What players think
The recurring themes across 132 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It also manages to breadcrumb you into collecting story items very well.
Most backrooms games I've tried miss something like good entities, little exploration/replayability or completely miss the atmosphere/vibe that makes liminal horror so good.
The story is interesting enough and leaves you wanting to piece more of it together, voice acting is great, they don't refrain from having dialogue/monologues, which you get to do an abundance of.
Edit: Even after the Level 0 Optimization Update, the game performs at about 20 FPS.
Good game 8/10, especially if you like backrooms-like games. minor QOL bugs (mouse aim be jumpy af and teleports at in-game loading intervals (for areas in the game) constantly while moving/looking around, opening the inventory and menu in general can be finicky and only opens sometimes after physically moving in game like its stuck until you do something) and general bugs (one for example is a soft lock for the a-sync ending, if you click the keyboard first to open the gate before reading the instructions it causes you to have to re-go and get the 7 phone calls again as you have to re-log into the save) here and there but the base game is perfect for adding more content can't wait for more!
