What players say
Players are split on Inside the Backrooms. Many say updates through early 2024 broke puzzles and introduced AI-generated assets, while others find the game fun with a group. Frequent complaints include motion sickness from forced blur, buggy levels that softlock, and an overabundance of puzzles that drown out the backrooms atmosphere.
