✦ AI summary

Players consistently report significant technical issues including fatal errors, crashes, and clipping bugs that severely impact playability, with particular frustration around the forest level and lack of basic customization options like control rebinding or graphics settings. While some acknowledge the game has interesting core ideas and note the developer is responsive to feedback, most feel the game is too buggy and unfinished in its current state, with the short playtime and clunky design making it hard to recommend until major fixes are implemented.

Game is still currently being updated... but aside from a bit of jank it has the atmosphere dialed, a good spread of environments, and a range of mechanics for the different areas that a lot of Backrooms games don't have. Definitely worth the rough edges for an experience that is a sort of hybrid between the atmospheric walking sims and the slam-bang popular co-op titles.

Solid Backrooms game. Dev did very well for being solo - but a few critical points: Positives: Graphics very good (after configuring settings appropriately) Visual aesthetics are well done - immersive Great fun with a friend in solving the mazes/puzzles Music - great 3d Audio - able to pinpoint sound locations which is good Good price point to content ratio Negatives: Walk speed is *far* too slow - and having to sprint constantly drains stamina - this gets tedious and annoying. The player models just seem off and actually remove from the immersion - not in place with the aesthetic of the overall world - they look almost cartoonish, when the dev could have just mimicked real life hazmat suits to a far better ability. This is key. The host server interface is not intuitive and clunky. Having to select save slots, and select from start - etc - Note to dev: re-do this interface more intuitively. It will confuse many. Although it is cool the start game interface for multiplayer sessions are "projected" onto the wall for all to see. No game crashing bugs from earlier releases, but key bugs like spawning back at the beginning of the entire game (seriously we were at the end of the …

this game is verry buggy and has a LOT of problems!, however this is probably the coolest backrooms game ive ever played the concepts levels and even the endings are phenomenal, it doesnt cost a huge amount and i think even though it has bugs and issues, you should buy it anyways and support the creator and their Vision.

This game is terrible. 6 dollars for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, its a 2 hour game if you play it perfectly and the forest level is arguably the worst thing i've played in my life. For example the entities get stuck on the electric boxes, When you start getting chased by them you dont have infinite stamina like in level 0 and its just physically impossible to get away from them, and finnally theres 4 of them so if your trying to get away from one theres always another one.

EXPEDITION TO THE BACKROOMS is a first-person horror adventure developed and published by 1_Cutter_1 that embraces the unsettling mystery of the Backrooms while attempting to carve out its own identity. Instead of emphasizing nonstop scares, the game leans into suspense, exploration, and the feeling of venturing into an impossible world where reality no longer follows familiar rules. Players take on the role of an expedition member working for the PhaseSync organization, entering strange dimensions to uncover secrets, document anomalies, and survive encounters with unknown entities. The narrative premise provides enough context to justify the journey while allowing environmental storytelling to remain the primary method of revealing the world's mysteries. The game's strongest feature is its commitment to atmosphere. Every environment is crafted to evoke loneliness and uncertainty, from endless office corridors to abandoned facilities and surreal locations that seem disconnected from the normal world. Rather than relying on a single visual theme, the adventure introduces multiple areas with distinct appearances and moods, preventing exploration from becoming repetitive. The oversiz…

Im a HUGE backrooms fan, and have played many backrooms games. This one has potential to be as good as escape the backrooms which is saying a lot. I will say that the stamina meter makes this game very slow paced. I think maybe having stamina recharge quicker or run out slower would make for a more enjoyable experience. You have infinite stamina when getting chased anyway. Other than that, the game looks and feels good.
