optimization3 negative mentions
  • The game offers a good, immersive Backrooms exploration experience with atmospheric visuals and sound design that capture the eerie essence of the Backrooms.
  • VR mode, although needing optimization, is praised for immersion and natural-feeling walking mechanics, with players enjoying the unique camera mechanics and puzzle elements.
  • Developers respond quickly to feedback, adding accessibility options like removing headbob and blur that improve comfort for players sensitive to motion sickness.
  • VR performance suffers from lag, bugs, and optimization issues even on high-end hardware, leading to crashes and frustrating experiences for some players.
  • The game is short with only a few levels and lacks sufficiently clear objectives or in-game instructions, causing confusion and occasional progression issues.
  • Walking mechanics on flat versions can feel awkward and unnatural, sometimes breaking immersion, and certain visual elements like dark areas reduce visibility of key objects.

  • graphics

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for being good, visually appealing, and effectively creating a creepy, immersive atmosphere. However, users note limitations such as lack of advanced graphical settings, poor VR performance despite simple visuals, and issues with lighting on lower settings. Overall, the visuals are strong but could benefit from more customization and optimization.

    • “A short, decent-enough backrooms game with a bit of creepy atmosphere and good visuals.”
    • “Good maps, beautiful graphics and lots of backrooms weirdness; however, I do have one major complaint: the walking mechanics are dreadful; I felt like a baby elephant stomping around the place.”
    • “I constantly felt unsettled like I was being watched, graphics were amazing and the liminal layout was great!”
    • “And then we arrive at the bane of nearly every game in the genre: barebones graphical options and excessive headbob.”
    • “On my PC, I can run graphically far more demanding VR games at 90 fps without issues, but this game struggles.”
    • “Strangely, the lower graphics settings are unusable because everything becomes very dark, and even with the highest graphics setting it is darker than in the videos here (that are probably from the flat version).”

  • optimization

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The game's VR optimization is currently lacking, resulting in inconsistent and often poor performance compared to similar titles. While some modes like Steam XR perform better, overall VR still feels like an alpha-stage experience needing significant improvements. If optimized, the game has potential to be more enjoyable in VR.

    • “VR still needs optimizations but it is playable.”
    • “Pools VR is miles ahead, but if devs get the performance right, I'd love to revisit The Backrooms.”
    • “Feels like alpha software, VR needs tons of optimization.”
    • “The graphics are good, but the performance in VR is poor.”
    • “Performance was a bit all over the place.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay primarily focuses on exploration and solving exit puzzles, creating an immersive backrooms atmosphere. However, walking mechanics feel clunky and unrealistic, detracting from immersion. There is little action or threats, emphasizing a slow-paced, exploration-driven experience.

    • “Good maps, beautiful graphics, and lots of Backrooms weirdness; however, the walking mechanics are dreadful—I felt like a baby elephant stomping around the place.”
    • “Walking mechanics need to be better and a little slower; it just doesn't feel very realistic and breaks the immersion of what should be a really good Backrooms walking sim.”
    • “The gameplay consists of simply exploring and trying to figure out the exit, which can be considered a puzzle. I was stumped for a while on the first level.”
    • “Good maps, beautiful graphics and lots of backrooms weirdness; however, I do have one major complaint: the walking mechanics are dreadful. I felt like a baby elephant stomping around the place.”
    • “Walking mechanics need to be better and a little slower: it just doesn't feel very realistic and breaks the immersion of what should be a really good backrooms walking sim.”
    • “I don't believe there's any monster ever chasing you or much gameplay.”

  • atmosphere

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game effectively delivers a creepy and unsettling atmosphere that captures the true essence of the backrooms, enhanced by good visuals and a lack of jump scares, allowing players to comfortably immerse themselves in the spooky environment.

    • “A short, decent-enough backrooms game with a bit of creepy atmosphere and good visuals.”
    • “There are no jump scares, just extremely spooky atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is definitely unsettling, and it captures what I feel is the true essence of the backrooms.”
    • “Just a spooky atmosphere and wondering where you are.”
    • “There are no jump scares, just an extremely spooky atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is definitely unsettling and captures the true essence of the backrooms.”

  • story

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

    The story aspect is not addressed in the user feedback, which focuses instead on technical issues with connecting the game to the Meta Quest 3, causing PC lag and VR disconnections.

  • grinding

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

    Grinding in the game is generally intuitive and not overly tedious, making the progression feel smoother and more enjoyable.

  • stability

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

    The game's stability is hindered by bugs, particularly in the VR version, which also lacks some features available in the non-VR version.
