Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
just finished the whole game in a couple hours, i played countless backrooms games and i can tell this is miles different from any of them, i absolutely loved the story although i kinda got confused at the end, as said these levels have never been seen in games, very well made and really good graphics, my best regards to the devs who worked hard for this game, its amazing and i hope the next updates give us more story and brand new levels to go through, loved it. (with my pc specs i ran everything on ultra high and fsr on quality 240fps, no stutters.)
