Our take on ...Knew the Beginning
The action tag gives the game a more active impression than its described structure supports. Its core is a point-and-click adventure built around puzzles, NPC conversations, and a humorous post-apocalyptic story, while backward walking is explicitly part of the presentation.
What is ...Knew the Beginning?
Wake inside a bar after the apocalypse and find the bartender in trouble.
This point-and-click adventure follows efforts to assist him, with puzzles and conversations forming the main progression. Interactions with several NPCs are needed to gain their cooperation during the quest. The setting contains remnants of the previous world and a new social order controlled by a gang known as the Survivors. The journey introduces friendly and unfriendly characters as the protagonist tries to adapt to this unfamiliar hierarchy. Humor is part of the game's tone. The character's backward walking is presented as an intentional feature rather than a glitch.
