✦ AI summary
Backrooms Level X receives mixed reviews, with players appreciating its liminal-space aesthetics and visual design in certain moments, but criticizing it heavily for failing to deliver genuine scares or authentic backrooms atmosphere. The most common complaints center on the game feeling more like a linear maze than an explorative horror experience, with poorly implemented monster AI, forced jumpscares that rely too heavily on loud audio, and a lack of the unsettling dread that defines the creepypasta genre. Some players find it too short and derivative, while others feel it misses the mark en
Backrooms Level X drops you into an endless, unsettling labyrinth of yellow-carpeted rooms where nothing quite makes sense. You explore 13 surreal levels, solve puzzles, and hide from vague, looming threats. It tries hard to capture that faux-documentary, analog-horror feel of the creepypasta origins and other games from the dev’s catalog. Pros ✔️ Neat visuals at times – Some levels nail that off-balance, liminal-space aesthetic. I got that uncanny “what are we even looking at?” buzz in the best spots. ✔️ Ties to their other games – I recognized some of that same eerie tone and design style from their previous Backrooms stuff, which felt comforting in a weird way. ✔️ A bit of variety of environments – It doesn’t just feel like the same corridor recycled forever — there’s enough shifts (giant enemies, puzzles, “normal” rooms) to keep things fresh. Cons ❌ Feels half-baked – It kind of looks and sounds like someone’s cool draft version of a Backrooms game, not a fully polished one. ❌ Gameplay felt off – The controls and pacing didn’t land — felt clunky, puzzle sections were meh, and the scares didn’t stick. ❌ Parts feel like backroom parody – At moments it almost teetered into “t…1 found this helpful
The beginning of Backrooms Level X was only scary because of the loud ambient music. Scary because a good backrooms game only has slight ambience or none at all and none at all makes it scarier imo. The background sound when in the backrooms is actually just a loud looping buzz sound which doesnt get me scared at all. The game is not scary and the "jumpscares" that are there seem forced and made for little kids to get scared by 1/101 found this helpful

I see Backrooms I play. needs more smoothness to the game. its very fine
This was honestly boring and didn't feel like a backrooms game. There were some decent liminal spaces but thats about it. Pros: + A couple decent liminal spaces Cons: - The "tense" moments were honestly just boring - None of the levels properly felt like the backrooms, I wasn't scared of something potentially being a threat, it was just a maze - The levels with one big open room a giant monster and an exit was badly built, it is faster than you so you just need to hope the game spawns you on the good side of the door - The monster AI were quite crap and most were stuck in place - There was nothing remotely scary about the game Steam Curator Link: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/10995314-Szamer%2527s-Collection/
This is a terrible backrooms experience. They thought they would be cute and put G-man from Half Life in it, and it's also only 40 minutes long. No exploration or the comfy, nostalgia and cozy feelings you get from good backroom games. It's more or less a linear maze. More maze than anything else. They SHOULD call it "Backrooms: dumb maze"
