Inside the Backrooms

I used to love playing this game, but the newest updates have made it hard to enjoy. The new levels are annoying and confusing. I don't think the older levels needed updates; they were good on their own. If you have the time to stick with the levels and the puzzles, go for it; it can be fun for some people. Not for me and my friends. Dark Rooms is the best level. The Fun Room is good, but it can be glitchy. I’d rate the game 5/10.

Nothing like no clipping your way into a universe that has a game about no clipping your way into another universe. 10/10

If you get Motion Sick DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME! The Motion Blur is super strong in this game with 0 ways to turn it off and it is tied to sanity!

I have had this game for awhile now and it is definitely going through its ups and downs. When I first got it some of the levels were a bit too easy while others were way too complex all on the same difficulty. It really needed more balance with how many puzzles/tasks per level and how difficult each puzzle was. For example, in the lobby you had to run around, find a ladder, figure out the elevator code which was very easy and then it would take you to the darkrooms where there were four or five puzzles with a minimum of three tasks you needed to do to complete them. However, it was still a fun experience. First time they reworked levels it did improve and expand the gameplay in a mostly good way. Going back to the lobby and darkrooms contrast, instead of running around looking for a ladder and doing the elevator code, there were a couple different puzzles, each with a few tasks. The timed parkour area, I think, could have used some fixing as it was weirdly difficult sometimes and a bit buggy, but It was still a decent experience. The most recent update is bad. Even when I was reading through the announcement of what was updated I could tell it wasn't going to be great. It feels like they went back on levels that had minor issues and instead of just fixing them they reworked the entire level and just made it easy which solves nothing. My average playthrough time for the lobby was around 30 minutes and it is now 3 minutes. There also seems to be this whacky paradox where they have gone in and tried to make all the existing maps easier, but the two new levels were ridiculously difficult at the same time on the same difficulty. They added in arrows absolutely everywhere leaving no mystery at all on where you are supposed to go, but will give you one drawing with three words for a puzzle that is super confusing and in the case of the poolrooms they give no notes at all. So while my friend and I were having a blast about the fact that we could interact with the floaties and run around, it quickly soured in confusion on what we were supposed to be doing. While we did eventually figure it out it seems unreasonably difficult for normal mode to not leave even one note especially when you compare it to how obscenely easy the lobby is. The entity in the train station was also infuriating. I had no info on it, didn't see it for like 40 minutes, and then it was peaking around every single corner, making the irritation of not figuring out the last puzzle (which was 100% my fault, I was putting it in the wrong order) that much more frustrating. Once I did figure it out and go to leave, it was blocking the exit staring at me and did not disappear at all. I ended up staring at the ground and running around it. It has the potential to make the atmosphere feel really tense, for awhile I kept thinking I was seeing things, until it got to the end and I had all those issues with it. I think that the developer definitely need to focus on choosing how they are going to make the difficulty settings - Choosing if easy difficulty means an easier version of the map, and/or easier puzzles, and/or lower entity interaction (same for normal and hard), then sticking to it so that the playthrough is a lot more balanced. It would be awesome if they chose all three, that way there is a ton of replay ability. Instead of butchering maps that were a lot of fun, like the previous two abandoned office maps (I loved the original level they had when I bought the game most). That being said, it still is early access. Some updates are awesome, some of them are not, and I have yet to play every single level in the new update so maybe they wont all be bad compared to how they previously were (like the caves, that one was way too difficult). I think there is a lot of potential still and I hope that the dev is receptive to the feedback requesting previous maps be reinstalled and that they are able to refine the gameplay not repeatedly, completely, overhaul it.

really good game up until the most recent update which basically ruined so many levels making them so easy it went from actually a puzzle to simple just giving you the answer the most recent level the trainstation was fun but every other level is just too easy to be fun simple fix is to either undo the changes making the levels this easy or make it so people can go back and play the levels before the update

New 0.7.0 update completely breaks Abandoned Office level. The codes on sticky notes do not give the correct password letters for the computer

most of the game is hiding in a locker waiting or hoping the monster eventually leaves the lockers

This game has many bugs that make the game unplayable. Many bugs cause problems with the framerate or even the possibility to finish the level without restarting. Having a good computer doesn't matter since you still can witness lag spikes and changing the graphics settings does not help. Plenty of entities don't spawn where they are supposed to. The game has a lot of invisible walls that might cause you to get confused or even doesn't even have walls at all (even though there is a visible texture). It seems like the game wasn't tested at all since by replaying 4 levels I have found many issues that caused unnecessary rage. The sensitivity works differently in lobby and in game. The hazmat costume makes your game lag even harder and the game is very poorly optimised (if even at all).
