graphics6 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Immersive atmosphere with detailed, realistic graphics and sound design that effectively create tension and unease.
  • Expansive and well-crafted level design featuring varied liminal spaces like airports, malls, and offices, with subtle entity encounters enhancing the horror experience.
  • Clear, cohesive storyline with multiple endings that add narrative depth uncommon in similar Backrooms games.
  • Gameplay is slow due to limited and sluggish player movement, making exploration sometimes tedious.
  • Save system is frustrating as saves get wiped or reset to the start of levels, requiring replay from the beginning to access alternate endings.
  • Relatively short and linear experience with low interactivity and some underdeveloped areas, resulting in limited replayability.

  • graphics

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    55% positive mentions, 18% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for being good to great, with realistic and scenic visuals that enhance the game's atmosphere and immersion. Some users highlight creative and beautifully designed environments, while a few note that the graphics feel repetitive or generic. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the gaming experience.

    • “Graphically the game is great, which ties into the atmosphere the game creates, enhancing the experience.”
    • “The graphics are very realistic and the ambient sound effects had me locked in the whole way through.”
    • “Liminalcore: very creative pool rooms, Escher-rooms and playrooms, with beautiful graphics.”
    • “But this just has copy-pasted graphics with nothing else to it.”
    • “I agree that graphics are good but it's quite boring.”
    • “Interesting though fairly with some pretty visuals really scenic at times.”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its relaxing, immersive setting enhanced by gradual visual decay and strong graphics. It effectively creates a tense, liminal horror mood without overusing monsters or jump scares, focusing instead on subtle, atmospheric storytelling.

    • “That gradual visual decay does so much heavy lifting for the atmosphere.”
    • “Graphically the game is great which ties into the atmosphere the game puts you in which is great as well.”
    • “I tend to prefer backrooms/liminal horror games that don't hit you with excessive monsters and jump scares, and which instead rely on atmosphere, as this one does (don't get me wrong, there are monsters in this one - but they're used quite sparingly).”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The story is generally simple and straightforward, offering a relaxing and atmospheric experience with a clear, cohesive narrative featuring multiple meaningful endings. While some find it generic and unengaging, others appreciate its well-crafted environments and deliberate plot, distinguishing it from typical backrooms games.

    • “It's also one of the rare Backrooms titles that presents a clear, cohesive storyline, complete with multiple endings that both feel deliberate and well-earned.”
    • “Anemoiapolis: good story, every area, room, and level is handcrafted and interesting - no boring yellow mazes.”
    • “Nothing extravagant; but a relaxing walking sim with a simple story and atmospheric setting.”
    • “Graphics are good, but the story and gameplay are generic and boring.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The gameplay is functional but lacks innovation, with slow movement and a flawed save system that hampers pacing and replayability. While exploration can be enjoyable initially, the overall mechanics feel generic and sometimes appear designed more to extend playtime than enhance experience.

    • “The game is good but feels almost like it's geared to pad out gameplay time in some places; however, I did enjoy exploring this game especially in my first run through.”
    • “There is also the save mechanic which is borderline useless; all of your saves get wiped at game end and even when not wiped send you back to the start of the level you saved on instead of the actual point you saved at (at least in my experience).”
    • “First of all is the running which was also present in backrooms exploration with the movement being too slow especially walking (which you will occasionally be forced into doing both in the starting and ending areas and the pool rooms). It makes gameplay painfully slow and replays tedious but ultimately it is what it is.”
    • “There is also the save mechanic which is borderline useless; all of your saves get wiped at a game end and even when not wiped send you back to the start of the level you saved on instead of the actual point you saved at (at least in my experience).”
    • “It’s effective, but compared to the rest of the game’s creativity, it could have used a stronger visual or mechanical twist to make it stand apart.”

  • replayability

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

    The game offers a brief experience with limited replayability, but its low price makes it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious players.

    • “Short experience with little replayability, even considering the budget price.”

  • grinding

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

    Users find the grinding in the game tedious due to slow movement speeds, especially when forced to walk in certain areas, which makes gameplay and replays feel painfully slow.

  • stability

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

    The game exhibits occasional sound and visual glitches that affect stability but still maintains a high level of immersion and well-designed levels. Overall, stability issues are present but do not significantly detract from the experience.
