What players say

Players are split on this Backrooms game made by one person. Some call it underrated and among the best in the genre, while others find the level design confusing, the gameplay boring, and the experience unplayable even after updates. A notable complaint is that levels are split between singleplayer and multiplayer for no clear reason.
