I've played for a bit today. I've played only first level, level 0. I have found the door, and died by monster few times. There were some bugs, like windowed mode is always setting to fullscreen after you entering options. Also, you cant reduce the volume:)

The puzzles in this game suck, they are just a walking simulator and you just have to be lucky enough to walk to the right location. Boring.

my first impression of the game is that it was made by a group of professionals , the graphics of the game where amazing and smooth. The game felt really put together and functioned very well. In other words, great game, made me shit my pants at times and looks great.

Not bad but not much game. Worth about an hour or so and then you're out of content. The parking garage was exceptionally good. Lots of places to explore and some fun to dodge enemies.

So far so good! You can play in a peaceful mode to explore without worry, or peaceful mode off to have the possibility of being chased and attacked (I heard the roar and got attacked from behind within about 5 minutes on my first run through, second run I avoided trouble.) The visuals are good and the audio, the hum of the lights in level 0 is spot on.

It started off well enough in the lobby but then got a bit barren/borin' in the garage level. Still needs a bit of work. It's not up there with The Complex which I think is the best Backrooms game so far.

Disclaimer: I helped playtest the first 3 levels of this game in august, was impressed that 5 more levels were added since then :)
Pretty short and sweet game inspired by various backrooms levels, has about 8 levels as of now but apparently planed to be added more. Peaceful mode allows you to just explore the levels without any stress of getting destroyed. I would recommend giving it a shot and keeping it on your radar whenever it gets updated, dev was super kind and any suggestions i made when playtesting were implemented in a day which i was pleasantly surprised to see :D
PS: if you are stuck at the start of a certain level after the pool, you can jump using space, i had to reset 10 times since i was having the big stupid.
PSS: The level select gets locked again after you load a previous level and dont finish the game completely again, would love to see it stay unlocked after you beat the game for the first time. Also please add a mouse sensitivity option :)
