Backward poiesis

The constant narrative text popping up in my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ face during the game is very distracting and annoying. I also don't know why the game is capped at 30 FPS, so I kind of just attributed it to the vintage feel of an older camera. It did not take long before I had enough of this. Refunding.

I actually half enjoyed this game. Yet it is so badly built and optimised that even having a price on it is insulting. My review would have been positive if it was free. First of all, this game is not even shipped in production mode, but in development. At points you can see the unreal engine debug logs that call you to build the lighing. Yes, the maps have unbuilt lighting and you can freely open the console by pressing ~... There is also light bleeding below walls as the walls in random rooms are floating and not truly touching the floor. There is no in-game option to change the graphics, which are horrendously optimised, stuck on high graphics which render it unplayable for low-end computers (yet for whoever is reading this, I made a guide on how to change the graphics from the game files). The room architecture and the philosophical/psychological texts are somehow nice though and I have to admit they nailed a liminal feeling. As well as the ending itself, that I won't spoil, kind of spooked me. Overall it is a good premise that was extremely sloppily created. Make it free. Charging for this poor excuse of a game is insulting to anyone who spent money on it. If I hadn't given…

I liked the game, its good, the graphics stand out, the fps is locked to 30 but honnestly mine went under that at many times, i guess its demanding + poorly optimized. The text becomes too much at times and hinders imerssion so i skipped a lot of the nonsenstical rants, i think the creator might be a bit pretensious, The text as a concept is fine though just done too much. Overall though i did like the viusals and enviorments you explore. Woudl be nice if more backrooms games could do a lot of what this game does, at least visually.

Very fun walking sim and exploration game!

The sound design is so damn good. I felt like i was right in the room. I loved everything about this and worth picking up if you're into liminal space games. Check out my play-through on my channel: https://youtu.be/Dqyt5dWLzgY

calm and interesting liminal space type of game.
