for early access this game has awesome potential! the atmosphere is very eerie and although there is no threat as of now it still makes you feel as if there is. I look forward to seeing this game progress and experiencing new levels!

exits are randomized, very well made, considering it uses procedural generation, it's missing some threats like monsters and other things that you have to run away from, I suggest making different game modes, one that uses procedural generation for each level, and one that doesn't use procedural generation, or making the procedural generation exclusive top harder difficulties, because if there are monsters, it will be harder to survive long enough to make it to the randomly generated exit. I know it's in early access, but it's very good for what it is so far

Of course this game doesn't have much to it although it's a early access game and was just released today, despite most backrooms games end up either low quality or barely having any game play this game does seem to have potential if the developer actually commits to making this a better game.
I bought this to see what it looks like and to support the developer also don't expect much as it's really early access game.

This game has VERY huge potential. However, being in Early Access, this game is unfinished. By the time I got on to the 3rd level, there was no way I knew of to pass that one. So yeah.
Very big potential though. May come back to it in the future. And to anyone looking to buy this game, I suggest leaving it until it's a bit more polished, and finished.

It's plain boring. The graphics are poor on level 0. The parking lot is barren and after 10 minute of walking around the same scenery over and over again, I just gave up. I love a good Backrooms walking sim but this is awful. Shame I didn't test it out earlier or I would have applied for a refund.

You need to add a reason to play the game. The amount of refunds you are going to get is insane. Not the best business practice if you ask me. Best of luck to ya. Maybe I'll rebuy the game if anything comes of it. But I genuinely felt like the game was made to trick you into walking around for 2 hours so you cant get a refund.

First things first. To The Devs Big Deal Studios, I am sorry you have to bare the brunt of this rant, Many of the points I make here apply to your game, but you are not the only ones guilty. I want you to know I am more then willing to
A. Assist in development
B. Give your game another chance in the future.
The Backrooms games all have one common problem, they are all AWFUL! There are a few exceptions of course, Inside the backrooms at least has semi decent game play, frustrating repetitive game play, but decent game play non the less, the problem I have been seeing recently, is the extreme lack of innovation or "care" to give a "backrooms" game the justice it deserves. Escape the backrooms is decent, now, but it took, wait for it, TIME! The Major problem with many indie devs releasing their own backrooms games is they never seem to give their game enough TIME to cook! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS! Make a good game first! Then! Ask for money.
Your game is visually impressive, and procedural generated maps are a great idea (provided they aren't "too" large) but I came across no enemies in my 30 minutes of game play, nor did a see any purpose in my actions other then just "walking around"
I can't recommend this game, maybe in the future if you put in the work, but at this moment, its a no.

As of right now, this is not really much of a game. There is no danger to avoid, just a door to find in a rather bland procedural maze of sorts. Sanity system, if actually present, doesn't factor at all into the game. Doesn't really live up to the description of the game even considering it's in early access.
