What players say

Players split on this backrooms co-op game. Many praise its fun moments and responsive developer, but performance problems, unclear objectives, and monsters that kill through walls frustrate others. The game is short, with content ending at the poolrooms, and players eagerly await updates to fix bugs and add more levels.
