About

Back to the Future: The Game is one of Telltale Games' popular episodic games. It follows the story of the famous Marty McFly and Doc Brown as they stumble through another adventure in time. It is broken into 5 episodes, and incorporates Telltale's unique spin on point-and-click games.
Storyline

Six months after the events of Back to the Future Part III, the DeLorean Time Machine mysteriously returns to Hill Valley—driverless! Now, Marty must go back to 1931 to recruit the help of a reluctant teenage Emmett Brown in order to save 1985’s Doc from certain death. Can they repair the rifts of the past without accidentally erasing the future?
