VOID81: The Backrooms is a psychological horror adventure developed and published by Veaby that takes inspiration from the well-known Backrooms phenomenon while introducing its own identity through a blend of exploration, puzzles, platforming, and survival elements.

Even though I’m not a big fan of Backrooms-style games, I have to say that Void81 pleasantly surprised me. For a game that is still in development, the gameplay already feels very smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, it shows a lot of potential and it could turn into a very solid experience.

This game ain't it. It's 2D animated rage bait at best.
