  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game's graphics for their near-realistic visuals and atmospheric, unsettling design, particularly appreciating the detailed maps and immersive liminal environments. However, some note performance issues in VR despite relatively simple visuals, and express frustration with poor lighting on lower settings and a lack of customizable graphic options. Overall, the graphics are highly rated but could benefit from improved performance and more settings.

    • “Good maps, beautiful graphics and lots of backrooms weirdness.”
    • “And the graphics are 10/10.”
    • “I constantly felt unsettled like I was being watched, graphics were amazing and the liminal layout was great!”
    • “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).”
    • “Needs more graphic options.”
  • optimization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization, particularly for VR, is inconsistent and generally poor, with performance issues noted especially in Steam VR mode. While some improvements are seen in alternative VR modes, the overall experience feels unpolished and in need of significant optimization to reach the standards of similar titles.

    • “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.”
    • “Performance was a bit all over the place.”
    • “The graphics are good, but the performance in VR is poor.”
    • “Feels like alpha software, VR needs tons of optimization.”
    • “Performance was bit all over the place.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay primarily focuses on exploration and puzzle-solving within atmospheric maps, creating an immersive backrooms experience. However, the walking mechanics feel clumsy and unrealistic, detracting from immersion. Overall, gameplay is slow-paced and lacks dynamic elements like threats or action.

    • “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.”
    • “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, 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.”
