Story

11 of 39 sampled reviews raised it
That said, TAPE 101 remains one of the better single-player, more linear Backrooms games with a decent narrative that wisely eschews ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI voice-acting for written text (sometimes the "old way" of doing things is the best way of doing things).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 39 sampled reviews raised it
The standout mechanic is the Remote Control car (duh!), which can be remotely controlled to assist with puzzles and exploration.
