Backrooms

Esyverse

About this game

Based on a creepypasta, the Backrooms brings a nostalgic feeling of being lost in endless piles of empty rooms with fluorescent lights at full hum-buzz.

You have to find your way out, but of course, some "friends" don't want you to leave. If you don't "wake up" in time, your nightmares will drown you.

"If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you."

Ratings and reviews

Not too bad, I will say. I love the game in general. There are a few things that, in my opinion, could be changed for the better. Get rid of the timer, make the entity more aggressive and frequent as you get further, change the objects to be only doors or tunnels or maybe even portals so "escaping" makes more sense, only allow the helpful eye on easy mode, make the entity appear sometimes further away and sometimes peeking around corners, make it actually chase you sometimes, stuff like that.

I love the game, it's fun and scary! However, I do have a slight complaint: the game requires you to be vigilant at all times, and thus look around quite a bit. However...the camera's motion isn't smooth, and it's difficult to be consistently looking around when you're constantly swiping to keep the camera moving.

Definitely has the right vibe, turned the music off to really try to immerse myself. Everyone keeps saying the camera, so that is known, but only one comment about the timer. One suggestion would be to remove the timer and have a local save that we can load back into once it becomes overwhelming. 5 minutes isn't enough time to build that sense of dread and panic, but I'm sure once the other levels are released it will be more panic-inducing lol. Overall, not too bad!
