Thanks! I would've like more things to do as well but I wasted a lot of time during the gamejam on things that weren't included because they didn't work out. So yes, unfortunately gameplay-wise there isn't too much going on.
Oh, the ever-creeping terror! This whole game is one long, claustrophobic, cloying nightmare! In the best possible way, of course.
I'm still not fully versed in the world of the backrooms, but this game really sets the bar for describing what it would be like to be lost in the place.
You find yourself wandering down endless corridors with pathways opening and closing randomly, screams of panic and despair echoing down the halls from seemingly nowhere... our only company is the tapes from another soul lost in this place. Will we find him? Is there a way out of here? Or is this our life now?
I highly recommend you get this downloaded and experience the goosebump-inducing paranoia yourselves! As for you, Jam, keep up the awesome work =)
First off, let me just say: WOW! Played this as part of a 3 free indie horrors and thought all hope was lost for a good backrooms game, you have proven me wrong! If you're looking for honest in-depth feedback and an honest review, i give just that in my video. I think you'll wanna hear what i have to say!
Oh my fucking christ... I. This game is absolutely amazing. I honestly cannot explain how amazing everything felt. The constant dread, disorientation, and the ending absolutely killed me. I feel like at the point where the tape said "...don't think..." or whatever, I would've liked to hear some people fighting or off-distant screaming, similar to how there were thuds and other ambient noises.
This was an amazing experience! I love the graphics of this game and I can really appreciate the story it tells! Please add an endless mode with a creature that follows you. This game felt randomly generated which is amazing, it most likely was. And I am most definetly recommending this to others. The sounds were great as well, the crying and such. Please keep all of these elements if you consider on making a endless mode; it would be great! Again thanks for the amazing fun; definetly replayable!
Well done, creepy and absolutely solid. 👌👍 I was a bit sad that nothing happened at the end.. was waiting for a final booo... but then...🤣💥. Great Game 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐rs.
Holy crap, this gave me goosebumps all around. Audio was well put together, lighting and room variation filled me with dread the gloomier it got, and layouts made me look behind me more than once. At the end, I couldn't keep my headphones on, it was too much. I think that says you did an amazing job with this game! Congratz!
I'll give an 8. I take back 2 points because I couldn't go windowed 800x600 so I wouldn't fear that much. Amazing atmosphere and sound design. Really good. The story is pretty cool too.

Very atmospheric! Kind of wish there were more things to interact with though.

Awesome game! I love everything about it, the sounds and graphics kept things really creepy and made me tense the whole time.
I did run into a bug and ended up outside the map which I thought was intentional at first :)
I went back into it and found the ending though.
A great idea with a great atmosphere. Sounds and music were also great and also added to the atmosphere. Superb... :)
THIS GAME IS GENIUS.

This is how to make a maze game scary!

Either way, absolutely STELLAR game.
This has to be the best backrooms game I have experienced. Very well made and creepy.

Thank you so much for the kind words!
I might consider an endless mode at some point; originally I was going for one but it turned out to be too complex for the Gamejam.
One of the best Backrooms type of games yet
Gave it a go...
Made a video

I would absolutely love to see this as a full-fledged game at some point in the future. This was a great backrooms game! :D

Thanks!
And now that I think about it you're right! I forgot to enable the resolution launcher. Might push another update soon.
this was so great
my husband helped me play this. I have anxiety so he helps me with horror games to keep me from having seizures
is this a horror game where something chases you or where you freak yourself out due to the suspense? jw thinking about doing a lets play.
It's very atmospheric. I wouldn't say nothing chases you but definitely not in the usual way.
cool thx. i'll be doing a lets play of this some time next week
