The Backrooms Reviews

I don't think this game even understands the concept of the backrooms. the only level they even got slightly accurate was level 2. complete waste of my time and a dollar, would not reccomend

This game has no quality and is not worth the 1$ don't even spend it on this game. As a person who loves the backrooms just download a free game off itch and it would be 20X better than this. I want to refund this game for my money, time, and for being in my head at all. Only one downside with downloading a itch game compared to this is that the itch game may have a virus but this game couldn't since the developer wouldn't be able to figure out how to do so.

There is literally nothing to do in this game, also it has nothing to do with the Backrooms and doesn't even look like those. Even for free this "game" would be not worth the play. The only thing not too bad is the audio which creates kind of a tense atmosphere but nothing happens at all, so this project is really useless.

Personally, when I see these kinds of games I always wonder what goes through the developers head's when making these. Eh it was fun to play on stream not a complete waste of time. Update: I made a Speed run of this game (I know the basics of speed running) Heres My 10th attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P_S3jIqvvY&ab_channel=Yarghoul

I enjoyed wasting my time playing this shitty game. Not for those who already have enter the backrooms (a game that is far better than this one.)

The overall quality of it is complete garbage, i mean textures are ok but this game is very annoyingly stupid, it looks like if a 5 year old tried to make it (no offense) but it seems EXTREMELY rushed and put together in less then 12 hours, the design sucks and i honestly cant tell if thats supposed to be the design of the game intentionally or not. theres random stuff placed throughout the map and its story line doesnt even make sense.

I've played through the game a few times, gotten 2 different endings. It feels sloppy, honestly. Walls with 0 thickness that disappear if you look at them edge on. Walls with texture fighting abound. Some walls don't connect to the floor properly letting you peek outside the world. I'm hesitant to criticize these points, as it may be part of the intended experience but... it doesn't feel like it. It feels sloppy. The imps are a little scary for a few seconds, but they don't move, they don't react, they don't make any noise. Is there lore in this game that tries to explain them? I don't think so. All in all there are worse ways to spend a dollar. All in all there are worse ways to spend an hour. But I just can't quite recommend it.

If you like a game where you walk around and get a headache, buy this game. You should rather walk down to 7-11 and buy a 99 cent pack of swishers/white owls/games or maybe a pack of backwoods, it will give you more satisfaction than playing this game. EDIT: After further reflection of my negative review, I've changed it to a positive one. The problems lie in how the game runs primarily, i.e. frame rate, stuttering, and overall jankiness. You will like the game if you want to explore a small world that the creator has made, then this is for you. You really just walk around and explore, but it's just a dollar. I like different types of games but if you like that style, by all means try it.

Not only is the free edition more faithful to the post that started this Backrooms thing, it's better in every respect. This version seems wildly unfinished, with nothing in particular standing out in regards to horror. You can look outside of windows and see the rest of the hallways as well, which makes you feel less like you're trapped in an immensely large nightmare area and more in some slapdash project someone made. It's not worth paying any money for.

I bought it searching for indie surreal games, and this was on it, plus i was familiar with the whole backrooms creepypasta. [h1] The good things [/h1] [list] [*] The ambience is really good, like i felt like something was chasing me, even if nothing was there (there is nothing). [*] Builds a nice dream like experience, more with the ability of looking to the map from the windws [spoiler] and in a gap to basically all of it [/spoiler] [*] is surreal, in it expresses a feeling strongly (fright) and things makes little sense, like in a proper dream. [h1] The really bad things [/h1] [*] The game is short, like, i played for 15 minutes and i explored all the map several times (you can do it in like 8 or 9 minutes) [*] There is no real danger (you are alone), therefore no real fear, so the really good ambiance gets completely wasted when you visit the same part 3 times and nothings happens. [*] There is a soletary imp model half stuck in a floor, does abolutely nothing, guess that could be the enemy, but is so small that is not remotely threatening. [*] (If i got lost or) you can get stuck in less than 9 minutes and cannot pass from level 3. If you read all of this, congratulations, you probably took the same time than you will take to reach the dead end, and since this fit in my category of "unplayable game/didn't even cared to finish it" then i will ask for a refound shortly. To the dev: You did some good things (better than a lot of horror games that i played, even better than other horror games, but since there is nothing chasing you, even far away, you failed to be faithful to the creepypasta and to a decent horror game, but keep trying, you AT LEAST got a few nice thinbgs on it!
