May 2025

This is a very exciting game. It's a bit difficult at first, but you can quickly find your direction. The game has an atmosphere that makes you feel fearful for a long time. The only drawback is that the update speed is too slow.

Inside the Backrooms is a fantastic game for anyone looking for a cooperative horror experience. The thrill of getting lost together in the maze, combined with the excitement of facing down nightmarish creatures, creates a gameplay loop that’s both challenging and enjoyable. With the developer’s ongoing support and consistent updates, about the process and work done to the game. It’s clear that the game will only get better over time. If you’re looking for a creepy, fun, and ever-evolving experience to share with friends, Inside the Backrooms is definitely worth checking out.

Best Backrooms game that I've found so far. Surprising amount of effort put in for what is otherwise a pretty memey concept for a game. The levels get a bit too difficult after the halfway point imo, but the variety in levels, enemies and puzzles is good. Seems like there hasn't been an update since late last year so I don't know if they're working on this still but I hope it gets improved upon. VR has a lot of bugs and needs work.
