Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
45 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
This is a fun take on the Backrooms concept, as this is more of a story driven game that has much more involvement from the player compared to other Backrooms games in the genre.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
30 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
Finally a backrooms story that is a legitimate campaign experience that can be shared with friends, that isn't just a co-op walking simulator, essentially.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
The rtx 3080 FE had no issue running high graphics on QHD 60fps with Balanced DLSS either.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting can be a little silly at times but otherwise its pretty decent and still keeps me engaged.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
6 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
WELL ANYWAYS, the devs definitely deserve a pat on the back, already just for the beauty and optimization of the game alone.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 246 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is just right without being unfairly tedious, and the graphics are amazing—easily rivaling a AAA game.
