Real fun game. Could use a bit more depth, progression, gear etc... but what's there for the price is very enjoyable. I hope it has done really well so that the devs get to expand on it and do more.

I’ve played most of the Backroom games, and I highly recommend this one, especially considering the price. Having seen plenty of disappointing games in this genre, here are the things I liked and didn’t like about this one: What I liked: + The graphics are solid and create a great atmosphere. + Creature sound effects are on point and add to the tension. + It supports up to 8 players with decent co-op mechanics that enhance the experience. + Most maps are maze-like, but that actually adds to the fun as you and your friends search for the right paths. + The trading, item, and crafting systems are simple but effective, adding a lot to the gameplay. + The creatures are interesting, with unique designs tailored to each level. + Proximity VOIP works really well and helps create an immersive experience. What I didn’t like: - The maps are large, so expect to do a lot of running. (Personally, I didn’t mind it too much, but some players have referred to it as a "running simulator.") - It’s not the most user-friendly game, but if you’re familiar with similar games, it shouldn’t be a big issue. - Some paths aren’t easy to navigate, and if you struggle with memorizing maps, you might find it challenging. - Creatures camping certain paths or alleys can be frustrating — I hope this gets patched in the future. Overall, my friends and I had a great time with this game. I’m writing this review because I want to support smaller games like this that deserve attention. I’m looking forward to future updates and hope the devs continue to improve the game. Great work, devs!

This is probably tied with my favorite Backrooms game with Escape the Backrooms, what it lacks in .... let's say "craftsmanship" as ETB this one has a lot of heart and fun ideas, from the roguelike mode, to the gathering items, to my favorite being how sometimes you fall somewhere absurd like in the maze map which was the most me and my group laughed in a long while in a game. Some things that could be fun but i'm no progammer so no idea how feasible it is, in maps that have different levels to it like the aforementioned maze, it would be very intense and fun if instead of entering the creases to go to different places it would be possible to just in a let's say 1/10000 chance every step you simply fall into the other level. Also something that could be fun would be a map item, but for example only obtainable from the black markets on the level so you would still have to explore, or a way to map yourself the rooms and have the parchment and something to draw on be quite rare; quite honestly me and my friends have memories of goldfish, we played the mines 3x in a row and we got lost all of them, we just remembered that when we found the black market we were in the home stretch.

Puzzles. Monsters. And most importantly...LLOOORRRREEE!!! Simple beginnings but I can't wait to see where this game goes! I'm hooked! The puzzles aren't that difficult as long as you practice well and learn how to have a good sense of direction. Well done!

This game should honestly be more famous than it is. It now has a cool feature where you go into random backrooms and try to figure out what entities, radiation level, and pasts of signs explorers are. This game is actually pretty entertaining and hard for some of the levels. I highly recommend this game and playing it in groups is the best. Been recommending this game to all my friends.
