в это морально тяжело играть. либо разработчик сам не играл в свое творение, либо это делалось под колпаками. мне очень понравилось перепрыгивать миллион мостов, ползти по канатам, плавать, а также тыкать бомжей ножиком. от этой игры я получил безудержное веселье! я возненавидил свой компьютер, монитор, разработчиков и семью. читать отзывы намного интереснее, чем играть в это

I WOULD have recommended the game 2 years ago when it had a vision. Whatever has been happening to this game recently isn't an update, it is a downgrade. I am not sure if the Developer just stopped caring or the new team he hired to help have no care but this feels like Backrooms slop now. Really wish I could just play the old version of the game.

this game always starts with "let's do horror with my friends" and ends with "this level has FULLY outstayed its welcome, i wanna be done, this puzzle is so stupid." that's primarily talking about the train station for the last one. spent an HOUR AND A HALF trying to solve the symbols puzzle and figuring out what each symbol correlates to only for it to turn out we just had to arrange it in the ticket machine by size. we thought we were counting wrong but nope, this puzzle just... doesn't explain itself clearly. COOL.

The worst Backrooms game you will ever play; I advise the developer to go into making p0r*n movies instead of developing games.

I had literally more fun writing this review than playing this terrible game
