Okay I do like this game however there are some things I don't like that to be fixed immediately or fixed a while agoSo my first complained there are 4 entities come on there's a little more that you should add inFirst howns things to be easy to deal with just look at them and they'll stop moving However if you look at them for too long start running at you so you should look away and run my second entity is a face wave yes there's actually by 2 versions adult and child reading the forums if you don't know what each of them do third insanities also read the forums if you don't know what they are or what they do 4 death moths let's just do female ones because they can be easy to implement so bees entities have a range acid attack know they also have a Bailey attack by I don't know I forgotten finally skin Steelers I don't know if I can actually explain this good just look at the forums please one of my biggest issues is that to spawn in an entity in sandbox mode to get them as a special item there should be a spawner thing where you can select the entity I didn't press the spawn button to spawn them in another bigger issue are about the levels there are only level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 and yeah I get it there nice and more well-known than other levels but come on you can just make a secret level or sublevel or a negative level or maybe even level 12 however do not do a color testing thing that doesn't have color that is only if you use technology to take a picture of this level and this level is pretty simple it's white it should have new tables and let's and thieves will spawn in it another good one level fun we already got partygoers so why not add in their main level level fun I would also like to add in the hive as an Easter egg level meeting and the Hub as the setting of the main menu instead of level 0the end is also a good one and one thing also improve the graphics okay bye
I saw the dev talking about the price raise for this game, and one of the things I read there was the claim that other Backrooms games on Steam are sold for a higher price and offer less content; And unless he was talking about some more underground games out there, the other games I watched or played were much better in many aspects, ranging from being a multiplayer fun game to play with your friends, to games that really nailed the fear aspect you would expect.
Updates after updates and the game just gets more "content" and no optimization or love shown to what already was there before.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
