Very good game that is fun but suspenseful. Movie is good too
Хоррор‑игра по мотивам интернет‑легенды «Закулисье» (дата выхода: 25.07.2019). Игрок оказывается в бесконечном лабиринте жёлтых комнат и коридоров и пытается найти выход, избегая опасных сущностей. Окружение процедурно генерируется, атмосфера строится на звуках и визуальном дискомфорте без резких «скримеров». Плюсы: сильная атмосфера тревоги и потерянности — классический пример «лиминального пространства»; процедурная генерация уровней: каждый заход уникален; бесплатный доступ — низкий порог входа; звуковой дизайн создаёт напряжение: гул ламп, шаги, искажённые голоса; визуальная стилистика точно передаёт эстетику крипипасты (жёлтые стены, ковры, люминесцентные лампы); постепенное нарастание ужаса: чем дольше игра, тем сильнее искажается окружение (движутся стены, сужается поле зрения); короткая сессия — можно пройти за 20–60 минут; регулярные обновления от разработчика. Минусы: монотонность геймплея — много ходьбы по похожим коридорам; минимум интерактивности: мало предметов и головоломок; ограниченная вариативность угроз — немного типов враждебных существ; устаревшая графика и низкая детализация моделей; возможны проблемы с оптимизацией на старых ПК; отсутствие чёткой цели или сюжета — игра полагается на воображение игрока; высокая зависимость атмосферы от звука: без наушников эффект слабее. Итог: подойдёт любителям психологических хорроров, крипипаст и «лиминальных пространств». The Backrooms Game FREE Edition привлекает атмосферой тревоги, верностью первоисточнику и бесплатностью, но может разочаровать однообразием геймплея и слабой интерактивностью. Идеальна для тех, кто ценит медленное погружение в страх и готов искать выход в бесконечном лабиринте. Не подойдёт тем, кто ищет экшен, чёткую историю или хоррор с «скримерами».

I admit I’m an older gamer, so I constantly find myself looking at many new games with confusion as why anyone would want to play said game. I also don’t understand why people watch other people play games online, so with that, it is highly likely this game just wasn’t intended for my generation. My youngest daughter tried to explain the whole premise of that game to me after I found it on my Steam account. So, being that I now have some free time I’m trying to fill with gaming, I decided to give it a go. The only thing I got out of this game was fifteen minutes of boredom wondering if anything was ever going to happen besides the lights flickering. By the time light bulbs started to burst and the screen started to blur like Hollywood's ill attempts of showcasing a bad acid trip, I had already decided the game wasn’t for me. And after the second time “it” got me and I just fell through the floor into nothingness for no apparent reason, I had had more than my fill of The Backrooms. Maybe I’m too old to appreciate whatever it is this game is trying to be, but my takeaway was that it wasn’t scary, it wasn’t interesting, it wasn’t fun, and it certainly wasn’t for me. I wouldn’t recommend.
fun but very boring hopefully updates will improve this
One of the first among the tide of Backrooms themed games. This one is very simplistic. You walk around and go insane. No monsters, which is a pretty unique take considering all of the other media usually has at least one creature stalking you. It's whatever. Probably not worth your time, if you wanted to sink an hour into it. Download it and play for maybe twenty to thirty minutes and you get the gist. Still, not that bad. Can't recommend it tho. It's literally got nothing going on.
Yes. It looks like typical low-effort ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but give it some time and it picks up. I mean it.
Неплохой симулятор ходьбы. Было бы лучше если бы добавили миндальную воду и несколько видов уровней.

I appreciate that it's free. You go dev. It bores me personally, like I got a good nights sleep and I'm playing this and hitting game over because I fell asleep. I still haven't found one exit. Not for me.
