Are the news being spread in the world true?...

"Behind The Screen" is a suspense puzzle action game, set in Taiwan of an age when the internet was still not common, tracing the life of "a certain murderer", seeking the truth which has been bent and can no longer be distinguished.
Why did the young man who got arrested as his father's murderer had such an ending? Looking back at his childhood, boyhood, and to the moments leading up to the incident, the player will face truth and conflict.
