♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, i am not that type of guy who gets scared, most movies of horror or games get overwritten by my way of logical thinking but this time there was no logic, i got in the character, i felt like i was the character, i've played only josh's tape, man i was tense as hell, even more after the smile tape, it was perfect, now some may not like it, but the more grainy it is the better, im using an lcd tv here, that makes it even grainier, the tv can make 4k, it a good tv, but the lack of the good quality black pixels from oled screen made it way more immerssive and camera like, also my game decided that good graphics are grainy too, v sinc included. Very good game, it scared me, and i thank you for it. Also, tip for players, stop at every little thing, furniture, ambience, hallways and corners, stop and zoom in, that gives the immerssion a new layer, also play at midnight. My heart cant take 2 tapes in a row, i imma play the other one later. UPDATE: since they remade the system i've replayed the first tape, i know the VHS effect was too high, making it very grainy and blurry, I know they removed it just for now, but the very blurry "camera" effect was what gave me the chills, not being able to accutualy see things accuraly was what made me scared, now as for the update, yes they made it more optimised, yes the grphics are better, yes they made it so the system could render properly on a screen like mine, and it was very nice they came back adding stuff and all, but i miss a lot the "bad" graphics due to the blurr caused by the bad optimizarion, and this lighting revamp kinda killed some areas, making them to bright, gamma fixes it a little, but only a little. I hope they add some sliders so you can change and go mayham with the film grain and camera, so i can have my "bad" graphics again, also i think they should go back and tone down the lights a little, the backrooms lost some tension in all areas, mostly the smiler area, the gnome island and the grass field, being able to see everything even with max gamma and o flashlight is kind of immerssion breaking, this is my opinion

I was blown away by this game. I've played a lot of liminal games and this surprisingly is one of the best. Breathtaking visuals, environments and it runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck, minus just couple rough open areas. Like everyone else is saying I hope there are more tapes coming!

This game is awesome. It combines everything I ask for in Backrooms - liminal spaces, creepiness, active danger, story. Most other Backrooms games only have some of these qualities. Also it's not short. Strongly recommended to everyone who looks for the same qualities as I do in Backrooms games. Yes, it's still just a walking simulator. But a good walking simulator is what I came for.
