How it feels

A calm, meditative exploration through eerie and surreal flooded spaces, with light puzzling and a slowly unfolding mystery.

What players say

Players are split, some find it a genuinely creepy and well-designed Backrooms game with good atmosphere and graphics, while others criticize the developer for removing content and leaving the game in a barebones state for months. Complaints include a lack of settings, short length, cheap deaths that reset progress, and a puzzle with no clues.
