradually trace the conspiracy surrounding your wife, all while deciding when obedience is safer than defiance.

Backseat stands apart by making information its primary weapon: combat is not the fantasy here, but reading people under pressure is. The taxi setting creates a compact, effective stage for branching tension, since every conversation carries the possibility of exposure and each ride can go wrong inside or outside the car. Choices appear to matter not simply as dialogue flavor, but as survival decisions that shape how much risk you take in pursuing the truth. Fans of psychological, choice-driven games such as The Wolf Among Us, Papers, Please, or interrogation-focused crime stories should find plenty to like, especially if they prefer slow-burn suspense over constant gunfire.
