positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a Backrooms enthusiast, this game is just absolutely terrible and is not worth playing even if it was free. The AI does nothing in the three (?) levels that they exist, the levels are way too short, the stamina regen feels like ♥♥♥♥ with the levels being as empty as they are and there is absolutely no fun or engagement to be had even with friends. The sound design doesn't really exist either, so this game just ends up bringing absolutely nothing to the table. Play these instead:…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't think it's totally bad. The game is actually decent in the first few levels, but once you get to the forest, it takes the piss a little. And this is where we stopped. I have no idea how many levels remain after that. You can see that it wants to be similar to Escape The Backrooms, and it didn't do a terrible job But it is missing a bit of charm to it It's redeemable if you ask me and I don't think it's fully deserving of a mostly negative review as of posting this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a game! It has game features, like game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the most boring "horror" game I've played. The monsters are useless, just doesn't do anything no matter what difficulty you choose. This is more like a running simulator game, than anything else. If u like to hold down the sprint button and interact with stuff, this is the game for u. This game is waste of time and money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We just released an update for Backrooms Media that adds Monster Hunt mode. It's a first step to transform this game into something with much greater replay value. Lmk your thoughts! #backrooms #indiedev #gamedev #survivalhorror #coop store.steampowered.com/app/2714970/...
unlabelledView post →This game feels completely empty and is incredibly disappointing. Even with workshop support, I doubt many players will want to stick around or support it. Here’s why: 1. No inventory system, making gameplay feel restrictive. 2. There are no cutscenes to drive any sense of story or immersion. 3. Monsters are buggy and often break the experience. 4. The lore feels completely inaccurate—like, why are there random monsters in the sewers? It doesn't even make sense! 5. The level designs are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buyer Beware: This is a Asset Flip Scam I'm going to try to keep this short because there are so many flaws right out of the gate. TLDR This game is a shameless copy/asset flip trying to cash in on the backrooms hype with false advertising. Don't be surprised if this game gets taken off steam soon. Edit: The developer just admitted to false advertising in their response and tried to justify asset flipping by saying "be happy that we don't use AI generated art" 🤣 False advertising…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not recommend this game...SO FAR. A lot of things are still buggy, but it's kind of...lame not gonna lie. - Issue with the server. - So many bugs. - There is something off with the sound. A lot of noise and disturbing base like someone was eating from a mic. - This is mainly just a maze game with backrooms skins and some buggy monsters. Maybe it will get better overtime, but the gameplay is really meh. The only moment I really enjoy was the pool level. To give you an idea, the Pool…

As soon as mouth-to-penis contact was made I felt a shockwave through my body. I have reason to believe I have super strength and telekinesis now.. 3 hours after contact I noticed a van parked on my street but no one has entered or exited the car since its arrival. I fear for my safety, I'm not sure what sort of power I may have stumbled upon but it's possible that the government has found out pretty…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't waste your money on this game. Game is buggy and broken from the start. You join the discord and complain about it and then they just kick you and block you from joining again. Refund incoming for this ♥♥♥♥ game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Backrooms Media is a game we’re helping to make and it just got a fresh update. We’d love to hear your feedback. #indiedev #gamedev #earlyaccess store.steampowered.com/app/2714970/...
unlabelledView post →I think the mostly negative score is unfair. I was able to play multiplayer and the level design was pretty fun. The stamina system, enemy AI, and difficulty could definitely use some work, but I think it's more of a 6.5 or 7 out of 10 right now. I'm excited to see what else is on the way!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bruh actually yall aint gonna fix ts? everytime i finish a map it crashes , laggy , full of bugs. its not even like backrooms there's no excitment or anything fun about this game wish there's a refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone that's played pretty much most of the Backrooms genre games available on steam with the same 3-4 friends, this game does not even come close to any of them. The enemy AI is absolutely terrible and does not even really react to you, meanwhile other Backrooms games have AI that will react to your voice, movement, etc. They constantly run into walls and get stuck, their design isn't interesting (and i'm fairly certain they're just ripped straight from the Unreal assets store, not that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not worth any money. This is an 2 hour game with no real scares. Nothing too scary. Wished the developers gave more to it, but it was a let down once We get to the house with a tv stating early access. Just wait to see if they update.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst backrooms game there is. It's just contrived level design after contrived level design. For instance, the first level has you find 3 things and then find a door. The literal second level is the same exact thing, couldn't come up with anything new. The monster AI is incredibly easy to cheese and there's no "puzzles" in this game. It's just running through hallways. Garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couldn't get past the first level because the game kept crashing over and over. This is supposed to be fully released and it's not even playable!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sorry but I'm about to dunk on this company hard first of all the level editor is not what I expected also the game wasn't even IN first person third of all no matter how many times you tweak the setting the game is really laggy please don't take these bad things as a thing that tears you down actually try to fix these problems.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the buggiest pieces of ♥♥♥♥ games I have ever played in my entire existence and trust me I have played a lot of video games growing up. It was really really boring. The monsters don't chase half the time. The monsters are also very generic. It is the same task through the whole game. When you take damage the host can hear everything like you are the person getting damaged.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played all the Backroom games, this has nothing to do with it, this is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ running simulator, waste of time and money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really nice concept for an early access game, and the roadmap seems even more promising! Cant wait for the updates!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The worst backrooms games I've ever seen. Its probably one of the worst asset flips as well. I don't even want it for free man
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst backrooms game ever, too many glitches!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't think this dev has ever seen a liminal space. The game is horrendously linear and has almost nothing to do with the backrooms. It's almost like the dev was developing a horror game and changed his mind halfway through.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is ridiculous, completely broken in every aspect; Missing collisions on many assets, the map has been poorly designed and there are some OBVIOUS map issues that even a naked eye will see. Not to mention the SFX in the game that are very poor and some of the content is stolen from other games/devs. Do not support this developer, you will get scammed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the early access levels and the game is a lot of fun. Looking forward to updates in the future
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant even start the game with my friends Way to many crashes to even attempt to play this game Yall need to get your ♥♥♥♥ together
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for an hour with friends, a total of 5 crashes and super bad optimisation. Don't play on this version
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crash Simulator
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That's really a tough experience that seriously tests your nerves. The atmosphere is creepy, and it's not that easy to get through those endless halls. I was on edge every moment, wondering if playing solo or with a team would make it easier. The puzzles are tricky, and fear of the unknown amplifies this challenge. If you like a game that keeps you guessing and on your toes, then this one's well worth trying. But do be prepared for a wild ride!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →By far the worst Backrooms game. It's mind numbingly boring, you just run around poorly designed mazes and try to find tiny hard to spot items. It's a really just a cash grab on the backrooms genre without adding anything new. The enemies are not intelligent and gameplay is non-existent.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i got this game for free so my review will be biased: it sucks. big time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst backrooms i have ever played, this is the definition of ♥♥♥♥, dont buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst backrooms ive ever played. so laggy and sound issues. its terrible. The lack of stamina makes the game so unplayable and unenjoyable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ازق لعبه لحد يشتريها .. تعلق و يستوي كراش
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →crach crach crach
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashing every new level
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than most Backrooms games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well this is a first, I never thought I'd leave such a negative review until now. Bar the three times where the game crashed my entire PC, I didn't experience many bugs besides a couple of odd audio clippings. So I won't really focus on the technical stuff. Despite a lack of story, I quite enjoyed the first 15 minutes of this game. I thought the backrooms shadow monster and the copycat monster mechanic were a pretty solid concept that if done right, could prove to be interesting. Sadly both…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game isn't as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be, sure there are quite a few bugs(like some monsters disappearing), but the game is still in progress, and being able to play while the developers are working is fun! It's definitely worth it for the price(which atm is $2).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great little game to play with a couple of friends. Teamwork is the key for this one. Didn't take much to figure out what we were supposed to do to escape the levels and didn't experience any bugs or anything that broke the game. Looking forward to the other levels the devs plan to release. Will definitely play again!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game with potential for future expansion. Wondering what the devs will include in the future updates, but it's a good start. Price seems ok for EA.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly high number of levels at release
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game, not sure why so many negatives. My only complaint is that I can't seem to get my questions answered.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really dissapointing sadly.. the quality is pretty bad given the exception that its early access but its really buggy. Really hoping to give it another shot further down the line.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the reviews have been unusually harsh and somewhat suspect imo. I really like the game so far and have most backroom games available that are decent. I like the camera movement (realistic setting). I like the procedural generation a lot!!!! I like the spooky darker areas of level 0 and 1. I will say that the dev should consider adding glare to ther flourescent lights and lights in general. maybe some red tracers when moving camera really fast? The lighting reflections also look…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really excited for this game when it had released the creator made the game seem so promising only to be let down by horrid gameplay and frequent crashes of the game. I would not recommend buying this game if any and all costs until the creator can get their head on straight and fix their game. The puzzles in this game do not match the size of their map at all which makes it extremely boring to complete and takes way too long and not satisfying when a level is complete. There are plenty…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game smacked us with fatal error every time we did anything. tried all suggested tips. rip
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like this game :-)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is literally unplayable in multiplayer. Tried to team up on stream for all to see and we couldn't even leave the lobby without fatal error showing up on screen. Shouldn't have to try to change it to dxll or whatever it is being suggested. Shouldn't be this difficult to start a game. I'm sure others have complained on the community page but it all gets deleted. Can't recommend what i can't play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, among to all other backrooms games this might be the worst. Hype for no reason. The excuse for work in progress its not valid, if the game its not complete at ALL dont even release it. There are no basic mechanics like crouch. The maps are just 10 mins of running and opening doors, nothing to interact or even a inventory. There are no quests so basically the maps are pointless so is the game. Refunded.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't listen to the people crying, this game clearly says Early Access. Full group of us played and had no issues. Excited for future updates!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play any other Backrooms game instead, this one is terrible. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1943950/Escape_the_Backrooms/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1987080/Inside_the_Backrooms/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2141730/Backrooms_Escape_Together/
