What players say

Players say this Backrooms game delivers on atmosphere and visual realism, especially in the poolrooms and cityscapes. It is a short experience of 2 to 5 hours, but opinions split on its stability: some praise the graphics and sense of dread, while others report crashes, freezing loading screens, no save system, and poor optimization even on decent hardware.
