✦ AI summary

The Complex: Found Footage is praised for its effective atmosphere, excellent graphics, and sound design that captures the unsettling mood of Backrooms-style horror, with players highlighting the clever level design and tension between exploration and dread. Common complaints center on performance issues on lower-end systems and unclear gameplay objectives, though the game's short length is seen as a strength rather than a weakness. Players appear satisfied with their purchase, particularly those who appreciate atmospheric horror experiences.

Why did you make the demo for the real game a $5 charge? This used to be free

Full disclosure, I played this a while ago back when it was free. Do I recommend it for free? Absolutely, easily, 100%. It wasn't the best thing ever or anything, but a very solid demo for their other game, I assume (I haven't actually played it). But that's what this really feels like it's supposed to be, a demo... Making it a *paid* experience after having it as free for a while is a bold move I don't really recommend, at all. I only played for about an hour, and could see myself replaying it again sometime in the future. So, is it worth the current price of $5? Honestly, not really. It's still good, and if you really want a decent liminal game for cheap, there are definitely better *free* options out there but this one isn't *bad* or anything...

Recommended Oct 16, 2026
one of the best psycological horrors out there fully taken advantage of the atmosphere. I liked the monster most and that u can play this game for more than 10h with other backrooms games this isnt the case or they get really repetitive

one of the scariest games EVER 100/10 worth it

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
