The Backrooms

only issue is that by clicking either P or I it sends you to a debug mode where you can go through walls and you cannot go back into the character, besides the small issue, great game.

i dont know if its a bug or not but when you press Ctrl-O you can fly and do almost what you want to do and you cant get out of it you have to press windows on your keybord and press X in the top right corner anyways i like the game and the idea behind it and i would love to see how the game will get better and all that

Played the game yesterday through all that was available with my kids, then played it again today after an update to record for my youtube channel. I am a huge fan of the changes and look forward to seeing what comes in the future.

Graphics are pretty good, sounds are good, voice acting was good, overall feeling of creepy backrooms was good.
Main thing I would say is the monsters felt a little easy to avoid at the moment, but could probably have that fixed with a few tweaks to their placement or the placement of objectives.

At the moment it is a short game, I finished in under 45 minutes, but I look forward to seeing what is done with it in the future and what might be added. I can confirm the game is not a dead game, it literally got a big update between yesterday and today.
Was it worth 10 bucks at this point, hard to say, though the game quality overall was good so I am inclined to say yes and definately if you catch it on sale.

Looking forward to what the developer does in the future with this because there were hints at a good bit more coming.

-This game does not have a save feature, so every try must be from the beginning to the end, what makes it repetitive.

-It does not have a multiplayer option, what is good for this game genre, but you can't share the experience with friends.

-The hostile creatures do not seem to pose a real threat to the player and after you understand what are you running from, it becomes boring.

-The constant breath sound is more irritating than something to reduce the player situational awareness.

-Creature sounds coming from the walls, what does not make sense and it seems to come from the next and/or previous areas, above or under the position of the player.

-There are almost no division from the actual level to the next or the previous, what is a problem for loading/unloading resources, like textures, and can cause bad performance (and emanates sounds from other adjacent "maps").

-The movement of the head is delayed, what is not interesting too.

This game is not fun. It is stressing and it is not because of its terror background, but because of the amount of bad game mechanics.

Glitchiest game ever. Crashes constantly.

love playing the game although the heavy breathing needs to be cut back a bit

gotta make sure more people find this gem
game is short but there is a lot of love put into this and its a really really scary game
10/10 would noclip again

Unfortunately, what could easily be an 8 out of 10 experience is only letdown by a barrage of enemies and a very worrisome tendency to not listen to feedback. Also, if you die, no matter how far you were, its back to square one.
Just another Backrooms that tries to create horror and tension by simply throwing enemies at you.

Whilst the visuals (lighting, and graphics) are impeccable, I cannot in good faith recommend this game. Firstly, it is clear a lot of work went into this game. However, given it is the backrooms, I think great portions of that effort was used in the wrong areas. There are too many monsters. It makes it scary, but it completely ruins the tension when there are constantly monsters, and monsters being heard rooms away through the walls at that. The other problem is that after dying, you spawn from the same point (which could be fine) however, the objective is linear and requires you to take the same route (making it feel more of a platformer than an adventure), and this coupled with the excess amount of monsters means you are inevitably going to get into a routine of constantly sprinting the same path over and over again. Credit where credit is due, while there are too many monsters i would say the sounds they make, and the characters breathing, and the ambient noises in general, are very well made and suitable. Office level is way too linear as well. I only ever felt lost at the begginning a couple times, and maybe a couple times during the pool section. The objective is too get a battery cell and power the starting room door. It took me about half an hour to complete the first time, and as of november 2024, once on the other side there is a little area that says "to be continued"... ? It appears that is the end of the game thus far, and the game is two years old. So it feels very incomplete. Additionally, it should be worth mentioning that to get the battery cell there, you have to run it from the office, all the way through the pool rooms, and back into the starting section. That is fine... however in order to carry it you must HOLD down left click. So you are running the length of the map, while holding left click. It is not ideal, but worse over, at times when I was sprinting away from the monsters, the battery cell being held would slowly get closer to the players face and would clip into your FOV and make everything blurry and look quite glitchy. Last, whilst traveling through the tunnel (immediatly after opening the picture / painting room) my character got stuck and noclipped through the ground and died twice. That is a clear bug, and once you die from it you have to again, run the entire gauntlet which only adds to the repetition. At the end of the day, it is still obvious a lot of good work and time was invested into making this product. However, I don't think the end result is satisfactory enough for a backrooms game. This is an opinion, so it is ok if others disagree, but for me I think a backrooms game should focus on space, the environment itself, and freedom or large scale mobility in a variety of path ways. Backrooms games should frighten you with the sheer volume of space and immense sizes, coupled with claustrophobic miniscule tight spaces here and there, all ranging from pitch black darkness to light blinding brightness. (this game does do an ok job of that, since there are some tight squeeze areas and large rooms) . If you can achieve that, throw in the RARE monster or 2, and that will capture the perfect horror vibe this genre excells at giving. Do I recommend? No. If more segments were added, and some bugs were addressed, and monster count was reduced? I would whole heartedly recommend.

It scared me

Abandonware DO NOT BUY. ZERO updates in over a year.

Too many monsters that are way too aggressive, you're just running away all the time and that takes away the frightening atmosphere. I gave the game several chances and hoped for a decent update, but the developers don't seem to care about feedback, it's a shame because the game looked really promising.

not bad but just a bit too short.

Help I'm still on level 0 and I ran into the holes on the floors that are seen in I think a Kane Pixels Backrooms video, where a guy falls into the pit, anyways, I went into it and a black figure peaked out and I closed my eyes so hard I thought they were gonna bulge out from the feeling of how hard, certified scary af, would recommend

Not fun. Not Scary. Frustrating. Boring. Annoying. A chore to play. The the camera and motion is vomit inducing.
RELEASE DATE:
29 Oct, 2022. Yea This game isn't getting finished any time soon. Wish I could refund my time back 😠
