This game has been on early access for years, but it gets very repetitive and kinda boring quite fast. I could'nt even notice when I "completed" the game.

The Backrooms is a first-person survival horror game developed and published by Ionized Games that transforms the unsettling internet phenomenon of liminal horror into an immersive psychological nightmare centered around isolation, paranoia, and endless exploration. Inspired by the famous creepypasta concept of accidentally slipping out of reality into a maze of empty rooms and forgotten hallways, the game focuses heavily on atmosphere and tension rather than traditional action-heavy horror. Through oppressive environmental design, unsettling soundscapes, and constant uncertainty, The Backrooms creates a disturbing experience where the environment itself becomes the primary source of fear. The game begins with the player trapped inside an endless labyrinth of yellow office corridors, stained carpets, buzzing fluorescent lights, and abandoned rooms that seem disconnected from normal reality.

Very cool opening chapters to a story-driven, single-player Backrooms game. Currently there’s roughly 30 minutes to an hour of content and exploration (at least from what I experienced—there may be more), but what’s here is executed marvelously. If Ionized Game can turn this into a 4–8 hour experience, I’ll be the first to endorse it and play it as a new seminal liminal experience. That said, in its current state, the experience is difficult to consider as anything more than a demo. There’s a lot of potential here, though, and I’m very interested to see where it goes.

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
