Dec. 2025
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.

It’s a solid Backrooms game with some of the usual levels and a few great ideas. It’s on the short side, and as a single-player experience, it lacks content and replayability for the full price. So I’d recommend picking it up on sale. Also, expect Unreal to go a little haywire on your computer.

it would be desirable to implement save points at specific scenes,as some wonderful places need to be experience many times

I love the atmosphere of this game. I really do. It does such an amazing job carrying on the nostalgic vibe while still taking the setting to the nightmarish realm called the backrooms. Chapter 1 is a bit slow. Since there isn't really much gameplay objectives in the first chapter, and the entity chase at the beginning is a little annoying. However I really love how it sets up the main lore for the entire game meaning there is some worth of playing this game as the story starts to get interesting from here Chapter 2 is such a HUGE Improvement from the first chapter, and they even pushed it to the limits into adding a few gameplay objectives while keeping the idea of wandering around the place. The Liminal environments in Chapter 2 are much more detailed, and are much more Liminal then the locations in Chapter 1. The only thing that was disappointing in this chapter was the ending cliiffhanger. I thought the idea of you being rescued was very weak as it doesn't set up what will happen in chapter 3. Otherwise this is such a beautiful game, and I highly recommenced it if you want a chill and relaxing game with a few things to do in the game besides walking around and seeing all the cool environments

Cool game with great visual oddities that really get ingrained in the back of my head. But the pacing is sooo off. You are running for your life from horrors beyond comprehension one minute, and then the next two hours of gameplay is just walking and looking around. I did like it all through and through, but its definitely more of a visual game than anything.
