Once upon a time, we lived in an age where gaming sessions didn’t just see us play games, but cables would come loose, and game cartridges would need to be reinserted. Those days may be far behind us, but the 80’s and 90’s live on in our memories and our hearts.

It is because of that fondness for what once was that some developers can’t help but create video games inspired by their childhood and the games they played, and thus we come to Back in 1995.

Developed by Throw the Warped code out and previously released on the likes of Steam and New Nintendo 3DS, Back in 1995 is a survival horror game that is a both a throwback and a recreation of games from a bygone era and it Ratalaika Games’ pleasure to announce that is 90’s inspired classic, is in the process of being ported to PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

In the Japan region, this title will be released by Mediascape Co. Ltd.
