optimization2 negative mentions
  • Unique and creative blend of power washing simulation and Backrooms horror themes, offering satisfying cleaning mechanics with an engaging cooperative multiplayer experience.
  • Great atmosphere with well-designed levels, storytelling, voice acting, and environmental details that enhance immersion and player engagement.
  • Flexible gameplay modes including peaceful, normal, and hard difficulties, allowing players to tailor their experience from relaxing cleaning to tense survival challenges; regular content updates and unlockable cosmetics add replayability.
  • Gameplay loop can feel repetitive over time, especially with basic cleaning tasks becoming less engaging without new mechanics or varied objectives.
  • Certain levels and enemy encounters (like the pool room with muddy ducks and overpowered foes) can cause frustration due to their difficulty or design, negatively impacting player enjoyment.
  • Multiplayer modes sometimes suffer from dead lobbies or lack of active players, and minor technical roughness such as flat animations and occasional unpolished interactions exist.

  • story

    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    49% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The story in this game is widely praised for its unexpected depth, unique backrooms theme, and engaging environmental storytelling that enhances the gameplay without overwhelming it. Players appreciate how the narrative evolves across chapters, introducing new mechanics and intriguing plot developments that keep them hooked and eager for future updates. Though the initial chapter may feel a bit confusing, the overall story is well-crafted, immersive, and a standout feature that sets the game apart from typical cleanup or backrooms titles.

    • “At first you think "huh, this is just another clean up game", but then, suddenly you are faced with the depth of the story.”
    • “Not to mention the story, I am loving the story and how perfectly it is in the game, not too in your face if you don't care but there in all the small details. I love reading all the writing on the walls.”
    • “The story in the first chapter is just okay, and honestly a tiny bit confusing, at least for me, but chapter 2 was amazing and made me not want to put the game down!”
    • “The story isn't super in depth but it's written well and it's a nice addition to the overall atmosphere without interrupting gameplay much; no random scattered notes to stand around reading instead of playing the game, just scrub them off the wall.”
    • “Maybe I missed it but the game doesn't have a save option so if you start a mission, get halfway through but have to do something IRL, you have to start the mission all over.”

  • gameplay

    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 52% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The gameplay in this game blends satisfying, task-oriented cleaning mechanics with tense horror elements, offering a unique balance between routine and sudden chaos. It evolves across chapters by introducing new mechanics that keep the experience fresh and engaging, appealing to both casual players and those seeking more challenge. While some find the core cleaning loop repetitive over time, the game's atmosphere, progression system, and varied difficulty levels help maintain interest and replayability.

    • “The gameplay effectively balances quiet routine with sudden chaos, creating an engaging experience.”
    • “Players can choose different difficulty levels, allowing focus either on maximum tension or on the satisfying cleanup mechanics in a lower-pressure setting.”
    • “Each new chapter introduces new mechanics and more depth to the story, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging.”
    • “The cleanup-focused gameplay loop can become repetitive during longer sessions, particularly once players become familiar with the objectives and environmental structure.”
    • “Some tasks eventually lose their tension because the mechanics themselves remain relatively simple.”
    • “Enemy encounters also rely heavily on atmosphere rather than mechanical depth, meaning experienced horror players may eventually become desensitized to the scares.”

  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    46% positive mentions, 31% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    • “The graphics are so appealing to me.”

    • “This one leans more into the power-wash aspect than the backrooms part, but the backrooms art style is executed really well.”
    • “Visually, Backrooms Cleanup Crew relies heavily on environmental design and lighting rather than advanced graphical effects.”
    • “Not bad, I like the game especially the cleaning and new chapters 2 and 3. If you have weak PC requirements like mine (graphics RTX 960, CPU Intel i3, RAM 8GB), it's very nice.”
    • “The graphics are decent and the gameplay is satisfying.”

  • humor

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    • “The swap back and forth between cozy cleaning and crazy incursions leads to lots of funny moments with friends; nothing quite like watching them panic, run into a beam, and get sliced up.”
    • “By the end, I wasn’t just cleaning—I was laughing nervously, muttering 'why me?' to myself, and loving every absurdly spooky, mop-wielding second of it.”
    • “I love the power washer scary mix-up it provides without giving you a heart attack; more just gets you pumped up and laughing.”

  • atmosphere

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its eerie yet simple environments that effectively create a liminal and immersive experience.

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is generally smooth and visually decent, though it could benefit from improvements as it shows signs of typical issues seen in similar titles, such as reliance on Unity assets and occasional performance shortcomings.

    • “Performance is smooth and the game isn't something to scoff at visually.”
    • “I expected the usual from most backrooms games, they usually aren't the best but are still pretty fun, you know, poor optimization here, Unity store asset there.”
    • “Only criticism is that it could use some better optimization.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    • “This game is more playable than the majority of EA titles.”
    • “It's not very long at the moment, but it's very creative and replayable.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game maintains a persistent low-level tension that prevents players from fully relaxing, imbuing even minor tasks with significant emotional weight. This continuous sense of unease enhances the overall emotional engagement.

    • “Players are never fully allowed to relax, and that constant low-level tension gives even the smallest tasks emotional weight.”

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's use of silence rather than constant music effectively heightens player awareness of eerie environmental sounds, creating a more immersive and suspenseful atmosphere.

    • “Silence is often used more effectively than music, making players hyper-aware of every strange noise in the environment.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization approach is seen as fair and genuine, reflecting a passion-driven project rather than a cash grab.
