Adrift in the Backrooms

As much as I want to give this indie developer a positive review and a recommend here, I can't do that if I'm being genuine and honest about the game state itself. It's simply not worth the price with the performance issues, lack of basic sound effects, and game breaking bugs I've witnessed just on level 1 alone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGPQ2uNn2ko The problems I experienced preventing my recommend of this game: - When playing with friends co-op and you die and start spectating, you see 100x more sway that whoever you are spectating, making for an almost miserable spectating experience. Ugh. Fix this ASAP! - When searching level one, one part of the level tanked my in game FPS to less than 10 fps, where other areas of the map I was getting over 70 fps. I don't know what is causing this massive performance drop, but this is another major reason that I cannot recommend this game in its current state. This is game breaking, especially if you're in a chase.. it absolutely DESTROYS the immersion and fun! (I show this clearly in the video review) - This game is missing basic sound effects that you'd expect in a game of this type. No foot step sounds, no basic clicks and clanks when collecting or using items etc. Adding tension music when in danger would also add a LOT to this game, and it's simply missing. This isn't game breaking, but it definitely hurts the overall experience. - No UI to see the status of other players when playing co-op. Why cant we not see the health and thirst levels of our friends in a small UI somewhere? Again, this isn't game breaking, but why TF isn't this in the game?!? I DO love that this developer has created completely unique puzzles and levels for this game that I have not seen in any of the other Backrooms games. Do understand that because of this alone, I REALLY want to give this game a recommend and support this game and developer. But I'd be dishonest to the developer if I recommended it with the massive game breaking problems that I've already experienced, and that's just one the first level. ..I can only imagine how many more game breaking problems there likely is on all the other 9 levels. Dev.. *pats you on the back*. I LOVE what you are trying to do here and I LOVE the potential here but you GOT to do a lot more work on this game to make it all that it truly can and deserves to be! Get to it man, you have my support! ..I'll be happy to re-review this game if you address the problems I've noted above. NOT RECOMMENDED... even though it breaks my heart to do it. It just needs some more work and I hope this developer or developer(s) get it all fixed up because this could be a HELLA FUN little indie game once it's in a better state.

本来以为是一坨史没想到是依托大的。别来沾边了谢谢！！

Also... Das Spiel ist an sich ganz witzig aber Level 7 kann nicht mal Chuck Norris beenden. Mein Vater hat mir dieses spiel gekauft als Ablenkung weil er Milch holen wollte... seit dem dippe ich meine Oreo in Wasser... es ist ein Netter Zeit vertreib aber es hat nichts mit den BackRooms zu tun. Villt schaffe ich ja noch Level 7 bevor mein Vater zurück kommt und sieht das ich vor Wut den Schreibtisch zam Gekloppt habe. Müsst ihr wissen.

i have played almost all backroom games and this is on of the worst.

This game has potential to be a good backrooms game however there are many bugs that need to be fixed in order for it to be playable experience. I am giving this game a thumbs up since it has only just released and I feel like it get better with some fixes and tweaks to certain levels. I played with 2 friends and the experience was decent however there are some issues which I will list below. 1. The parkour level (level 7) is way too difficult especially for people who are not the host since you just clip through the platforms. I noticed that when you get to the lava spiral, the bottom few platforms prevent you from jumping half of the time and it is quite annoying (especially with how weird the jump mechanic is). 2. Level 8 is completely broken as I mentioned in the discussion that I posted and I just end up dying from sanity. Myself and my friend looked everywhere to try and find what we were suppose to do but we didn't find anything which leads me to believe that the level is bugged (in multiplayer at least). Other than these 2 major issues, I feel like the game is quite fun and is reasonably priced for the experience. I will also note that I did get a cheevo that was suppose to be given on level 10 randomly on level 8 while running on the road.

This is a solid backrooms game and i can recommend it to anyone who likes backrooms-type games. + they fixed some bugs from the game which is nice.

very good backrooms game 9/10 (plus there are updates sometimes still !)

Decent game for the price, but lvl.8 and 9 are kinda worse than the previous maps. Looking forward to try the last level out, but I'm stuck on lvl.9. Does anyone happen to know how to get the code for the safe? Thanks!

This game is fun to play with friends, and with all these unique levels, it's a whole new journey to play through. I recommend this if you like other backroom themed games! 4/5
