The Long Awaited 'Survival Update’!

Back in 1995 · published 7 Nov 2017, 19:29 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The Survival Update, as its name suggests, is not DLC, but an update to the game itself.

Mac Compatibility


Up until the update to the Steam SDK in July, the way Big Picture worked meant we were unable to offer a Mac version, but that's all changed now.
Sorry to keep all the Mac owners waiting, but it's finally here.

Price Change


Back in 1995 is currently $7.99 as part of the Degica Sale this week,
but once this is finished, we'll be changing the price to $9.99.

English Voices


Voices have been added to the in-game cut scenes.

Additional Hard Mode + Overall Rebalancing


Ichijo-san reviewed and changed the fixed animation frames for the player character and hit detection, which is why this is no longer just an added mode, but an update to the entire game.
This is why that while system data is backwards compatible, save data is not. So even those of you who finished the game in a previous version will be playing from the beginning again.

New location, enemies and puzzles


This update contains a new location: "The Factory". There are some new puzzles and some existing stages also have additional locations. However, there are no achievements.

Updated Controller Support


Added compatibility for a lot more controllers and changed the game to handle full controller support too. Hopefully, this will also fix many of the controller-related issues some of you were experiencing.

Other Items


Improved various elements including camera work, effects, the scenario etc.

Hope you all enjoy the update!

Experience a stage-based platformer in the style of the 8-bit greats, a story-driven Metroidvania with a distinctly 16-bit flair, a loving tribute to early 3D survival horror experiences from the 32-bit era, and a more modern 64-bit throwback to all of the above. In true nostalgia fashion, these aren’t actually 8-, 16-, or 32-bit, but rather represe…Community30 Oct 2018Back in 1995 coming to consoles & Halloween Sale!Throw the warped code out in conjunction with Ratalaika Games and publisher Media Create will be bringing Back in 1995 to Switch, PS4, Vita and XboxONE in Spring 2019!
