Super hra krátká ale zábavná a strašidelná :3
Hodně povedená hra !!
Vynikající hra s krásnými detaily :-)
V dětství jsem měl dvě noční můry spojené s výtahy. Ve hře je přesně ten výtah kterého jsem se bál. A hle - oba scénáře kterých jsem se bál jsou ve hře také...

Bugs galore. I really tried to play the game, restarting it multiple times in a span of three days, constantly twitching the settings in order to run it with the lowest possible resources, but after the 10th crash or so (in most cases I had to do a manual restart of my machine, because the game refused to close and instead everything froze) I finally gave up. My machine is a bit old, but it does meet the minimum system requirements for this game, plus I have never been completely unable to play a steam game before. This was a first. I found the premise super interesting and I liked the atmosphere during the little in-game time I managed to log, so I really wanted to play this game, but unfortunately it's impossible. Gutted to give this a thumbs-down, but I don't really have a choice.
Za ty peníze ta atmosféra jde hodnotit jen na 10/10
I lost my ball (from the Backrooms), it was my friend during half of the game, but then they took it away from me. And then there was the fckng scary elevator. Nice game, I'm proud to be Czech.
Pajosi a vsem kdo se podilel pokracujte v tvorbe podobnych zanru... ja osobne jsem si hru uzil a tesim se na dalsi... PALEC NAHORU
Love the esthetic, the atmosphere and the scares. There are some physics stuff that could work better, but this looks like a solo effort and I aplaud the author nonetheless. Bonus points if you're a panelak child - we had the exxact same doors, lifts, toilets, everything. Very nice nostalgic feeling - it is like the nightmares I used to have a child, being chased on the stairwell or stuck in the elevator.
Cool game which brings memories of growing up as a child in one of these buldings and how scary all the corners and floors were.
