SPACE (2024)

The ONLY reason this gets a recommendation from me, is the author's successful attempt at providing a gloomy, backrooms-flavored liminal environment. It's spooky. And that folks, sadly, is all the good. This COULD have been so much better, IF: 1. The walking speed was AT LEAST twice as fast. AT LEAST TWICE. Right now, it takes forever to get to your targeted area. Its agonizingly slow. So dev, PLEASE - make it fast. Because as of this review, it's ... half-fast. Yeah, you heard me right - half-assed. 2. The jump scares need to be removed, or replaced witrh MUCH better quallity ones. Seriously. They are freaking BAD, and unnecessary, and while a couple gave me a jolt, it didn't stop me from laughing after, and catch myself mutteriung, "Dude, that's just so f#cking BAAAD." Because, well ... they are. 3. Incorporate a menu, save, checkpoint system. Look, I really wanna finish this game - because I like a few things about it. But now, I start over, when I decide to launch it again. And once again, spend hours going on what should be minute-long walks. The bad jumpscares, won't jump-scare me, my next time around. But that doesn't make them any better. Because they are mind-blowingly …

Yea so...I didn't believe the nay sayers and haters of this game but after 39 minutes.. I'm sorry, after I WASTED 39 minutes streaming this on my channel I alt-F4'd out of it. Why? because hitting escape does NOTHING. It is so incredibly dark I couldn't even see where I had to go and you move so slow it took me 10 minutes to realize I was lost. Oh, but why didn't I just adjust the brightness? There IS NO brightness adjustment. After two super cheap jump scares and walking at a snails pace for 39 minutes I cast this game down. Garbage. I really wanted to like it. I really did but.... this game is.... trash. DO NOT BUY IT

Refunded, within the first 5 minutes the game hits you with some blob that pops in your face with this OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD SCREAM JUMPSCARE, THEN YOU GET HIT WITH ANOTHER ONE 5 MINS LATER. The game was stuck in 4:3 ratio for me dunno if intentional or not but no option to change it, bare minimal graphics options, only presets, NO pause menu to speak of not to mention no settings changing mid game. This game is so undercooked it's not even funny. I love the idea of a space themed backrooms/liminal game but this is HORRIBLE in it's current state, the dev should be ashamed of releasing this.

A backrooms game in space based in the pool rooms! I managed to escape my way to the ending. This game is similar to pools and dreamcore but with a more space themed outer area. Its a blast to play and highly reccomend to any backrooms explorer.

Took me a year and half to beat this. Bought it on release. Played it for 9 mins and turned it off. While the game isn't that long, the pace you're made to walk. Makes it seem like forever. There's no flashlight. Sure. No big deal, but SPACE is dark. (No pun intended) One problem area is a room w/teleporters. If you decide your at the exit and fall off. Your done. There's no way out except ALT F4. (Yeah. No esc, no settings once you start the game.) Then you have to restart from the beginning. Another problem. The water Entity. You have to make your way through the water, over to this staircase without getting killed. (by walking) because if you die. You start back at the beginning. Not of that area. The area before. Waaaalk all the way back... Teleport. The only reason I passed that area. Is because the thing got stuck in the wall. YOU CAN'T RUN... Anyway... The ending is pretty killer. Performance varied from 98-100 fps. Ran it on epic settings at 2560x1440. Overall. I enjoyed it. Has it's moments but..... It's a hard sell. The price is steep for what you get. Marred by two design choices. Too dark and no run/walking speed.

Way too dark. Right from the start, you'll find yourself in areas so dark that you end up going in circles and on top of that, there's no running.... Just a slowww stroll through darkness
