The gameplay is criticized for its poor design, particularly in the second level, which many players find frustratingly difficult and nearly impossible to complete. Overall, the game is deemed unplayable by some users, leading to strong negative recommendations against purchasing it.
“The first level is fine, but then you get to the second level and it becomes rubbish and impossible to complete. I have tried with patience to play that level, and it makes the game unplayable. Do not buy this game at all. Horrible design, bad gameplay, and seriously, don't make backrooms games again. Worst purchase; it's actually a 0/10.”
