Backrooms - 2005

W

Hidden gem среди кучи кооп игр по бэкрумсу, но в концовке как будто чутка не дожато. А так очень хорошая игра

i can tell they went mental on the video compression effects, they look very crusty in the best ways, even if the hdr kinda makes it look like it's embedded in the environment instead of part of the video. i also like how there's no voice acting, so you get to make the show for yourself, though, it's a double-edged sword, as the subtitles kinda take away the immersion. either go all-in on voice acting & add a slider for it or add a cutscene explaining what happened & do some work on 1st-person reactions. i like how the moveset in this game is kinda like the complex: expedition, but the slow crawling kinda takes me out of the flow for a bit, i want the shift button to make you go faster whenever you're going prone. the floating arrow indicators also kinda take me out, maybe replace it with some scribble like "cant do it, please somebody else do" for example. overall, this game definitely needs hundreds more positive reviews than it currently has, it really scares the ♥♥♥♥ out of me when it's meant to, the part where you go into the og backrooms area got a good kick out of me & i had fun being a guy doing a video tour of his house only to be looped into victimization, can't wait for chapter 2 & beyond. also, thanks for the material to kickstart my assorted talking points format on.

i got lost

A nice experience from the old Backrooms, I loved how liminal spaces look in this game! Sound effects very inmerssive :D

me dieron ganas de arrancarme la cabeza

I enjoyed it for a quick walkthrough. But it falls a little short compared to other titles. The atmosphere is stiff, and the game is not really much of the entire backrooms experience as it feels closer to a lore correct level 0. Still a good game.
