Really amazing use of sound design and atmosphere to make the experience super creepy, loved this game! Glad that the recent Backrooms hype has led to more people playing this game!
Loved the journey of exploring through the backrooms while collecting tapes that tell you the experience of someone else, among other creatures. Good design on new paths gradually opening, it makes it seem more fluid and nails the feeling of being inside someplace that may be alive. Thank you for making this!
Personally, really didn't like the end. the noise that plays is really grating, and it's clear what's going to happen when the tape stops, but everything up to that point is absolutely amazing. Fantastic work!
Hi I heard you lost quite a bit of your data on the backrooms game you made, and I figured maybe I could reach out and you may say yes.
Now onto what I would like to ask you...
Would you like to collab on a project I will be working on??? I will need a lot of help with it and will be super appreciative if you agree.
It will be a normal fnaf game turning into a backrooms game but instead of backrooms entities it will be FNAF animatronics chasing you into hallways with lockable doors.
Again I would really appreciate if you agree I can write out the scripts and all the functions but I will need your help making everything.
If you have any further questions my email is Monkeyghostroaster@Gmail.com
Feel free to message it anytime you feel like you would like to collab or have a Q&A.
This was truly an experience, while I was walking I kept repeating to myself "please don't have some monster following me" and honestly up until the end I had no idea if there were actual creatures in those halls or if it was just noise, and *spoiler alert* in the end, even though I predicted that the body would just get up and run towards me, it totally made me jump, this was so good lol, great job!
Using this theory i have a proposal for an update:
-I have counted 14 cassete tapes
-So I propose that in the next update, 2 of the tapes will always be in level 0
-4 of them will always be found in level 1
-5 of them will always be found in the intermission
-another 2 will always befound in level 2
-and the last one will always be found in level 3
With this feature, another feature will be added to go with the first feature. The second feature will stop you from going to the next level without finding the cassete tapes for the current level. For example, you will not be able to go to level 1 without having all of the cassete tapes from level 0.
Update: After some thought I decided to rename the level with wood floors as a fanmade oddball level known as "the intermission" which will acively try to convince you to try levels 0 or 1 again before going to level 2.
It totally is, yea! I read a lot of this wiki when making the game. Originally I wanted to have a lot more levels but was restricted due to the Jam deadline. The game is more of a reinterpretation of common descriptions/images you usually see of the Backrooms however.
I knew that ending was coming so I just stared at the "danger" (No spoilers here) and stood there for about five minutes until I just gave up and turned around.
A good game with a great, dreadful atmosphere that certainly keeps the player compelled, yet be wary about each step they make. Excellent sound design!

Oh wow! This game had me on edge the entire game play! The graphics are new to me, but it was still very exciting.Game here:

That's epic. 5/5
Good game, 10/10!!
LOST IN THE BACKROOMS
this was a great game, really unnerving at times which I enjoyed
Good job 👍🏼
I pooped my pants
100/10
Game was so good at keeping me in constant suspense, sucks that the ending was rushed tho. still an awesome experience
Really nice game. It could have some bug-fixes tho but overall a good game. I know you can't improve the game because of corrupted files.
i like ps1 style horror games
me too!
Hey, I wish there was a multiplayer option :(, the game's VERY good!
This was fantastic!
Personally, really didn't like the end. the noise that plays is really grating, and it's clear what's going to happen when the tape stops, but everything up to that point is absolutely amazing. Fantastic work!
Thank you!
Yea to be fair the ending is pretty bad imo. I just kinda rushed it because it was made for a GameJam.
Appreciate the honest feedback!

Fixed resolution means it runs poorly on my computer. Please add option to change resolution?

Hello. I feel like this is divided into levels 0-3 and a fanmade level known as the intermission.
If there is carpet you are in level 0.
If there is tiled floor, you are in level 1.
If there is a wooden floor in every neighbouring room, you are in the intermission.
If there are tiny halls with pipes, you are in level 2.
If there are brick or tiled walls, you are in level 3.
Is this correct?

Can you finish this game and upload video on YouTube? Great game!
Looks great. Out of curiosity, is it somehow related to this: http://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/ ?
The game has a similar atmosphere to reading stories from the Backrooms wiki.
It totally is, yea! I read a lot of this wiki when making the game. Originally I wanted to have a lot more levels but was restricted due to the Jam deadline. The game is more of a reinterpretation of common descriptions/images you usually see of the Backrooms however.
really enjoyed this. Time to read House of Leaves again!
That was very good!
I love this game.
Its perfect
I'm ashamed that I didn't know about this game until now.
I loved and analyzed the elements in your game sir.
good job well done nice game I liked it
-Made a Video. (Old Video)
-The Game: 09:44 (The 3rd Game)
F*ckingcreepy! The scariest game i´ve tried this year...oooh fuck, so scarry, rlly nice game!! i like so mutch
Ending was kinda disappointing, but I still liked the game
I would like an update for more fps also an optimization, the fps are low and it is not playable for me
I knew that ending was coming so I just stared at the "danger" (No spoilers here) and stood there for about five minutes until I just gave up and turned around.
I LOVED the way this game built up and built up and built up until you felt like you were about to burst with nail biting anxiety.
A good game with a great, dreadful atmosphere that certainly keeps the player compelled, yet be wary about each step they make. Excellent sound design!
I love how the map is disorienting and completely random. I beat the game going up instead of down. Meh jumpscare but nothing's perfect.
The perfect game IMO would combine your room generation with Pie On a Plate's version's gameplay elements. Just my two cents.
great game
