What players say

Players are split on this backrooms game: many praise its concepts, levels, and endings as some of the best in the genre, but nearly all agree it is very buggy, short (2-3 hours), and rough around the edges with clunky physics, stamina that makes movement slow, and forest level clipping issues.
