Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game may seem simple and straightforward, but once you start exploring deeper into the backrooms and your insanity increases, the game really ramps up.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And whilst this game has less levels of the Backrooms in it than the likes of Enter the Backrooms (for better or for worse), it wins out on graphics and atmosphere.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Strong focus on sound design, will give you quite a thrill!
